Dog lover who loves being outside!

Pet care experience

My dog-sitting experience started with an adult Australian Shepherd, named Walter in December 2015. After a family death, my neighbor asked me to watch Walter so she could fly home to CA to be with her family. While I had no idea how to take care of a dog, I was determined to help out and get over my fear of dogs which began after I was bit at age 6. Fast forward..I adopted my 1 1/2 year old mini poodle in March 2018. Lenny is a rescue from South Korea! He flew 14 hours on a plane to get to me. Lenny has changed my life forever and we’re always looking for friends to play with! I love being able to spend time and get to know dogs of all shapes and sizes, and so does Lenny! I love going on long walks and being outside as much as possible with the dogs. I also recently graduated with my masters in social work and am spending time now studying for my licensing exam, so I have a lot of time for dog play :)

Aeva has been with Gwen several times since lat year and Aeva always has a great time - comes back to us happy and well cared for. Gwen is responsible and caring and takes care of Aeva like her own. This stay Aeva met Lenny (Gwen's new pet) and had a great time with Lenny. I highly recommend Gwen (and Lenny) and plan to have Gwen continue to take care of Aeva later this summer.

Gwen took care of my dog, Cosmo, for a second time this past April. When I picked Cosmo up, he was happy and content. I will definitely have Gwen take care of Cosmo again in the future!
