Pet care experience

I'm a vet tech, and a certified service dog trainer, I'm able to accommodate pets with special needs, I can give medication as needed. I have years of experience in caring for animals. I also raise and show Borzoi. I live on a small 8 acre ranch with chickens, turkeys, goats and horses. My home is a great place for dogs. It is quiet without close neighbors. I will treat your dog like one of my own. I am available most days. Your dog will get to play and socialize with my dogs and learn some valuable lessons. I am able to reinforce your dogs obedience training to keep them a good citizen. I do prefer that your dog is crate trained and not aggressive

This was Buddy's first overnight in quite a while. I was not too sure he would adjust to a house with multiple other dogs, and a cat to boot. He was fine, made friends, and really enjoyed his stay. Gwen is a true animal lover and really seemed thrilled to have another animal to care for and spoil. When we take an extended trip in the Fall, Buddy will return for a longer visit. I can't imagine a better person to leave him with.

Gwen is one of the best pet care professionals that you will find anywhere. For me, there are three things that make her uniquely qualified to be entrusted with your pups of all ages. First, her experience training service dogs gives her a rare perspective on the canine mind and positive ways to manage all types of animal-related situations. Second, Gwen is a vet tech. Based on my own experience having a severely handicapped dog, it’s very hard to find a pet care person that knows how to properly give medications or to safely handle a dog with disabilities or to recognize unexpected symptoms that requires immediate veterinary attention. Third, her passion and compassion for animals is extraordinary. Gwen goes the extra mile to develop a bond with your dog. I’ve have watched her with little puppies and treasured seniors. My dog simply adores her. She is more excited to see Gwen than to see me ... and I give my dog more treats! There is even a bonus - your dog will get to make friends with horses and an adorable little mini horse.

I met Gwen over a year ago when I took my dog Rooney to his veterinarian. Since then Gwen has become Rooney's dog trainer and she also takes care of him when I go out of town. She is knowledgeable in all things pets! She is intelligent, kind and truly cares about animals. Rooney adores her and I am proud to call her my friend. Gwen is the only person I trust to take care of Rooney! I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs a critter sitter or to walk their dog. She's the best!!
