Safety, trust & environment

I do not board pets in my own home. I am very respectful of others' homes and feel comfortable working in them. I work in homes frequently for my job and side gigs.

Information Gwen P. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any special needs that your pet may have. I would also like to know about any triggers or sensitivities that they may have so that we can avoid those and I am the most prepared in case we come across anything (for instance: If your dog doesn't do well with other dogs, I can try to avoid them on our walk)

A typical day

I love playing with pets and will stimulate them mentally and physically. I will take your dogs to explore the local smells of the neighborhood and check out the closest parks nearby. Please let me know if your pet has a favorite toy or game.

Pet care experience

I am a very reliable, punctual, fun-loving mother of three fur babies. I specialize in pet care and can also do housecleaning, errands (within reason), and little things like checking the mail and such! I am from Bloomington, IN, and have always been the go-to person in my community to watch and love on animals while their owners are away.

Took great care of my cats and provided cute photos! My cats really liked her and I felt good knowing that they were being well taken care of. Will book again for sure! 💚

We LOVED having Gwen checking in on our cat! She gave me regular updates and it was very clear she was making the most of her visits to my boy. Making sure he was fed and giving him treats and playing with him! Our cat is older but pretty active and loves attention and cuddles. I'm currently pregnant and he's been very clingy to me lately so I was worried about leaving him for our babymoon trip. But Gwen made it very obvious that he was getting plenty of cuddles and play time whenever she was over! It definitely seemed like our cat missed her for a few days after we got home! He was in such good spirits when we got back and I was so relieved! Thank you so much Gwen for your love and care for our boy!
