Dog-Doting Retiree! HOME F/T!

Pet care experience

Hello! I am Gwen, and I live close to George Washington Carver School and am truly a dog lover. Big or small I love them all! Dogs are such wonderful loyal companions. They can teach us much about our interactions with others and living life. I have always figured a house without a dog is just not a real home. I would be thrilled to meet you and your pup and build a relationship that will last. You can be sure that your dog will be taken care of and given the attention that cannot be provided at a kennel. Your dog will be welcome to my home anytime! I am home full time, and I am also one of the pet sitters who has undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face meeting with a home inspection. Many of my clients appreciate that I generally take just one family's dogs at a time. My fees for each overnight stay of up to 24 hours: $44 for a small dog up to 44 lbs. $48 for a dog 45-94 lbs. $60 for a dog 95 lbs or larger. My fees for each daycare stay: $36 for a small dog up to 44 lbs. $40 for a dog 45-94 lbs. $50 for a dog 95 lbs or larger. I offer a reduced rate if you have more than one dog or need an extended stay. I am so very excited to meet you and your beloved dog. It will be my privilege to have your pup as my house guest! Why I love dog sitting I love all dogs! And I do mean all! Big, small, young, old, doesn't matter! Dogs are and always have been a big part of my life and I like it that way! About my yard I have a nice fully fenced-in yard, perfect for soaking up some sunshine and spending a long afternoon playing games of tug o' war, fetch, or jumping in the kiddie pool when it's hot. My experience administering medication Yes, I have no problem administering medication as you tell me to.

Gwen is the best! She treats my Gilda with the love she would give to her own dog. Gilda loves her!

Gwen is wonderful. Both toy poodles enjoyed the weekend with her and for just a moment, I thought they didn't want to go home with me.
