Wanna Go For A Walk?

Hi! My name is Gwen. I am originally from Boston where I started as an amateur dog walker from a young age, walking my neighbors, and the occasional stuffed animal. My passion for dogs and other animals followed me through adulthood and I have continued pet care services for 10+ years living in Vermont and now Portland Maine! I am knowledgeable and experienced working with all times of animals and I am professional and trustworthy while dealing with keys and household information.

House Sitting • Dec 04, 2025

Gwen took care of our senior babies for a few overnights. They were very calm and contented when we got home.🥰 Gwen has a large dog just like ours and Nahla was all over her from the very first minute. Alphie, our king of the house cat came looking for lovins soon after. Gwen didn't blink when Alphie came down with a cold a few days before we left and thus needed twice daily meds. We are so grateful we found Gwen.

I could tell that Junebug had an awesome time because he slept for our entire 3 hour car ride home. I'd love to have him stay with Gwen again!
