Pet care experience

Breathe a sigh of relief! I got it!

I've raised animals, mammals and reptiles mostly, my entire life. I'm known amongst my friends and family as "snow white", because creatures of all kinds seem to enjoy my presence to a strange degree, something I'm very grateful for. The well-being of your pet is my number one priority, I am attentive and detail oriented in my care style. If your pup is up for it, I can run around the backyard with your dog for hours on end! I currently work full-time at AllPaws Retreat, where I manage groups of 30+ dogs at a time; reading body language, redirecting energy, gentle behavior correction, capturing momentary obedience training opportunities, and building trust with dogs of all temperaments is the bulk of my day. In a client's home, water bowls will be kept full, any accidents will be cleaned as soon as possible, and I will adhere to your desired feeding schedule. If you have a backyard or a private outdoor area, I will gladly spend time with your pet there, making sure they don't get too scratched up or dehydrated from play. I will be in contact with you throughout the duration of the sitting period. Daily fun pictures will be sent! I will mention concerns over noticed behaviors that seem out of the ordinary or indicative of possible health conditions.

Safety, trust & environment

At a client's home, I will make sure to stay within designated animal areas if you so desire, keep the animal hydrated and fed as needed (also according to your desired feeding schedule) Any bathroom accidents will be cleaned by my own hand asap, taking care of animals is in my blood.

Gwen did a lovely job watching my two pups! My dogs are seniors with separation anxiety who need medicine administered multiple times a day. Gwen was great at making sure they got all their treatments while keeping them happy and engaged! She also kept me in the loop with pictures and answered all of my questions. I highly recommend her for pups who need a little extra love and attention.

Gwen is so lovely! She has helped care for my rabbits and gecko on multiple occasions. My pets love her and I always have peace of mind when Gwen is in my home. She is very communicative and always lets me know if she notices anything out of the ordinary with my home or pets. She brings in the mail & waters my plants when I am away as well. I am so lucky to have someone like Gwen to watch my babies when I travel.

Schedule

My work schedule is very fluid, if you give me two weeks prior notice I can even clear my previous work schedule for your convenience. My two cats are fed twice a day, with their box being cleaned every morning and night. My youngest child, a ball python of 5 years is currently on medium sized rats, which he gets approximately every 2 weeks

If your pet has any dietary restrictions please let me know. If an animal has any trauma responses that you know of, please pass on that information, I want to be as accommodating as I possibly can towards your pet.
