Pet care experience

Student by Day, Pet Lover Always 🐾

I have experience with high-energy animals. As a college student, I’m responsible, organized, and dependable. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I take the time to follow each owner’s instructions carefully so their pets stay comfortable and happy. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety, well-being, and happiness.

Gwen did a wonderful job cat-sitting Lola. She left messages about each visit and noted anything of concern. She always sent a few photos after each visit as well. It made us feel better about being away, knowing Lola was ok. Gwen was a great sitter we would gladly rebook again!

Gwen was great taking care of our kitties! Our cat Zoya is usually very scared of meeting new people, only a few rovers have earned her trust through continuous visits and work, but with Gwen Zoya was out there to greet her from day 1, we were blown away. Peace of mind. We are very happy we chose her, she has great communication (mine was terrible I apologize!) Very helpful, kind and respectful, plus she had other cute little details that were very heart-warming and let you know what kind of person she is. 100% recommended. Will definitely book again.

Gwen took excellent care of my dog August! I work 12 hour shifts, and it was so nice knowing he was in good hands with her! She also gave detailed updates and sent the cutest pics!

Gwen watches my Belgian Malinois on a regular basis. Kaeli is a high energy and very physical dog. Gwen has taken the time to bond with her and to learn about the breed. When Gwen takes care of her, she is ready to go and excited to be with Gwen. Kaeli always is very happy and exercised when we get her back. I highly recommend Gwen to watch your pooch. She is dependable and trustworthy.

I am a college student this summer, so I have a lot of free time in between my clinicals. I’d love to be able to help anyone in need with their pets during my downtime.

I would just want to know any health concerns about your pet. Even their small quirks helps me make them more comfortable around myself. Like their favorite toy or favorite activity.
