Responsible caring Vet tech :)

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Gwen. I am a veterinary technician at an animal hospital and have been in the industry for 15 years, pet sitting for 20 years. I'm extremely caring, kind, professional, responsible and always put the needs of the pet first. I have experience with all kinds of animals including dogs and cats, small animals, and exotics such as birds and reptiles. I have grown up with animals and have been very involved with them my whole life so I know the importance of knowing your pet is well cared for when you're not at home. I love to be outside, explore different parks and lakes, any areas that would be fun for an animal to experience. I am committed to providing outstanding service and with my veterinary technician background know what to look for in case of illness. I love helping animals and will take care of your pet like they were my own. Always open to special requests. I'm currently pet sitting full time and am always available so I can tailor my schedule to your pet’s needs and level of care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with many trails and two lakes nearby. Also very close to the Boulder reservoir. I have outdoor space in my home and plenty of comfortable areas for your pet to relax in. I also have a Jeep which is great for easy access to hiking trails. My apartment is very spacious and cozy and I am the owner.

Gwen was awesome! She came to our cabin in the mountains to stay with our 2 dogs. Unfortunately while she was here we had a major snowstorm and our power went out and our generator stopped working. She was able to go out with our neighbor and get the generator restarted. She proved to not only be great with our dogs but also proved that she is very capable in emergency situations. We look forward to having her back to stay with Kody & Kiwi (hopefully without a snowstorm….)🐶🥰🐶

Gwen could not have been better with our two pups. They both have unique care needs and she handled them effortlessly. They were quickly comfortable with Gwen’s cam demeanor and we had no issues leaving on a long trip with them in her care. The house was also in better shape than when we left. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.

Information Gwen Y. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to provide whatever type of care will make your kiddo happy and healthy. I have no breed preferences and am open to all kinds of animals. I always ask for good contact information, any allergies or medications, safety around other animals and a number for your veterinarian in case of emergency.

A typical day

I like to take my cue for what your pet needs from you and your kiddo. If your pet is high energy I know lots of beautiful spots to go walking, swimming or with a ball or a frisbee. If your pet is senior and doesn’t love exercise I’m happy to just hang with them at home and make them comfortable
