I’ve taught basic commands and house trained one of the litters by eight weeks. I have great patience, energy to play and extra love for these amazing furry friends. I’m able to handle pet emergencies and have the knowledge of how to deal with any unusual behaviors. Update: August 12 I’m currently volunteering at a boarding, grooming and training center. I care for up to 14 dogs at a time. I take them on adventures through the water and the woods usually up to 8 at a time. I care for a range of different breeds from chihuahuas to Cane Corso’s but a majority are doodles. I love caring for them and ensuring they feel safe, happy, fed, cuddled, clean and tuckered out by the end of the day .

Boarding • Oct 06, 2026

Our pup had an amazing stay with Gwen and her family. He’s a puppy, and it was his first time boarding - but the experience could not have gone better. He LOVED the beautiful big yard and clearly got so much loving attention. Gwen’s communication was excellent. We are already planning to book again! Highly recommend.

Gwendolyn is absolutely wonderful! She has taken care of our two dogs, Ari and Delilah, many times and we couldn’t ask for anyone better. She does a phenomenal job with our girls and truly treats them like they are part of her own family. It gives us such peace of mind knowing that when Ari and Delilah are with Gwendolyn, they are not only well cared for, they are loved, spoiled and given lots of attention! It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares about them, and they love being with her. We are so grateful to have someone we trust completely with our girls. We highly recommend Gwendolyn to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like family. She’s the best!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 29, 2026

Gwendoline was amazing with Winston! I was nervous using the app for the first time, but she immediately made me feel comfortable and was so welcoming. She took Winston to the dog park, sent me pictures throughout the day, and I could tell he was very loved and had the best time. I would absolutely trust her with him again!

Safety, trust & environment

Years ago, I had went on vacation and trusted a local veterinarian clinic to take care of my puppy. My pup was on a special diet because of bowel issues. I provided my trust to this establishment and went on vacation. Three days later excited as ever to pick my puppy pup the vet handed me someone else’s dog. Once finding my dog, they handed me her and her food bag that hadn’t been touched. I felt like I had sent my dog to puppy prison. Due to this horrible experience, I have a total understanding of not trusting someone new around someone you love so much. We all just want to be at ease with excitement for our pup to be on a vacation while we are. I’m trustworthy, professional, and knowledgeable. I have excellent communication with updated photos and videos as often as you’d like and will honor and follow your care plan. My home is suited for all size dogs. I live in School Lane Hills with an acre of fenced property and three floors of clean and safe indoor comfort. Live recorded cameras outside and inside my home. Backyard and deck fenced in to run safely . Outdoor couches to lie on and sun bathe, sand pit and plenty of shade and water play for those extra hot days. Your pup for sure will be well cared for, happy, comfortable and play satisfied at the end of his or her stay.
