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.

Pet care experience

USE THIS CODE TO RECEIVE $20 OFF YOUR 1st VISIT(With Rover) Code: GWENDR68330 I have forever been a dog Lover. I’ve delivered three successful litters. 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 .

We had a great experience with Gwendoline! Our 6 month old pit mix was nervous around the other dogs at first so Gwendoline did slow intros to make her feel comfortable. She was running around with all the dogs and making friends within the first hour! We will definitely be bringing her back soon!

Sadie had a great stay with Gwendoline. Her large backyard was perfect for Sadie to roam and play in. Sadie came home happy, relaxed and was asleep within a minute on the ride home. I couldn’t recommend Gwendoline more and will absolutely be booking again next time I’m in the area.

Gwendoline was wondering caring for our dog Maddie. Maddie loved running and playing ball in her giant backyard!! Gwendoline was also great working with us when our pickup time was delayed. Really appreciate her kindness and care.

Gwendoline is an angel. When my Mom was unable to watch my English Bulldog puppy last minute for a wedding this past weekend. She gladly accepted even with short notice. I was very nervous about leaving her, after meeting her family, I knew Potato would be loved and cared for like her own. She understood the needs and demands of curious puppy. She made me feel welcome and at ease. Thank you again for your help and care. I hope we will get to see you again soon!
