Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays, but I have flexibility for lunch break visits on Thursdays and Fridays, and I am available in the evenings for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with pets. I also have much more availability on weekends. Because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, pet care is something I look forward to rather than an extra task. I am committed to being reliable, maintaining your pet's routine, and making sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you're away.

About Gwendolyn B.

Safety, trust & environment

At the moment, I am unable to provide pet care in my apartment, but I am more than happy to offer walks, drop-in visits, and care in your home. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. When caring for pets in a client's home, I will always follow any instructions provided regarding feeding schedules, walks, medications, playtime, and house rules. My goal is to create a safe, calm, and positive experience for your pet while giving owners peace of mind that their pet is receiving attentive and reliable care.

Dependable Pet Care You Can Trust

Pet care experience

I've loved dogs and animals for as long as I can remember and have had hands-on experience caring for my own dog since I was 8 years old. I grew up with a 110-pound Rhodesian Ridgeback, which made me very comfortable handling large, energetic dogs and understanding the responsibility that comes with caring for them. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's going on long walks, playing, sticking to established routines, or simply providing companionship, I am attentive to each dog's individual needs and personality. As a University of Chicago student, I am responsible, dependable, and highly organized. I understand that pets are family members, and I will care for your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection that I would give my own.

Gwen is a true animal lover and is very responsible caring for pets and children. She has always been an active family member with her own family dog, as well caring for other dogs and pets when their families are not available. She connects well with animals and also has a great deal of experience walking dogs of various sizes and breeds. I highly recommend her for responsible pet care.
