An Introvert's Dream Gig

Pet care experience

I'm back on Rover after a few years and excited to connect with more animals (and their people, of course!). I've been pet-sitting for friends and family since I was young, eager for the chance to spend time with a variety of animals I've never had myself. I can easily adapt to what your pet needs, whether that's an hour of relaxed brushing or an hour of romping around in the woods. I have experience administering oral medication to both cats and dogs, and due to my flexible schedule, can show up for you as much or as little as needed.

Gwendolyn gave my girls a walk while I got some chores done around the house.

Gwen was awesome with our pets! She made sure they had all the attention they needed and was super flexible with us. Definitely will use her services again!!

As Gwen’s mother, I can attest to her being very responsible and taking current pet care duties seriously. She has cared for pets of friends, family and neighbors for years! She has experience with fish, birds, guinea pigs, cats and dogs. I highly recommend Gwen for her strong work ethic, high energy and love of animals!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat others' animals and spaces as I would want my own to be treated-- respectfully. It requires a good deal of trust to allow strangers into your home, which has a significance that isn't lost on me. My own cat is friendly and low-energy, though I've had plenty of experience with animals that are younger or more demanding. Each experience will be unique and tailored to your pet.

Information Gwendolyn C. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences, but it would be helpful for me to know if your dog is a jumper or has any history of aggression or over-excitement.

A typical day

Going on walks and jogs through neighborhoods, along trails, through forested areas-- wherever! I'm always down for a good game of catch, or a nap, of course. Animals often require company too, so be it high- or low-energy, I'm there to make sure they're not alone.

I am back in Renton for the foreseeable future, though probably not long-term. My schedule is very open (with a bit of notice preferred), so I can easily work with others' needs and timing preferences.
