Ratings and reviews
Absolutely amazing! I got many pictures of my dogs while I was away! They went on so many walks and got so much attention they almost didn’t want to come home. If you want your dogs to have a vacation of their own definitely book with Gwendolyn!
Maisie had a great day. Thank you!
Fantastic dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and great communication. My pup was in excellent hands. Highly recommend!
Maisie had a great time at Gwendolyn’s. The nice long walk tired her out. Thank you Gwendolyn.
Dezee love staying with Gwen, every picture I received he looked happy and relaxed. This was really important to me since he has separation anxiety so I will definitely be booking with Gwen again.
Gwen has very good energy and our dog Chance appeared to be comfortable with her. They spent the day together at Gwen's home. We would book with Gwen again without hesitation. I felt that Chance was in a loving and caring home. Thank you for a great experience here on Rover.

Schedule
Because I’m retired, pet care is not something I squeeze into a busy schedule—it is my daily routine and priority. My day naturally revolves around the pets I’m caring for. Morning visits typically include feeding, potty breaks, walks, litter box care, and a calm check-in to make sure everyone is comfortable. Throughout the day, I plan my time around each pet’s needs, whether that’s medication schedules, exercise, playtime, or simply companionship for pets who prefer not to be alone. In the evenings, I do another round of feeding, exercise, and settling pets into their nighttime routine so they feel safe and relaxed overnight. For overnight stays, I maintain a consistent presence in the home so pets can stay in their normal environment with minimal disruption. On a weekly basis, I also schedule meet-and-greets, take on new bookings, and make sure I’m fully prepared for each pet’s individual routine before their stay begins. Since this is my full focus, I’m able to provide consistent, attentive, and reliable care without rushing or dividing my attention between other work commitments.

- Knowing important details about your pets ahead of time is crucial for a successful pet sitting experience, so any special needs or pet behaviors that you can share will be used to keep your pet as healthy and happy as possible. I have experience working with all types of dogs through my 5+ year of dog walking volunteer work and that translates to a improved interactions with any type pet and situation.
