Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in yard, and a pet friendly home with two children who will help me love on your fur baby while you are away. We love being around and caring for animals, so time spent with your dog will bring us happiness and comfort just as it does for your pet. We enjoy walks or hikes outside, hanging out in our back yard just enjoying the weather, or hanging out inside together. Whatever your dog is in the mood for, we will happily address.

Information Gwendolyn W. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your pets temperament especially what they are and are not comfortable with (for ex. any no touch spots, or not liking other dogs, etc). I would also like to know of any health issues they have or may be dealing with so I can both keep an eye out and address a problem in the event one arises. Vet information, favorite toys or activities can help both your pet and myself as well. How they are on walks, and if they would enjoy a hike, or a trip to the beach. It is important to me that I provide the best care for your fur-babies!

A typical day

I have a large yard which is great for tossing a ball and playing catch or frisbee with your dog or just let them run around. I also enjoy relaxing and snuggling with them if that is what they're in need of instead. We enjoy going on hikes, and if that is a good fit for your pet we would love to take them with us. Whatever they seem in the mood for we are happy to make happen.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Gwen and have had various pets all my life. I have a wide range of pet experience from training puppies, all the way up to the extra care needed with senior dogs. I have fostered dogs as well as being a long time owner. We have one English Springer Spaniel in our home who is very friendly and seems to adapt her play to the dogs that stay with us. We all love working with animals. When your pet stays with us, they are a part of our family for their stay, while you are away. They will be loved on by four sets of hands, not just one. We enjoy time outside, and I am reliable and hardworking. I can work around most schedules, and not only will I have time to watch, play with, and walk your dog every day, but I am excited for their tail wags while they enjoy themselves during their stay. If you have any questions, please feel free to send me a message. I hope you’ll consider me to care for your pet!

Gwendolyn, her husband, and her whole family were fantastic! Our dog absolutely loved staying with them and they were extremely accommodating, kind, and caring! We will definitely be back 😊

Gwendolyn took great care of our puppy while we had a night out! He enjoyed the play time at their house. Came home very happy and ready for bed. We will definitely be back. Coal loved hanging out with you and your family! Thanks! Mary, Phil and Coal
