Animal lover home FT for great care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Gwen and have had various pets all my life. My most recent fur baby family member was a English Springer Spaniel who just passed away after 15 glorious years together. We are pet sitting as a means to get those furry snuggles in, while saving for a new family member for ourselves. 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 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 any schedule, 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!

Our boy had a wonderful stay with Gwendolyn. We received lots of great photos and messages during his stay. We will definitely use her again!

Gwendolyn was great ambassador for Rover. This was my first experience using the service and I couldn't have been happier with how it went. Gwendolyn sent me daily updates, pictures included, was super capable, and is a kind & friendly person to boot. No complaints whatsoever! Because of my excellent experience with Gwendolyn, I plan to use Rover again.

Gwen was wonderful with my pup Ricky! She sent me updates with photos frequently and he had a blast with her and her kids. I will definitely be booking with Gwen again!

Gwen is an amazing dog sitter and her family added to the joy and love that Callie received for two weeks while we were on vacation. She sent pictures and notes everyday regarding Callie’s activities with her family and was taken everywhere Gwen went including long walks, rides in the car to pick up her children and fun activities with her ball and toys at home. She was snuggled and loved like she was a member of Gwen’s family. We won’t leave our Callie with anyone but Gwen! 💚

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.
