Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable Dog Walker/Sitter
My experience with dogs began when my family dog, Sawyer, was introduced into my life in 2014, when he was only 7 months old. I learned the skills necessary to deal with a hyperactive Labrador puppy who still sometimes acts like one, even at 12 years old. I'm able to firmly grip leashes, having dealt with a dog that frequently used to tug as a puppy, and establish command when necessary. I grew up around other family dogs as well, so I can effectively recognize stressed behaviors when displaying and act accordingly. I have great awareness, which is necessary to distinguish potential stressors in unfamiliar walking environments that could set some dogs off. Most importantly, I love to care for animals, and I'd love to show that through my passion for walking dogs.

Safety, trust & environment
Before my walks with my dog, I check to make sure he drinks a good amount of water. Then I put on his harness and grab a couple of poop bags in case he decides to go twice on the walk (which he has done). When we get back, I like to give him a treat if he behaves well on the walk.
Ratings and reviews
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Gwenyth was while sitting my dog Bogey while we were away. Bogey never took to a new person the way he did with Gwenyth. She constantly sent photos and updates, played with him and was never away for long. We returned to an immaculate home and a very happy Bogey. I would highly recommend Gwen as a pet sitter.
Gwen did an excellent job. We had to add a dog to her sitting duties last minute and it became sick with an inflamed pancreas the day we left. She handled it like a champ. Took Winston to the vet 4 times over three days and was able to nurse him back to health. We are so grateful for Gwen and all of her help.
I highly recommend Gwen as a pet sitter and caregiver. She is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely caring with animals. I have seen first hand how patient and attentive she is and there is never a moment when she is not making sure lets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. She is also a great communicator and will ensure the safety of your animal at all times. Any family would be lucky to have Gwen care for their pets!
