“Kim was wonderful with my 2 fur babies. They can be a little complicated because they both take different medications and different food. Kim sent pictures every day. They had a great time during their stay and enjoyed making new fur friends as well!”

“This was my first time using Rover and a dog sitter and it could not have gone better. Jane was excellent and sent me daily updates and photos. I had always used the bougie dog boarding places previously and my puppers would always come home stressed. This time, with Jane, it was completely different. They were stress free and relaxed. I would absolutely request dog sitting from Jane again. Thanks so much!!”

“Christina is AMAZING! We were in a tight spot and needed to extend Charlie’s stay with her unexpectedly and Christina was so accommodating and flexible and was quick to not only keep Charlie and extra day but bring her home as well. She is truly 5 ⭐️. So very grateful for her and how she cares for Charlie!!”

“Samantha gets an A++++++ from us & my dogs! My dogs loved her & she was soooo easy to work with, I will go back to her & would recommend any of you with dogs to leave them with her. She sends pictures everyday showing how she & the dogs are getting along. She even bathes them while they are there. When I picked my Rottweiler puppy up, she was so excited to see me, & wanted me to meet Samantha. Dogs are so smart.”

About: Hi! I'm Gwen, a lifelong dog lover and proud dachshund mom. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. I have experience with small breeds, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs that need extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of love, communication, and one-on-one care I provide. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and your time away stress-free. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. As a dachshund owner, my days revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I take time to learn each pet's personality, habits, and comfort level to help reduce stress and keep them feeling secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

I love playing with dogs and running outside with them! I wanna make sure that the dog is being loved on and taken care of! I only work on weekends at a restaurant so my weekdays are completely free so i’d love to take care of animals during my free time. I would care for my clients pets by making sure they are well feed and hydrated and make sure to walk them as much as needed and ask the owners questions about their dog to make sure the dog is as comfortable as possible.
