My experience

I have usually had a pet or two around, including dogs and cats, but am currently pet-less. I often care for my daughter's dog and enjoy taking the neighbor's dog for walks. Having grown up on a farm in Australia I am very comfortable

I have no hesitation in recommending Gwynn as an excellent choice to care for your home and pet. I have known Gwynn for over 25 years as a professional and a friend. She is a person of integrity. She is caring, honest, capable and reliable. Gwynn has often stayed at my beach property in my absence and I have always felt very comfortable knowing she is there taking very good care of it. She pays great attention to detail and is very practical. She can assess problems and has often alerted me to emerging issues and even fixed the problem in several instances. She is a clear and responsive communicator, always striving for shared understanding. She always leaves my house in immaculate condition. I have no doubt that she will look after and maintain the high standards of any property which was left in her care. Gwynn has a great love of animals. I have observed her interacting with her own pets, my cat, and the pets of friends. She is kind, attentive and playful. I wholeheartedly recommend Gwynn as a responsible and loving sitter for your home and pets. You can be assured that your home and animals will be in caring and capable hands. Karen Gladstone
