The business began as Gwinnett Pet Watchers and was founded by Robin Taylor, a former corporate executive and lifelong animal lover who has lived with dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, ferrets, birds, fish, a rabbit, a squirrel, and a turtle. Her first job was as a trainer at Bad Dogs in Atlanta, GA, where she trained dogs in general obedience and tricks, for protection, for commercials, and for local celebrities including Hank Aaron. She later earned an Engineering degree and spent 20 years in corporate sales before returning to animal care. The team of pet sitters and dog walkers completes an internal training program and Pet First Aid training, and candidates are selected for their desire to connect with both an animal and its owner. The business is bonded and insured, employs technology focused on the safety and security of sitters and clients, and maintains back-up sitter protocols so that cross-trained sitters can cover for one another.

The business is on 6th Ave in Winder, about 0.4 miles from Winder Public Library, Winder Legacy Park, and Russell Middle School, and roughly half a mile from the North Broad Street Residential Historic District. North Broad Street and Broad Street are each about 0.7 miles away.

Gwinnett Pet Watchers holds a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it. For Winder pet owners who want their dogs, cats, and other animals cared for at home rather than boarded, the business brings trained, bonded sitters and a schedule built around the time each visit takes.
