About: I have adopted two cats in the past. I loved both of their unique personalities and caring for them just the same. I had a childhood dog that I was obsessed with and was a great emotional support to me. I believe animals are more than pets- they are our family and beloved friends and I will care for yours as if they were my own. I have lots of flexibility in my schedule to stay in your home or drop in at various times during the day to take your pets outside, feed them, and/or play with them and give them cuddles. Lots of time walking or playing outside for dogs. Play time inside with cat toys, treats and lots of cuddles and hugs for all the animals!

About: What sets me apart is my deep, hands-on experience with pets of all ages and needs. I’ve cared for both energetic puppies and senior dogs requiring special attention, often for extended periods. I’ve even stayed in clients’ homes for a week at a time to ensure their dogs received consistent, loving care in a familiar environment. Growing up around dogs and being a lifelong pet owner myself, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and the patience needed to care for them properly. I currently have a cat of my own, so I’m well-versed in the needs of both dogs and cats. Whether it’s going on long walks, administering medication, or just offering companionship, I provide genuine, attentive care tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. My schedule is very flexible right now, I am available Sunday-Friday! I can work seamlessly with your routine so your pets experience the care they deserve. In a client’s home, my focus is always on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment tailored to each pet’s routine. I make sure to follow their instructions closely—keeping up with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and any house rules their pet is used to. I always maintain a calm and respectful presence to help pets feel secure while their owners are away. Cleanliness and communication are also top priorities—I keep everything tidy and send regular updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, capable hands.

“Gretel is a real angel! We had to go on unexpected trip for more than two weeks and we were super nervous how to take care of our little son😻(cat). We found Gretel in Rover with great reviews and booked drop in visits for all those days. I can’t express how lucky we are to find her! She went above and beyond to make sure he’s doing well. Gretel always spent more time and some times even more visits within a day to make sure he’s happy. Even for urgent visits she was there in a couple of minutes! Thank you so much for everything Gretel! I strongly recommend her and will definitely book more visits with her in future!”

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and they are my world. I have a deep empathy for animal and caring for and loving them truly brings me happiness. I started caring for animals (cats & dogs) as a little girl, for friends and family. I have a bounty of experience with cats, and am also confident in caring for dogs! We have 3 cats, and a dog (Jindo-Samoyed mix who wants to be friends with every cat & dog) in our home! My husband is also experienced caring for animals, and is a pro at medication administration. I currently work full-time as an administrative assistant. I work 8:30-4:30 daily, with an hour long lunch from 12-1 where I am available to go home if needed. I live less than 5 minutes from my office. My husband works less than a minute from home, and is able to go home at any point during the day. I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly Jindo-Samoyed mix and three cats who will keep your furbabies company! We have an extra bedroom for boarding if your pet needs their own space, away from our pets, that’s fine! We do not have any children in our home, it is just my husband, our furbabies, and myself!

“My cats were very content after having Madelyn’s attention while we were away. Plus she persevered and succeeded in getting medication into one that was really tricky about it. Great peace-of-mind!”


“Emma is so great with Millie and Belle. She always goes above and beyond when looking after them. Would recommend Emma with no hesitation if you are looking for an amazing dog sitter!!”
