Large fenced yard love walking pups

Pet care experience

I live in a home with a large fenced yard with my Husband, Chris. We are available on the weekends mainly, on some weekdays, and some holidays. I was raised on a farm and know a lot about animals, especially dogs. We had horses, cows, cats, fish, pigs, donkeys, and of course dogs. We have two dogs of our own, one an elderly Rat Terrier (14 years old), and one an adopted Labrador/Pit Bull mix (4 years old) that is the sweetest dog on earth. They are both female and spayed. Knowing the value of consistency and a good walk is my special skill. Please feel free to contact me anytime regarding the needs of your pet. I will even send you photos and updates of your pup while you are away!

Gretchen and her husband were great to my pup Mango. They sent periodic updates and pictures and were very flexible with drop off and pick up. Definitely will be my first choice whenever I need a sitter for Mango. Cheers

Gretchen gave me updates a couple times a day & photos each time (which is great for a crazy dog mom like me!). She made me feel like they were safe & having fun for the weekend they were with her. Her two dogs even let them feel like part of the pack. Would def book with her again!

They were great and did a wonderful job keeping Remi's anxiety down during a big thunderstorm. Super flexible and their dogs were the sweetest! My dog seemed very happy the whole time!

Riggs’ stay with Gretchen went really well. She took great care of our senior dog and kept me updated regularly with pictures. Definitely would recommend her to care your fur family.

Walks, and yard fun! If the dog is a running dog, I will run with the dog.
