Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Gretchen! I cannot wait to spoil and pamper your dog. I share my home with my Husband, my 3 children, and my Welsh Corgi, Timer. I have been a dog lover since age 10 when I had my first Welsh Corgi, Wiley. I enjoy taking dogs hiking, fishing, swimming at the beach, and to dog parks to play. Your dog would be safe and nurtured while in my home. I will follow your instructions very carefully on the care of your dog(s), I am very well organized and I pay great attention to detail. Because I am Home Full Time, I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he/she deserves while staying with me. My home near Jesuit High School is pet friendly and safe. My yard is fully fenced-in and secure. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay. It is $45.00. For day care, the price is $40.00/day (roughly 8-9 hours). Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met face-to-face and my home has been inspected. Please contact me because I'm really looking forward to meeting you and your dog and providing you with peace of mind when you need to be away from your pet. Why I love dog sitting For as long as I can remember! Dogs have always been an important part of my life, since my first dog. Meet my pets I have an 11 year old Welsh Corgi, Timer, who enjoys sleeping all day in the back yard. (I do have a Granny Suite that if needed I can separate dogs.) About my yard My yard is fully fenced and grassy, and it is a great place to play! My experience administering medication Yes, I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications. For injections there will be an extra charge of $5.

Gretchen was very responsive and well prepared, asking thorough questions, making me feel really confident and comfortable with her expertise. She updated me regularly and I could tell my dog had a lot of fun with her and her family! I wouldn't hesitate in booking her again.

Gretchen took great care of our little Casper. It was great to get photo updates every day while we were on a week long trip. We really felt he was being well taken care of which made our trip easier having to leave him behind.

Gretchen is outstanding! She communicates well and in a timely manner. She is very organized which makes the drop off and pick up go smoothly. She sent regular texts and photos which gave me peace of mind that my pup was happy & healthy. She is very caring and has a lovely home and family. I recommend her highly.

Our first experience leaving our puppy was with Gretchen and everything went GREAT! Lots of photos of our happy dog having fun and being doted on by the family. Would definitely use Gretchen again.
