Highlights
Pet care experience
Doggy retreat
Hello! I have been house sitting around the Tri-Cities for the last 8 years officially, but have helped care for animals of friends since I can remember. I have been around, owned, and cared for animals of all types including exotics and large live stock. We are a very active family encouraging responsibility in our kids as they will often be present in animal visits or walks. ( there will be no expectation of them to complete tasks for the care of your animal, that is my job. ) Your animal would receive exceptional, attentive care and I am happy to provide photo updates thru your time away from your animal(s). If dogs were to come to my house, they would need to get along with kids as well as other animals. Thank you for considering me :) I have multiple references from people who have hired me as a house sitter in past years I can provide upon request.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Gretchen is amazing. We have used her a few times to watch our grand dog, Charlie. Her, her kids and their puppies are all so kind to Charlie. Charlie loves going and playing with their pups. She loves to swim too. Thanks so much Gretchen!
They're always happy to go to their home and have a great time.
Our dogs are so happy to stay at her home.
Gretchen was fabulous!! Very accommodating to our schedule and any requests I had. Lots of yard to run in! Our daughters chocolate lab had a fantastic time and would come home and crash! Will definitely use again and highly recommend!!
The dogs are very happy with her family, very thankful they provide this service.
Dogs love them, they are a great family, always very thankful when they take care of our dogs.

Schedule
I do not have scheduling restrictions. I can provide as much or as little exercise or attention your furry friend requires to keep them happy and send you photos to keep you updated
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced yard with sections to provide safe play for your animals. We have 2 dogs of our own that are always ready for a play date and a snuggle on the couch after. Your animal could join in on the fun, or if your animal appreciates 1:1 attention, they do not have to interact with my animals and we would give them turns in the house.
Pets
A typical day
We often hike badger and candy mountain if your dog is up for it or walks around the neighborhood if they enjoy/require the exercise. They would have the opportunity to interact with my dogs if they desired and would not lack any attention as my family is all animal lovers.
