Do you ever get the feeling that dogs just know that certain humans are going to be safe, loving and fun to be around? Well it seems like I am one of those humans! Dogs are just drawn to me and me to them. My name is Gretchen and I LOVE dogs! I have been loving on, caring for and playing with dogs for my entire life. Of course I have cared for my own dogs from a very early age. But I have also treasured times over the years caring for and looking after the fur babies of several of my friends and family members. My experience has mainly been with larger breed dogs like Rottweilers, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Dalmatians. However I have a lot of practice with the smaller breed dogs (Cocker Spaniels and Pugs) just the same. I work full-time remotely from my home in Lakeland Hills which of-furs me the flexibility and time to care for your pets while you're away. I would love to drop-in to check on your dog, grab the leash and take them for a walk on one of the many trails around the neighborhood. My children are grown (one away at college, the other a sophomore at Auburn Riverside) and we no longer have a dog around after having to put our sweet boy down this past February. Our home is smoke-free with a fully fenced backyard ready to accommodate day-time visits or weekend sleepovers. Your fur baby will have the run of the house! As you can imagine, we all really miss our old man Golden Retriever - Kona. Walking, playing with and caring for other dogs will definitely help in the healing process of the loss of our sweet boy. I would love the opportunity to meet your fur babies and hopefully make a new best friend.
