Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets should be treated like family!
Hey there-My name is Gretchen, and I have been caring for pets ever since I was old enough to help with my own family dog growing up. My love for animals has only grown stronger with each passing year, so I've set out to help give families with furbabies "peace of mind" care fort vacations, day trips, etc. I've cared for all types of pets such as dogs, cats, bunnies, fish, chickens, and even turkeys!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I believe our pets are part of our families, so I strive to provide attentive care which can include sticking to feeding plans, medication distribution, walks/exercise, potty breaks, lots of love, and plenty of photo updates for the parents! To ensure as much ease for the pet, I offer to stay at their home. I believe it helps minimize the stress a new experience can cause by having all their comfort spaces/items readily available. It's not easy leaving our pets, but I can promise you that your pet will be in great care :)
Ratings and reviews
Gretchen was amazing across the board! Extremely friendly and professional, and she took the best care of my house and my older dog while I was gone for an extended weekend. Highly recommend 🫶
Gretchen spoiled my babies and took amazing care of them! I will not be hesitating to ask her to stay with them again! Thank you Gretchen!
Gretchen was great! She kept us updated frequently and sent many pictures of our dogs throughout the stay. She took great care of them and they were very happy. This was the first time we left them with someone other than friends or family and Gretchen really made us feel comfortable and eased our minds.
Gretchen is the best dog sitter I have ever had. She keeps us informed with pictures and comments about the pups day. She goes above and beyond for me and my dogs. I highly recommend her! It's so nice to feel confident the dogs are being well taken care of. She also takes care of the house too. She has shoveled and taken the mail in. My dogs can be stressed at times but I know they are in great hands. Thanks Gretchen!!
Gretchen is the best! She helped us out on very short notice over a holiday week with no hassle. Our dogs were loved on and well taken care of while we were gone. Gretchen is very trustworthy and kind,
I have known Gretchen for years, and shes always loved my pets almost as much as she loves her own! She is amazing at following directions, and keeping your animals safe. (Especially dogs that are more difficult) and she still would do anything for my big boy. I would recommend Gretchen to anyone who needed help with their fur babies, even some farm animals as well… she loves them all!

Schedule
This is a second job for me, and my main position at the McHenry Hospital overnight. My shifts are a typical 8 hour workday(night) from 11pm-730am. During caring for your pet though, my priority is to be flexible with my schedule so your pet can stick to their routine and get the exact care the need!
