I believe dogs are family members.

Pet care experience

I have been fostering dogs with Midwest Animal Rescue for 6 year and I am also approved for Upper Midwest Great Danes. I am currently in school for a Ph.D. in Animal Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation. I treat all pets with respect and I provide what they need. Just like people they require different things. The most important thing about dog sitting is making sure the pet is comfortable as they can be away from their family. All their needs will be met.

Gretchen's love for animals is one of a kind. I have never met anyone who cares so much for her and other's animals. We have had Gretchen watch our dog when we were traveling and never have to worry about a thing. They are more spoiled with her then they are when they are home with us. I definitely recommend Gretchen for any dog sitting needs.

Information Gretchen J. would like to know about your pet

I love all breeds however, I do best with less active breeds. I do not exercise a lot so if you need a home where they need that stimulation my home is not the best. We love dogs that love to chill.

A typical day

We will take dogs who need exercise on walks, short runs or to the dog park. i have 2 dogs at home who do not need to be walked daily (pugs) and one that does!
