I’d love to meet your pups!!

Pet care experience

Hello friends! Welcome to my page. I have been an active Rover-er since moving to Sacramento in 2022. I’ve LOVED bonding, playing, and cuddling with your furry friends. I give your animals lots of attention so you can travel worry-free. I book for all sorts of pets, so do not hesitate to reach out!! I have experience with senior dogs & cats, as well as those freshly hatched. I can administer medication and special care as needed. My remote work makes it easy for me to give your pets the attention and care they need throughout the day, and I have a car in case they enjoy field trips. Feel free to message me with any specific questions :)

I have booked with Gretchen twice, once for house sitting and once for drop in visits. She has been great!

Gretchen took great care of my dogs while I was out of town! I’ll definitely rebook in the future and recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy person to look after their pets & home.

Gretchen is the best! I would 100% recommend her and use her again. She really bonded with my dog, followed my instructions to a T, left my house spotless and checked in with me daily with pictures and updates about our pup! My dog is a rescue and I was worried about leaving her for this long (first time away from her so long) but I was really assured by Gretchen’s updates. I was able to really enjoy my vacation more knowing my dog was in such good hands. You definitely want to book Gretchen!

I love to go on hikes and nature walks and would love your companion to join me if they are able! I cater all physical activity to the needs of the animal and will make sure they are active within their capacity. I also make my own toys that will engage your pets mental stimulation!

This schedule is optimal for pet sitting and housesitting because I am able to care for your pet during working hours. I also have my own car so traveling to your home is easy and accessible.
