Lover of all pets

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my entire life. I have experience in caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds and cats with specific needs. I can care for your dog at your place or mine. I live in an apartment with a dog park and pet spa so he/she can go home smelling good after a long day playing and going for walks. I have 2 cats of my own, they get lots of love and are my world, your pet would be treated the same way. I will take amazing care of your pet, they will be missing me when I'm not caring for them. I currently am available everyday with the exception of limited Sundays. I can care for dogs in your home or mine depending on how your dog gets along with other animals (cats) and all other animals will be cared for in their home with trips to the dog park etc... I have 2 cats that love friendly dogs. They can be crated or roam freely at nite and sleep in bed with me, if they are being boarded. I will follow all instructions on caring for your pet if they have special needs. I will keep dogs on a leash when walking them and keep fresh water and plenty of food available for them at all times.

Gretchen took great care of our kitty Stella for a week- sent lots of photos and gave her lots of attention. I felt very comfortable knowing she was watching Stella.

She was SO good with Max! We were so happy with her. She sent videos and pictures throughout the day. I would most definitely use her again!

Information Gretchen K. would like to know about your pet

Your pet will be cared for with love and compassion when I watch them. You will receive pictures/videos, chats, whatever you would like to receive to ensure their safety and happiness. Just let me know, I’ll be happy to make you and your pet feel at ease during the time away from each other

A typical day

My neighborhood is very dog/cat friendly so lots of walks around the neighborhood, lakes and of course the dog parks. I will take them places if their social skills need improvement and will work on their obedience if that’s the case. Toys and other enrichment activities will be part of the day as well, as some pets need more stimulation than others.
