Pet care experience
I've been a dog owner and animal lover my whole life. At my house dogs are like family. They get good food, comfy beds, plenty of play time and lots of love and cuddles. I have trained a half a dozen puppies who all grew old and grey and welcomed a few older rescues too. I have a large one acre fully -fenced backyard with a backup invisible fence ( for those dogs already collar trained) so there's plenty of space for a romp and May- October pups can swim in my in ground pool. I have two super friendly doggies of my own who love to have visitors: a 9 year old golden retriever mix and a 2 year old Jack Russell, so your fur baby will never be lonely. I can also give a variety of medications, so if he/she's got some special needs not to worry, I've got you covered! So wether your dog likes to swim, chase squirrels or just lounge in the shade, I'll make sure he's well taken care of. If you'd like to book a stay with me, I can often accommodate last minute requests- but I do require a meet and greet prior to your first booking, so keep that in mind. I will also need you to provide your dog's food ( I've got bowls). The name and number of your vet so I can verify vaccination history, and a local contact who would be available to come and get your pet in the event there was an emergency. When your dog stays with me he/she with get plenty of attention. I'm at home almost all day, so your your dog will never be crated, isolated or turned outside and left alone unsupervised for hours. We go outside together to play several times a day, and they come in and rest just like at home. So book a stay with us today! We will send you updates that will make you wish you'd taken your vacation here too! And want to come home to your fur baby fresh and clean? For a small fee I'll give your dog a simple bath, and for more involved grooming needs I have a great relationship with a professional groomer just a few blocks from my house and I can drop your baby off and pick her up so she's all ready to come home!

Communication was great and Cooper had an awesome time :)
Jackson loved his stay with Gretchen, and she took fantastic care of him while I was out of town. He got plenty of play, cuddle time, and walks. I would definitely recommend Gretchen to anyone looking for a sitter.
Gretchen was great! She accommodated our last minute stay and helped us out with pick up plans. Pics were appreciated. It looked like Chance had a great time. Would definitely recommend. Thanks!
Gretchen was great with our dog, Cookie. He seemed like he had a great time. As soon as he came home he laid on his bed and fell asleep. Cookie evidently had a full and fun day playing at Gretchen’s house with her pets and children. I would highly recommend her if you need dog sitting or dog daycare services.

Information Gretchen K. would like to know about your pet
I will accept most breeds as long as they are well socialized, fully vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and know some basic commands. A meet and greet with my dogs is a must before any boarding. I will take intact females in heat for an additional fee because I cannot accept any male dogs at the same time. Please let me know if your dog has any guarding behaviors, issues with food, special medication needs, fear of thunderstorms or other anxious behaviors.
A typical day
Swim in the pool, play fetch in the yard, chase squirrels, drink cool water and nap in the shade....
