Information Gretchen K. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any specific needs. If there is anything specific I should watch out for while caring for your pet would love to know!

A typical day

I’ll vary activities depending on your dogs likes and needs. Does your dog love playing catch? Then we’ll go to the park and throw a ball. For for a hiker, we can go for a hike. I’ll proved tons of love and attention.

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Gretchen! I’ve always loved animals and three years ago I got my own dog, the cutest Sunny. Since then I’ve cared for our dog and watched many others. At our house your dog would get at least one long walk a day (a minimum of two miles), excellent attention throughout day (I work from home) a fun home environment (lots of playing) and tons of snuggles.
