Caring for pets & homes since 2017
Pet care experience
I have 6 years of experience caring for client's homes and pets, and a lifetime of experience living with and caring for dogs. I've worked with diabetic cats, dogs with Megaesophagus, and ferrets with attitude to name a few. I'm comfortable caring for animals with unique needs, but you know them best! I will do a quick visit at no cost to meet you and your pet(s) and have you walk me through their care routine. I like to spend quality time with the animals I care for and for extended stays with your animal, we can review my work schedule together to find the right plan for appropriate visits throughout the day. I will send you updates/pictures daily while you're away from home.
Reviews
Amazing and considerate sitter! We have complete trust when she watches our dogs! Not easy to watch two 70 pound 2 year olds but she has kept them on their toes! She send pictures and regular updates! Very thoughtful house sitter, we highly recommend Gretchen and will definitely book again!
Gretchen cares for pets as they are hers. She is so reliable and I recommend! 💯
Gretchen did a meet and greet with the boys Friday and 2 days later she came for a drop in. She remembered our guidance and the boys loved you! She played fetch and tired them out! Very confident in her ability to handle the boys!
Gretchen was great! She sent us regular pictures and updates of our dogs. One of our dogs is special needs (megaesophagus) and Gretchen was able to handle her needs while we were out of town.

Safety, trust & environment
I want to take care of a clients home like it's my own. To me that means keeping things clean and tidy, and dangerous/off limits items out of reach of your pets. It's important to me to understand your pets' typical routine so I can closely mirror what you do with them each day.
Information Gretchen L. would like to know about your pet
I'm happy to sit for dogs and cats with various medical needs or behavioral concerns, the important thing is that you let me know! I can work with just about any need, so long as we're on the same page.
A typical day
Whether your dog likes to tear around the backyard, play with toys, or spend time cuddling on the couch, I can make it happen. I want your pets to be as comfortable as possible, so anything to keep them in their normal routine is what I want to do!
