Let me know if your pet has any special needs and your fur babies temperament. Please let me know if there are any special instructions that would help me better serve your animals and any instructions specific to your pets needs.

A typical day

Thank you Gretchen, for taking such good care of Luna! We had no worries about Luna’s well being during our vacation. Gretchen’s home is very accommodating for her furry visitors! She was flexible and helpful and her communication was excellent while we were out! It was so sweet to see photos of my girl running and playing with her teenage son! I would definitely book again and highly recommend her!

My 3 pups (all over 13 years old) were taken care of as if they were Gretchen’s own babies. Gretchen is one in a million! My pups just loved her and she loves them. Thank you for taking the stress, anxiety and guilt away from us. They are just too old and precious to take to a boarding facility. I will forever hire Gretchen to take care of my babies.

Gretchen was great! She took excellent care of our dogs and made the whole process easy and stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter on Rover, and we will definitely be using her again in the future.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
