Dog lover, fenced yard & dog door

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs. I have had two of my own dogs as a adult both of which have moved on due to old age. I live 10 minutes from the Oakland hills and know both on leash and off leash trails like the back of my hand. I enjoy walking with the pups in nature and often am asked to dog sit by friends. I have a secure fenced yard with doggie door so your dog always has access to the yard if you are okay with that. My house is very pet friendly and quiet. There are no other pets, people or children in my home.

Gretchen took great care of our two dogs plus all of our plants and our house!! Our dogs love her and she’s quick to response to all messages. Gretchen stayed at our place for two weeks while we were traveling, we came back to a clean house and happy dogs. Will definitely rebook with her again!

Gretchen was super accommodating to my early morning flight and she was great with my dog Akira! She sent really nice updates showing all the fun she abs Akira were having together. I would definitely recommend Gretchen for dog sitting!

Information gretchen l. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or is reactive to certain stimulators, such as motorcycles, other dogs or small children. Of course dietary information is crucial as well as any scheduling specifics. I don't have a breed preference.

A typical day

I love to take dog's up to the hills for hikes, on or off leash. Point Isabel or Lake Merritt are wonderful walks for the right pups as well.
