Dogs are Family
Pet care experience
I have 20 yrs experience with animals of all kinds and have worked for a Veterinarian. I also have a couple on call if need be! So while you are away, bring your baby to a place where they feel like they are at home! No cages or formal dog runs!! No wondering if they are getting what they need or deserve. I have seen first hand how cold these places can be. I have seen dogs not eat, hold their potty, and be depressed because they are in a cold run for a week while their owner is away. This is why I started doing this. They do much better and thrive in a loving, affectionate, playful environment that feels like home!! If they sleep with you, eat with you, ride with you, etc, they will with me as well!! You will even receive pictures and updates while you are away on vacation, business, or emergencies. I am also available for the holidays or any other time. If there are multiple dogs from different families here at once and you are not comfortable with them interacting, there is plenty of room so that they do not come in contact. Same goes for my dogs and other animals. This business is about giving you peace of mind while you are away. I will honor your feelings and request to the best of my ability. I work at an animal shelter and do have experience with reading dogs body language, behavior, etc, but none of that matters if you are not comfortable with interaction. I have references if you would like to talk to some of my clients.
Reviews
Gretchen was super sweet and got to know all the goofy parts of my pup’s personality! There were more animals in her home than we expected but she did a fantastic job integrating my dog into her furry family.
Our dogs did very well with Gretchen. We have 2 polar opposites and she did well attending to both personalities. Nakita loved staying busy with her young Danes, the kids and pet pig. My old guy did well just chilling. Gretchen does well with dealing with each dogs personality and specific needs. I know they are cared for and get plenty of attention when they stay with her.
Helped our puppy get used to other dogs and was an overall wonderful host to the puppy! Definitely reccommend her to take care of your furry friend

Information Gretchen L. would like to know about your pet
I don't have a preference in breed. Every one is unique and has their quirks. This is what makes them awesome! Things I like to know in advance are things they don't like or may upset them, how they are with children, other dogs, cats, if they are house broken, chewers, crate trained, just a little briefing on them to make their transition and time with me as easy for them as possible! None of the things I listed are deal breakers, but if I know what I'm dealing with, life is easier on your baby and I both!!
A typical day
I live on a horseshoe road, so a walk around the block is no problem! The rooms in my house are large and have plenty of room for fetch or tug of war or whatever other games your pup enjoys!! Cuddling is always an option also if that's what they prefer!!
