A typical day

With dogs, I love to let them explore, sniff, and I will even run around with them if they need to get energy out. With cats, I love to sit with them and give lots of pets, and play with them as much as they desire.

Pet care experience

My family has owned dogs since before I was born, so I grew up around them. I was a long time caregiver for my neighbors’ Bernese mountain dogs from an early age, and they relied on me for walks every day as well as taking care of them when they went on vacation. I’ll take great care of your dogs as well.

Fantastic. My pup couldn’t be happier while I was away. 10/10!

Gretchen took amazing care of my cat, Dory, while I was away for 5 days! I got updates and photos after every visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. She went above and beyond with the litter box, fresh water, driving to me, and taking the trash out before I got home. Couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!

Gretchen has been great with both of our dogs! She has taken them on multiple walks and done check ins and we are able to tell how much happier they are when they see her while we’re at work.
