Pet First Aid Trained Caregiver

Pet care experience

I studied animal science with a focus on dogs for four years in high school. I have also cared for my own dogs for my entire life. I am a caring and energetic person who loves all furry friends! While in high school I was certified as a veterinary assistant. Not only do I love animals like most sitters, but unlike most sitters I am trained to take care of animals in medical settings. I am a college student at UCONN and my schedule is decently flexible so I can make house visits during the day as needed. I am also a very active person so I would put a lot of care and effort into walking and hiking to give your dogs the exercise they need!

Gretchen was a great choice for our pups Coco and Lala. We contacted Gretchen to house sit the dogs for us and we are so glad we did. The dogs liked her right away and it was clear she is a dog lover. Will definitely contact Gretchen in the future and happy to recommend her to anyone.

Any dog or human who doesn’t love Gretchen just hasn’t spent time with her! Gretchen is fun and patient with my dog, who absolutely adores her, as do I!

Gretchen is a very caring woman who takes pride in everything she does. I have personally trusted her to care for my precious dogs. She is loving, patient, and very good with all my dogs. She treats them all with loving and tender care. She is familiar with many types of animals. I would personally recommend Gretchen to anyone seeking a caretaker for their animal.
