Our dogs felt very comfortable around Gretchen. She sent pics to show how they surrounded her. She followed instructions for each dog and made sure they were well taken care of. We are using her again soon!

"I can't say enough good things about Gretchen, Cooper's dog walker. She is reliable and always shows up on time. Cooper gets so excited when he sees her—his tail starts wagging the moment she arrives, and it’s clear how much he enjoys his walks with her. What I really appreciate is how kind and patient she is with our 15-year-old dog, who doesn't go on the walks anymore because of her health. Gretchen always takes the time to say hello and make her feel special. We feel so lucky to have her as part of Cooper’s routine and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker."
