Pet care experience

Just like grandparents, we'll spoil them enough, then give them back to you.My husband and I are dog people. We’ve owned many breeds of dogs from Yorkie's to Shepherds. We also owned/ managed a horse farm and cared for 20 show horses for several years, in the Tampa Bay Area. Now, we find we have lots of free time. Both of us are retired career professionals and have relocated to Cumming, Georgia to be closer to our family. We are both in excellent health and are very active. We love the companionship of animals, especially dogs. But do not have any dog/family members at this time. We want to earn some additional income and feel this would be a perfect way to accomplish that. We learned many years ago that you do your best when you are doing something you love!

I couldn’t be more thankful to have had Gretchen and Marc watch my dog Indy while we were on vacation. I knew it had been a great stay when I picked her up and she was in no hurry to get in the car and she was still bugging them for pets before leaving! Gretchen and Marc kept me updated throughout our trip and I loved getting pictures of her during her 11 day staycation. I would not hesitate to leave her in their care any time. Indy obviously felt right at home with them!

Gretchen and Marc are the best! They took such great care of our dog for almost two weeks, and we felt completely at ease the entire time we were away. They sent us regular updates and photos. We are so grateful for the excellent care they provided and have already booked with them again. Highly recommend!

Our time away from home for family vacations are always the best because we can leave our babies with Marc and Gretchen. We don’t plan our trips unless we know they will stay with them. So grateful for the care, love and amount of spoiling they give to our Chloe and Mickey! Simply the Best!
