Pet care experience

I have been taking care of dogs since I was able to! My family has always had dogs which were small to medium sized. When I got my own place I decided I love dogs so much I needed one of every shape and size. I have 3 dogs of all different needs. From happy go lucky to a little more anxious and scared. I love taking walks and exploring new area or old areas with dogs and I love to play with them! I’ve loved dogs from a young age and even more now. I think I might love them more than people some times!

If you're looking for someone who loves animals and goes above and beyond to care for them look no further. She has 3 dogs of her own that are very well taken care of. Her love for animals is not limited to them though. She has a plethora of love to give to any animal she meets. If you're looking for someone who will go above and beyond to care for your animals then Gretchen is the one.

We met Gretchen a week ago, Shon liked her from their first walk! She is very nice, she cares about how our dog will feel from the begining because she loves dogs, which makes her the right person for dogsitting. She is reliable and responsible, she came every morning and took Shon out for about an hour to explore the neigborhood, while bringing him home happy and hungry enough :) So we are lucky to have her! I would defenetaly recommend her as a dog sitter!!!

I've known Gretchen for many years. She is caring, trustworthy and responsible. She loves dogs and has 3 of her own that love her to pieces. She has taken care of our family dog that absolutely adores her. Without a doubt, she will treat your dog with kindness like if they were her own!
