Information Gretchen P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs and I will be happy to oblige if I feel it is something I am comfortable handling!

A typical day

As a dog sitter, ensuring both the dog's well-being and enjoyment is key. I'd plan engaging activities like interactive play sessions with toys, refreshing walks in different environments to stimulate curiosity, and perhaps some basic training exercises to keep their mind sharp. Additionally, lots of affectionate attention and maybe even some tasty treats for good behavior would round out the day. Each dog has its own personality, so tailoring activities to their preferences ensures a happy and fulfilled pup!

Pets

I love my fur babies!

Pet care experience

My pet care experience is distinguished by a lifelong passion for animals, particularly cats and dogs, which I've raised since a young age. This deep-rooted connection has given me an intuitive understanding of their behavior and needs. I pride myself on creating a nurturing environment where pets feel secure and loved. Whether it's administering medications, handling grooming needs, or simply providing companionship, I approach every pet with attentiveness and genuine affection. This dedication ensures that each furry friend in my care receives personalized attention and a happy, healthy experience.

Sky had the best time with Gretchen - lots of exercise and playtime plus a fun ride in the back of the bronco 🛻- she almost didn’t want to leave her new friends:) We will definitely reach out again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
