Information Gretchen P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs or requests your pup may have. I am happy to accommodate. I want your dog to feel comfortable and have a blast in my home until you are.

A typical day

I live near a beautiful safe park. If walks or rides are you pup's thing, I am happy to accommodate. My large fenced in yard will be great for lots of exercise. If you pup is a senior, I'm happy lounging on the deck or on the couch.

Pet care experience

I have had animals since my junior year of college. I have had 7 kitties over the years all that were rescues. Jake, Nixon, Honey, Cole, Bananas, Mindie and Camdyn. I lost my beloved pup Elliott 3 years ago. She was a lab mix that I adopted when she was 4 months old from the local pound. She lived to be 15 years old and I miss her tremendously. She passed away in 2018. I am currently pet less. Anyone who knows me can tell you how much I loved my animals. I used to call them my little chickens. LOL. I eventually will get another dog but I'm just not ready yet. I thought this would be a wonderful time to care for your little chickens. I am currently a full-time outside sales territory manager. My office is in my home, but I do travel out daily locally to see customers. My schedule is flexible. I live alone and have no children or animals. I have had animals my whole adult life up until I lost my last cat this past year. I have a large fenced in yard and I am familiar with crate training. I also have worked for a veterinarian hospital in the past. Two years full time and several part time in the evenings. I am extremely loving and would take care of your babies as if they were my own.

Gretchen takes great care of our sweet weenie dog and always makes sure to send us photo updates while we’re away. I highly recommend her services!

Gretchen was excellent with Prince and very communicative throughout the week Prince stayed with her. Prince is not used to being boarded and Gretchen was very patient with his adjustment period. We greatly appreciated how she treated Prince as if he was her own and he will most definitely be back when we need boarding service in the future!
