Pet care experience
I know the importance of leaving your fur baby in great hands, and that is what I aim to provide. My favorite activities with dogs include long walks, fetch with a tennis ball, and keep away. I have a very likeable demeanor for dogs and even connect with dogs that, according to their owners, are very timid towards people. I have raised and trained 2 golden doodles for the majority of my life. I additionally rescued three puppies from under a fox den and raised them to good health. Denali my precious 3 year old doodle is pictured in my profile picture. I have casual experience walking and taking dogs out, as well as special stays with the dog while the owner is out of town. I promise to be patient, gentle, and thorough when hanging out with your pup! I I enjoy getting to know dogs just as I enjoy getting to know people. The best part of my morning is getting up and saying hello to my dog, she makes me so happy! I am physically fit and can walk as long as needed. Additionally, I have a reliable form of transportation.
Reviews
Gretchen did such a fabulous job taking my dog for daily walks. She was kind and fun and instantly bonded with my dog who LOVES her. Gretchen was even willing to walk my dog during a tropical storm, so she really goes above and beyond! I completely trust her to take good care of my baby.
Gretchen will be your pets BFF!! From the moment she walked in our door, the bond between our Ellie (bullmastiff) and Gretchen was undeniable! I'm not sure who loves who more! Gretchen is amazing with dogs of all sizes and breeds and loves them like her own. She is honest, trustworthy, dedicated and most importantly reliable. My calls to Gretchen are often last minute and she never lets us down! I even get pictures of them playing ball AFTER she cared for her. If you are looking for someone to love and care for your pet like you would, you will not be disappointed!
Gretchen is kind and responsible, and trustworthy. My dogs love her and she takes her time on walks to make sure that they have ample time outside. I would recommend her to anyone!

I don’t discriminate dog breeds. As long as they are civilized they are perfect in all shapes and sizes. Rescue dogs welcome! I know the extra upkeep it may take when having an adopted dog due to personality differences from trauma, but I am very good at dealing with dogs from that situation.
A typical day
I live in a low-key residential neighborhood with great walking loops of different distances. There is also a massive park less than half a mile from me where I often take my dog to play ball. If your fur baby gets dirty during our time together, I can assure that you will come back to a squeaky clean pup.
