Pet care experience

I’ll be there for you and your dog

I’ve had a dog my entire life except for a few very lonely months in 2020 after I lost the love of my life, Romey, the naughtiest lab with the best sense of humor. I grew up with labs (mostly ) but now have Gizmo, a labrodoodle , who will soon become BDE (best dog ever) if he can finally learn how to not jump like a kangaroo when he sees his dog friends. I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was young. I’d walk, feed and love on my neighbors and friends pets. I hope I will be the one you call and who you can trust with your furry BFF. Whether you have a long day at work or a weekend vacation, I’ll be there for you!

Gretchen was incredibly responsive, supportive, & communicative — especially for a last-minute request. If I’m in the area again and need a dog sitter, I will definitely reach out; the care from her community of neighbors was incredible! I particularly appreciated their transparency & consideration for Bugs’ needs.

Gretchen has cared for my dog, Teagan, over the course of the past 3 years. He absolutely loves her, and gets very excited whenever he sees her. It is obvious that she loves animals and has a tenderheart for them by the way she gets right down to their level to pet and talk with them. She also sent pics of him when he was in her care which helped me feel better about leaving him in her care. She has been flexible when I needed last minute care or an additional day. I can reccommend Gretchen as a responsible and caring pet care giver with complete confidence due to my own wonderful experience with my dog, Teagan!
