Gretchen is one of the best dog sitters/walkers I’ve ever had! She has a dog of her own that she loves more than anything and she spreads that love to my own. I have two German Shepherds who are fiercely loyal and loving but also have anxiety around new people and new situations. When we moved to our new home their anxiety intensified. Gretchen came over and spent extra time with them until they warmed up to her and made them comfortable. She’s extremely patient and kind toward my boys and they quickly loved her! She always goes above and beyond (my dogs wouldn’t eat very much during the transition to our new home and she made them eggs which they loved! And it helped me get them to start eating again). She has been such a blessing to us and we have become great friends! I trust her completely with my dogs (whom I love more than most people ;) Gretchen is reliable, responsible and goes above and beyond. She will take excellent care of your pet!
