Zoey had a great time with Gretchen, and Gretchen sent lots of pictures to show me all the fun Zoey was having!

Gretchen is timely, kind and very helpful! Sends multiple messages and photos of my cat Bella. She is also very accommodating with my CH kitty (cerebella hypoplasia) and helps her with her unique litter box situation. She definitely makes me feel calm, knowing my cat is in great hands when I’m on vacation! Highly recommend.

Would recommend Gretchen. Received updates and pictures during our dog Nellie's day stay and was flexible with the timing of dropoff/pickup. She has a sweet dog that got along with our's well and Nellie got to walk and explore.

Gretchen is clearly very dedicated to making sure pets in her care are happy and having a good time. I felt very comfortable about leaving Zoey with her. She stayed in touch, sending pictures and updates regularly. I will definitely ask her to watch Zoey again.

Safety, trust & environment

I always use hands-free leashes for safety and security. I have a friendly dog who will keep your fur baby(s) company and feel welcome! I can easily crate your pet(s) if needed. I will need to do meet and greets beforehand to ensure it's a good fit for everyone. I hope this is ok with you. This applies to new, prospective clients only.

This would depend on what your pet(s) likes to do and enjoys. Daily walks, games, etc. This will be one of my questions at our meet and greet.
