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.
