Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Gretchen and I am a part time student! At my house right now, I have a male maltese, Karl, that is 2; and a female shih-poo, Ophelia, that is almost a year. I love running around in the yard with them, taking them to the dog park, snuggling on the couch, or sharing (unwillingly) snacks. I come from a home that had 3 German Shepherds and other small dogs. So I am used to them and everything in-between. I am open any time throughout the day. Or if there is an emergency, I can quickly stop by and check in your animals. My dogs like to hang out with other small dogs as well if your puppers needs an extra companion!

My pets are my family to me. The old one on meds, the grumpy one and the pup with turbo energy, the cats and even goats and chickens, I needed someone I trusted to love and care for each one of them for what they were. I also needed someone I could trust. I can honestly say, I was blessed when I found Gretchen. Her diverse skills in caring for my crew has made us very happy.

She was great watching my dog! Always on time and stayed late to play with him. She would take him on walks through the neighborhood. I would recommend her again to anyone.

Information Gretchen S. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog does well with others. If I am taking the dog(s) on a walk, I would like to know if they will go bonkers if they see another dog. I have no breed preference when sitting a dog. I would just like to meet them before you leave anywhere, so they can get to know me. Is there anything that the dog(s) are allergic to? Is there anything I need to look out for? Does your dog need medication?

A typical day

I like to walk around the neighborhood with the dogs. Or, there is a dog park near my house that I take my dogs to. There is a side for large and another side for small dogs. That way, they will not be in a position they do not want to be in. I have a large backyard that I run around in with my dogs.
