Highlights
Pet care experience
Professional Ear Scratcher
I am a pet lover with four dogs in my own household. I enjoy the flexibility of being self-employed as an online reseller, which allows me to take care of others' pets while they travel. I know how important it is to know your fur babies are happy and safe while you are on your own adventures. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I can care for senior pets, as well as young kittens and puppies. I can work with most feeding, potty and play schedules. Before we book, I will suggest a meet and greet to make sure your pets and I are a good fit and that you are comfortable with me as well. I'm currently not able to take dogs on walks due to some knee and back issues, but I will play with them in the yard and house to ensure they get out some energy.

Ratings and reviews
Gretchen is fabulous and our dog Frankie loves her. She spoils Frankie and does a great job keeping her entertained. She sends great updates and takes care of everything while we’re away.
Gretchen was amazing! She stayed with our girl for a week. Super attentive and very patient with Chloe. Great communication with tons of photos. I highly recommend!
Gretchen was so sweet with our fur babies and took amazing care of them. Our plans changed and she very kindly re-worked her schedule to help us out — a life-saver!!! The pups (and we!) look forward to her sitting for us next time :)
Gretchen did a fabulous job taking care of our two senior dogs for several days at our home. I’m so glad we found her! She is extremely caring and understood exactly how to handle them. She is a great communicator and kept us up to date with how things were going. She sent us several pictures along the way too! I highly recommend her!
Gretchen was so loving and caring with our dog, Pepper, during her last stay here. She updated me daily with pictures, and addressed any questions or concerns she had promptly. She stayed at our house for 4 nights, and left the house neat and tidy, even washing the linens before she left. Its hard to leave our 13-yr old lab any time we travel, but we took comfort knowing she was being well cared for by Gretchen while we were gone!
Gretchen stayed at our home with our two Maltese. When we came home after 5 days they went looking for her which is a good sign they had a good time with her. She updated us daily and left a summary of her stay. I certainly will use Gretchen again when we go out of town I felt so comfortable with her being there.

I know that animals are happiest when in their own homes and will work within their familiar routines so they are happy and secure while you are away.

Although I'm currently not able to walk dogs due to some knee and back issues, I will play with them in the yard and house to ensure they get out some energy.
