Safety, trust & environment

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.

Information Gretchen S. would like to know about your pet

I'll need to know their schedules for food, meds, walks, etc. Plus any potential things to avoid when it comes to their care -- fears, dislikes, etc.

A typical day

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.

Pet care experience

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.

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 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!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
