Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog and cat and have a fenced yard. I am flexible on where to care for your pet, and in most cases it would be your home or nearby for walks.

Information Gretchen S. would like to know about your pet

I will do best if I know what things your pet likes and dislikes. Typical routines, behavior around other dogs, cats, and people. If a dog, if she/he likes or dislikes dog parks. if the pet likes to play hard or just relax. Typical commands he/she responds to best. Communication is important ahead of the pet care.

A typical day

With dogs, I will take fun walks around the neighborhood and play with them, dependent on each of their needs and pet owners instructions. For cats, I will change their litter box (if indoor cat), feed and water, and just hang out together, play if they want to play.

Gretchen has been our pet sitter and we were very satisfied with the care she provided. She had no issues with each of our pets individual needs and they all seemed relaxed and happy upon our return. I would highly recommend Gretchen as a pet and housesitter.

Gretchen house/pet sit for us for 6 days. Rocky loved her especially since he likes to go for walks, play ball and cuddle. She took good care of our home, also. I recommend Gretchen 😊

Gretchen was a house sitter for us this year through Trusted Housesitter. She took excellent care of our home and two pets, a large energic dog and a sassy cat. Gretchen was a wonderful house sitter and our pets were in great hands. She gave them tons of attention and love and they were so relaxed when we got home. She was very communicative and sent us regular updates. She took amazing care of the house and left everything cleaner than she found it. We would highly recommend Gretchen!

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.
