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 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!

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.
