Trustworthy and always on time

Pet care experience

I have helped my sister, here and there, take care of neighborhood pets since I was 7. Working with all kinds of fur babies gives me so much joy!

Gretchen was great! I normally like to board my pups while I'm away but this time I opted for Gretchen to come to the house twice a day for 5 days to make sure they were stocked on food and water and were going outside. She kept me up to date and shared lots of pictures while I was gone. When I came back, my pups were well taken care of and happy. I would definitely book with her again.

Gretchen was excellent with our big family dog. She said "yes" for a job in the busiest time of year and didn't complain at all despite some really cold temperatures for the dog walks. We will use Gretchen again if the opportunity should arise.

Gretchen takes great care of the puppies. They are not stressed and so calm when we get home

Information Gretchen S. would like to know about your pet

I understand not all dogs/ cats are the same so it would be in my, and their, best interest to let me know ahead of time if your fur baby has special needs, anxiety, and or any specific feeding/ playtime rituals.

A typical day

At the end of the day, my goal is to make sure your dog/cat is healthy and happy. Barfield park has a beautiful trail and grassy areas that is safe and full of activities. I like to make sure the majority of their energy is used at the park so they will be nice and tuckered out for the evening :)
