Friendly & responsible dog lover ❤️

Pet care experience

I had a yellow lab for 15 amazing years. I’ve babysat for many different breeds for many years. My 11 year old son and I don’t currently have our own dog, so we’d love to take care of yours! ❤️

Gretchen is amazing!! We hired her to watch our animals at our house for our wedding, and she made us feel so comforted that our animals were in good hands so we had one less thing to worry about during our wedding weekend. She sent us frequently but brief check-ins with pictures to give us that peace of mind. She was more than willing to exercise our dog for many walks. Another thing that Gretchen did for us that was above and beyond was that our catered breakfast on our wedding day accidentally got delivered to our house where she was staying instead of to our hotel. The delivery driver was going to throw away all of the food because he didn’t know where to bring it and Gretchen stopped him and saved all the food and then notified me about the situation. We were able to come to get the food from her and have our breakfast as planned. She helped save our wedding day from very cranky and hungry groomsmen!

Gretchen was absolutely amazing. This was our first time using Rover and she exceeded all of our expectations. We did a meet and greet at my house with my dog Tanner about a week before we needed her. She sent me pictures throughout the day of my dog and was an excellent communicator; it made me feel at ease and so comfortable. Once we came back home, it was like she hadn’t even stayed there - left everything in perfect condition and was so clean. We can’t wait to use her again in the future! Thank you Gretchen! Tanner loved you and your son!

Gretchen was THE ABSOLUTE BEST! I have a very anxious dog, and she was so caring and nurturing when we were away. Knows how to deal with quirks and makes an effort to keep them happy. She also keeps your mind at ease- sending messages and pictures while away. I cannot recommend her enough- will definitely book again :) thank you, thank you Gretchen!!!

We have worked with several people on Rover and Gretchen is by far our favorite. She takes excellent care of our pets and the house, is a great communicator and very pleasant to work with.

I have tons of energy and enjoy long walks if they do! I’m also patient if they need time getting their business done, or love just snuggling if they don’t like long walks. Chill, low-maintenance dogs are best since I’ll be bringing them to work on weekdays.

Information Gretchen T. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your dog pulls or lunges at other dogs or people. If they do, please have a “gentle-leader” collar and a high-quality leash.

A typical day

I love being outside so if your dog is not a great walker, fetch in the backyard is cool—anything to get us both some exercise.

I live in New Hope and work in Maple Grove. Your dog needs to be able to come to work with me—he/she is very welcome there! I will make a cozy spot by my desk—we can take potty breaks no problem, but our long walk will have to wait until after work 😊
