Information Gretchen & Tim H. would like to know about your pet

We’d like to understand any special considerations about your pup that would impact how we keep your dog and our home safe when we leave your dog alone (which we’ll do when we run errands or dine out, etc.).

A typical day

Long walks around the neighborhood, ball tossing, and rounds of hide and seek. I’m also happy to take your pup to a dog park if you have a regular haunt.

Your Dog’s Second Home!

Pet care experience

My husband and I love dogs and adore sharing our days and our home with furry pals. I work from home and Tim is retired, so you can be sure your dog will have lots of company and attention throughout the day. We lost our fourteen-year-old Portuguese Water Dog in 2020 and while we’re not ready to bring home a new family member, we would be honored and delighted to shower your fur baby with lots of love and cuddles! Prior to our Portie, we had a Labrador Retriever who was a constant companion until she was thirteen. We are a dog family through and through and will treat your dog like a member of our household.

Gretchen and Tim were Wonderful Hosts for Naruto and Myself. Great initial greeting, very nice accomodations, appropriate cpl updates for an overnight, excellent overall communication and experience for Us. They were genuinely engaged in the Rover Stay. I would definitely recommend them and would go again. John Shaw

Gretchen and Tim were amazing sitters for Reggie while I was on vacation. They took such great care of him and sent lots of updates! He got so much TLC and felt very at home with them ❤️ I’m so grateful I found them!

Gretchen and Tim were wonderful with Sam, our Goldendoodle. Photos and updates were sent often and they kept him busy. Sam is known for not eating when we’re gone so imagine our surprise when he heard he was eating!! Our Sam is a member of the family and I would highly recommend Gretchen and Tim!

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.
