I love to love and care Fur Babies!

Pet care experience

I have been grateful to care for other pets on Rover since May. I have taken care of friends and families pets throughout the years.I. Been a fur baby mom to a wonderful dog and cat and fully understand how wonderful they are and need to be loved when your away. I was the one with separation anxiety when I would have to travel without them. I want to alleviate that for you. I recently had to let my 19 year old shih tzu cross over the rainbow bridge. Being a senior with a heart murmur and bad hips. I learned how to adjust to his needs. Carrying him up and down the stairs, up and down to the bed and walks with a pet stroller to help him with his quality of life. Not once do I regret that and would help any pet feel that love again.

Gretchen is amazing! We have a senior pug with health issues and Gretchen went above and beyond to make sure our little guy was taken care of. She also sent us a lot of pictures and updates, which helped put our minds at ease. We have used her two times and will definitely use her again!

Gretchen was great. She gave me daily updates and sent pics. I will definitely call her in the future when we need our pup taken care of.

Gretchen did a fantastic job caring for our pug. He has limited mobility and she went above and beyond to care for him and his needs. I would definitely recommend her as a dog sitter. She truly cares about your pet.
