Just an animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Gretchen and I'm an animal lover. I would love to have a 1,000 animals but since I can't I would love to take care of yours. I come from Puerto Rico and I lived in the countryside. Because of this I’ve taken care of every kind of animal you can imagine since I was 8yrs old. I've rescued a bunch including birds, hamsters, cats, dogs and I even had a pet cow when I was young. Neighbors, friends and family have regularly relied on me to care for, walk and feed their fur babies when they're away. I have two fur babies, Lexi & Dobby, that get along with other dogs and get very exited when we have company. Just like me!

Gretchen does an amazing job time after time. I will continue to have her watch my little dog as long as she will be on Rover. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for the perfect dog sitter!

Gretchen and her family are outstanding people and took fantastic care of my dog. She made sure to understand any details of care that would make my dog comfortable in her home, and treated him as her own. Punctual, attentive, and always communicative with me, she is the top sitter that I've ever chosen. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone, and I will be rebooking with her in the future.
