Active student and animal lover

Pet care experience

I am a current college student athlete at Lesley University in Cambridge Massachusetts but home for the summer in Los Angeles, California! My mother is the Office manager for a national German Shepherd dog club, and my family has had the privilege of having amazing German Shepherds be a big part of our family for 11 years. My dad wanted to be a veterinarian when he was in his teens, and now I also want to be one. I loved my 3 rescued guinea pigs and every animal I meet. This is my way of enjoying a "temporary" pet while I put the money earned into my college fund. I look forward to meeting your pets and taking amazing care of them!

Our pup had the best time! We could have not asked for a better sitter for Cody. Would highly recommend her, as she has a lot of experience with pups and German Shepherds in particular ... and it shows!!! ? Also, she was on time, left us great notes on the App including pictures and followed all instructions perfectly.

Our dog loves her walks with Gretchen and her daughter. They are very experienced, on time, and accommodating!

Gretchen and her fabulous family were amazing with Millie. Millie loved being there...and I loved her being with such a caring and attentive family. While away I got such lovely photos and updates. Gretchen truly cared for Millie as if she was her own...and I can’t think of a better compliment than that! Millie will be back!!!!

Gretchen and her family are lovely and took great care of my pup for daycare. My labradoodle loved going to her house to play with toys, go outside as he pleased, and get lots of attention! Gretchen sent updates throughout the day with photos and was very thorough during our initial meet-and-greet in the morning. I will definitely be taking him back for daycare in the future.
