I'm a long distance runner/walker

Pet care experience

I’ll care for your fur baby like you would! All dogs/cats, big or small, make my day. I've had the pleasure of dog-sitting a lovely, shy standard poodle named Chloe, a loving, elderly beagle, a high energy Golden Lab, and a sweet, spunky husky-wolf hybrid named Aoraki. I've also cat-sat (is that right?). I would be happy to take your dog for a walk/run or care for them in their own home while you are busy/away. I can provide picture/video updates if you would like to see what your favorite family member is up to on their adventure outside!

Gretchen has house-sat for us and our beagle multiple times now. She has always been great! She was amazing with our dog and took awesome care of our home. I would absolutely recommend her. She was communicative and thoughtful and is very trustworthy.

Gretchen was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of our dog and our house while we were away. Our dog takes medication, and she did a great job with that, too. I would very highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I am currently able to sit for your animal in their own home. While my apartment does allow animals, I feel they are most comfortable in a familiar environment. I am happy to care for them in or around your home for as long as you prefer! I know my high-energy dog personally needs more than just a 30 min drop-in.

Information Gretchen W. would like to know about your pet

Come one, come all! No breed discrimination. I do ask that we have a meet and greet to ensure that your dog is comfortable with me.

A typical day

A typical day with my dog involves a long walk or 3 mile run in the morning and almost always a dog park visit at the end of the day. I live right near the cherry creek trail, so we often walk here and stop to cool off in the creek.
