Pet care experience

Doxie Mom of 3 🐾 Weenies & Friends

I have 3 dachshunds at home. Two are seniors and one is a puppy. I also cared for my senior cat up until she was 17. 🤍 My animals are my babies. At home, I am described as a helicopter parent...(always hovering) making sure they are happy & safe. I have pet experience with medical conditions such as IVDD, diabetes, cushings, asthma, etc. I am familiar with all of the poisonous plants, foods, toxins in your home and dangerous wildlife in our area. I take the safety of your baby seriously, just as if they were my own. I am new to creating a Rover profile, but not new to pet sitting. I've been watching friends, family & neighbor's fur kids since I was in high school.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to treat animals as if they were my own. How would I want a sitter to be with my baby? Kind, patient, fun, and always safe. I don't mind texting check-in photos or a short summary of my visit. I am easy to communicate with and will be happy to keep a routine and do my best to follow instructions for your kids.

This is the first time we have used a pet service for our girl so we were very nervous! But Gretchen was amazing and by the look on her face in pictures, Lexi really likes her! And….she ate and went #2, which she never does with even family watching her!! We will definitely request Gretchen again for our girl!!

Gretchen is amazing! I’m so happy to have found her. My kitties were well loved and cared for. She went above and beyond what I asked for. We are so grateful and hope to have her back next time.

It is important for me to know about any behavior issues or triggers in their environment for unfavorable interactions. I want to keep your baby safe. I also want to be safe. Is there an animal in your neighborhood you don't trust? Should I avoid walking in a certain area? Does your dog have any naughty/sneaky behavior (such as eating things they shouldn't) that I should in mind? Let me know! No judgements here, my weenies are notoriously up to no good. I just want to know what to expect. 😄
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.
