Information Gretel P. would like to know about your pet

Before taking care of your dog, I would like to know if your baby has been trained. What kind of behavior your dog has? Is your dog allergic to anything? Is your dog-friendly with cats, dogs and babies? I do not have any preference for a specific breed but pet owners need to take into consideration these factors. 1. I am ok with any dog breeds for a walk or extra activity outside. However, I would like to know if your dog is ok with other dogs. If yes, I will bring my Coco (my chihuahua) with us to have fun together if not, no problem I will let her at home. 

 2. I am ok with taking care of your dog at my place but your baby needs to be ok with my cats and my chihuahua.
 3. I am ok to pet sitting at the owner's place and I am open to all breeds.

A typical day

As pet owner business, we have a lot of treats and toys in our home. We will take your baby at the parks, 1 walk/day (if the weather it's nice) and teach them discipline and some training tricks.

Pet care experience

Hello all Dogs & Cats owners, 
My name is Gretel and I am a dog whisper :)! I've more than 10 years working with dogs/cats and they are my whole world! I speak 3 languages (English, French, and Spanish). For the moment I am working at home, so I have plenty of time for your babies! I am the owner of Paws Bento (pet treat company). So, I always have delicious treatos at home !:) I am the mommy of two beautiful cats Izzy and Romeo and the princess of the house, my tiny chihuahua Coco. My pets are my babies and I treat them with a lot of love, respect, and discipline. I just moved to Peterborough in a house. We want to do a kind of Airbnb for dogs. 😍🤗 Now you got it - I love taking care of pets. They make me happy and my goal is to make them happy too. * I have experience with Rescue/Puppies & Senior dogs Note: I also do special price for 1/2 day and additional discount for 5 days /7 booking for daycare. Please contact me for more information. :)

Davie had spent a day with Gretel and he enjoyed love & attention and got fully pampered. I really appreciate that Davie felt being home. I will highly recommend Gretel for furry baby care 👍 Thank you Gretel :)

Gretel was great with Toby. It was a bit busy for my quiet dog but he was really well cared for. I expect to trust him to her care often when I need someone to care for him.
