Pet care experience

A Family type Home for your Dog

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. :)

Gretel is always great. She took in Mochi last minute so we could deal with a family emergency this time. He always loves seeing her and I know he is well taken care of.

Very communicative the entire stay, even sending sweet update photos! She was great with both my small and big dog and navigated introducing them to the other dogs and cat in her home very well.

A great experience. Gretel sent daily photos and clearly enjoyed hanging out with the kitties.

Gretel can host up to 3 pets per night
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.
These prices are for 1 dog.
