Dependable w/10+ Years Experience
I am an animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats and small and exotic pets who will find a fun and loving friend in me. I lavish heaps of affection and praise on every four-legged companion left in my charge. I provide dog walking and daytime home visits including feeding and watering, refreshing the litter box, play time, administering oral medications, and transportation to vet appointments as needed. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! *Flexible schedule and reliable transportation.

Safety, trust & environment
The safety of your pets and the security of your home are my top priorities whether I’m dropping in for visits while you’re out of town or taking your pup for a daily walk while you’re away at the office. With over a decade of experience caring for dogs, cats, turtles and every thing in between, you can trust me to bring real-world animal care experience into your home. For your peace of mind (and mine!) I’m always vigilant of my surroundings, double check doors and locks and triple secure collars, leashes and harnesses. I’m a stickler for detail and will follow your care instructions to a T.
Ratings and reviews
Recon was so well taken care of by Grettel. They seemed to get along great. I felt very confident and at ease leaving recon with her! Highly recommend.
Professional, great communicator and truly a cat whisperer! Our very shy cat who usually hides from every stranger warmed to grettel right away. Highly recommend her!
Grettel took very good care of Emma. Emma takes a while to warm up to people and Grettel was very patient with her.
Grettel was amazing! Our cats loved her so much, I’m pretty sure they’re dying for us to go on vacation again so that they can have such dedicated treat and play time. We were so happy to have such a caring, responsive, and experienced sitter taking care of our babies.
Emma did very well with Grettel. Grettel will be staying with Emma for a few days this week and we feel very comfortable leaving Emma with her.
Grettel is a gem! Wonderful with our pup Rue, patient with us dog-parents, excellent communicator, and willing to jump in and help in a short time frame. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Grettel again soon!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule so you’re in luck! I’m available early morning through evenings Monday-Friday (and the occasional weekend and holidays) for walks, drop-in visits and overnight care in your home.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsGrettel can host up to 12 drop-ins per day
- I have no breed restrictions—As the former owner of a purebred American Staffordshire Terrier (RIP Junebug!) I know traits like gentleness, sweetness and tractability come in every package. I judge every animal as a unique individual. What I’ll need to know is if your animal has any existing health conditions or diet or activity restrictions that need special attention (i.e. needs medication, has a sensitive stomach so no treats, recent tendon tear or recent surgery and shouldn’t jump up on furniture, is vision or hearing impaired, is heat intolerant, etc.) or any tendencies, anxieties or aggression triggers I should be mindful of (i.e. pulls on leash, is dog aggressive, has a high prey drive around squirrels, a fear of children, resource guards, escape history, etc.). The more information you can share with upfront, the better 🐶
