I am a pet owner and animal lover! I am available and up for any pet needs! I clean litter boxes, have playtime, take walks, feed them, love on your pet and anything else you may need. I usually collect the mail, water plants and turn lights on and off. I try my best to take some good pictures of your fur baby to send every visit!

Gretchen was amazing! She really came through for us with our last minute request during the holidays! I'm so thankful she was available to comfort our baby! Even though our cat takes a while to warm up to people, she still was able to play with him and pet him while we were gone so he wasn't too lonely. Really appreciate it!💜

Gretchen provided loving care to my two dogs while I was out of town. She is a very sweet and trustworthy person! My two dogs were happy to be able to stay home, while Gretchen came to feed and play with them. I will definitely be using her pet services again!

Gretchen is a dream! A super sweet lady who loves people , animals and caring for their needs. I instantly bonded with her and she did not disappoint . Gretchen treated my home and my precious kitten with love and excellent care . She comforted my kitty in my absence, played with him, took care of his feedings and keeping his potty clean . He was happy when I came home and I could tell he was well cared for! My house was in perfect order, mail in, plants watered . I couldn’t have picked a better pet sitter than Gretchen. She is a quality person and my new friend! I wouldn’t hesitate to use her, she is the best . Gretchen even sent me a ton of pictures daily of my baby 😊👍🏻

Gretchen was wonderful with our pets. She treated our home and our fur babies as she would her own. The best home/pet sitter we have ever had! She sent us daily updates and the greatest pictures of our cats (I attached my favorite 😊). She provided for their daily needs and lots of love & playtime. We will not hesitate to use Gretchen as our pet sitter again in the future.
