Gretchen took great care of my porch cats while we were gone. She even noticed an open speakeasy and gave it a temporary fix until we returned. I would highly recommend her services!

Gretchen is a sincere nurturer! She recently tended to ducks, chickens, my cat and dog. She brought toys and played, fed them and more 3x per day. She tended to the garden and cleaned my kitchen. She takes pet photos and is so talented! Her communication with us put us at ease. Her joy is catching and she is such an animal lover! We love her!

Oh my goodness! I can’t say enough about our experience with Gretchen as our pet sitter.! She went above and beyond. You could tell she loved our little doggies, actually spent time with them, sent pictures twice a day at each visit and checked our porch for packages, uncovered my plants before it rained and swept up any messes our puppy made with leaves and sticks and bark she brought in from the yard!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Changing litter or bedding • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.

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 😊👍🏻

Details: Cat • 1 pet • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc.
