About Gretchen

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! : ) Caring for animals is my passion! I have a lifelong deep connection with animals, and I have always either had cats or dogs, or both. Growing up with animals always around has made me naturally feel like animals are an important part of family, and I TRULY enjoy caring for them. I treat every pet as my own, prioritizing their comfort and happiness. I ensure a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine for all animals in my care. I actively manage high-energy breeds with play and outings. I also maintain a clean and secure environment. In emergencies, I remain calm and follow pre-discussed plans. I always communicate any concerns immediately. Witnessing each pet's unique personality brings me joy. I would love to help your shy pet feel comfortable and loved. I'm responsible, kind, and empathetic, and I'm excited to meet your furry friend!
