About Gretchen

Though I have a graduate degree from Columbia in English and am a published author, what has been my dream job is to work with dogs! I simply want to adore what I do, and anyone who knows me also knows I am in love with canine furry friends, also, cats, and, really, any animals ... the classic animal lover. I have two rescue kitties, I had a rescue English Bulldog, and will adopt another when I have my own place again. An ex once sent me a sticker saying, This is you, Gretch!: Sorry I'm late. I saw a dog. I am quite comfortable handling multiple dogs at once, as my family has had three big dogs at one time: a Malamute/Husky mix, Border Collie, and a Retriever/Beagle mix. I also used to volunteer with my sister at an animal shelter. I am an athlete (as well as a drummer), and physical activity is vital for me. Thus, not only do I thrive on walking dogs, but taking them for light runs is equally a pleasure, should this be of interest for you
