About Gretel

Hello all Dogs & Cats owners,


My name is Gretel and I am passionate about animals. This is one of the main reasons why I am vegetarian. I speak 3 languages (English, French, and Spanish). For the moment I am working at home, so I have plenty of time for your babies! I am the owner of two pets businesses. We produce pet treats & dog subscription boxes.

I am the mommy of two beautiful cats Izzy and Romeo and the princess of the house, my tiny chihuahua Coco. My pets are my babies and I treat them with a lot of love, respect, and discipline.

We just moved to Peterborough in a house. We just want to do a kind of Airbnb for dogs. 😍🤗

Now you got it - I would like to be a pet sitter in order to be around dogs, surrounded by their love. It makes me happy and my goal is to make them happy too.

* I have experience with Rescue/Puppies & Senior dogs

Available all day, any time even on weekends. We are three businesses partner who works with dogs. So, we will make time to fit your doggie in our schedule. 💕

We have a fenced yard. A lot of space and nice parks closer. We also love to try our business products on them. As long the owner does not mind! :)

(What I would like to know about your pet)

Before taking care of your dog, I would like to know if your baby has been trained. What kind of behavior your dog has? Is your dog allergic to anything? Is your dog-friendly with cats and dogs?

I do not have any preference for a specific breed but pet owners need to take into consideration these factors.

1. I am ok with any dog breeds for a walk or extra activity outside. However, I would like to know if your dog is ok with other dogs. If yes, I will bring my Coco (my chihuahua) with us to have fun together if not, no problem I will let her at home. 



2. I am ok with taking care of your dog at my place but your baby needs to be ok with my cats and my chihuahua.


3. I am ok to pet sitting at the owner's place and I am open to all breeds.

*Your dog will :

-Has access to the entire home.

-Can sleep in my bed (if he/she is clean).

- Our condo has a fenced in backyard

- I will be at home must of the time (max 2-3h absent)

- 3-4 exercise walk/day

- Potty breaks every 0-2h

- Will bathe your dog (if required)

- Will provide food ($)/or you bring food

***As pet owner business, we have a lot of treats and toys in our home. We will take your baby at the parks, long walks and teach them discipline and some training tricks.

note: If you are out for few days don't worry I will send you a daily picture of your pet if it desired. With me, your pet is in good hands!

Dog Boarding

I knew immediately upon meeting Gretel that my dog would be in wonderful hands! I required care for my senior dog Sadie for a week and she had never been left with anyone other than our close family before. She also has had very little interaction with other dogs and is often nervous around them and new spaces. Gretel made Sadie feel right at home and was also able to help her socialize with other dogs during her stay. She thrived there and I could tell from the photo updates she was so happy! I would 100% recommend Gretel to anyone looking for the best care for their beloved pet.

Gretel was terrific with my difficult cat, she had no concerns with taking on medication needs and was very conscientious. I felt the kitties were in very good hands and would be very happy to have her sit for my kitties again.
