Personal Pet Care
The people

Meet the caregiver.

Personal Pet Care is owner-operated by Gretchen Greene. When you call, you reach Gretchen. When your dog stays, they stay with her — in her home, under her care, every night.

Gretchen Greene

Gretchen is the owner and hands-on caregiver behind Personal Pet Care, with 26 years of dog training experience. She has fostered and rehabilitated more than 100 dogs over the years, giving her deep, practical insight into anxious, rescue, and special-needs guests. She built the business around one simple idea: care for every dog the way she'd want her own dogs cared for. Clients describe her as a dog whisperer — calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely devoted. She runs every consultation, manages medications and special diets, sends daily photo updates, and is the person you speak with when you call.

How Personal Pet Care started

Personal Pet Care opened in 2010 in Gretchen's Southeast Aurora home. What began as caring for friends' dogs while they traveled grew into a full-time commitment to cage-free, in-home boarding. Gretchen built the business around the idea that dogs do best in a real home with a consistent caregiver — not in a kennel with rotating staff.

Over the years, word spread. Clients stayed for years, often through multiple dogs. Many now book travel around Gretchen's availability. The training side grew naturally out of the same work: when you live with dogs day after day, you learn how to help them succeed. Today, Gretchen still runs every consultation, sends every update, and sleeps on-site every night.
