Pet care experience
I’ve always felt a special depth of connection, love, and understanding for animals but my journey of pet care started when I was 7. I had asked for a hamster for my birthday but, knowing my maturity, my parents instead got me 2 cats. I loved and cared for them as if they were the little brothers I’ve always wanted. Over the years came more family cats and dogs that I also treated as siblings or maybe even children. When I was 13, my dog was attacked by another dog and her wounds became infected. We almost lost her. I slept on the bathroom floor with her for months so she would at least have someone by her side if she did pass. I changed her drains and bandages throughout the day and night. I would sing to her and pour my love and strength out upon her. (She made a full recovery and thrived for several more years.) I also trained her as a puppy and taught her to sit, stay, fetch, roll over, stop, come, go, drop it, lay down, go to bed, paw, other paw, go potty. I spent 3 summers in a row doing an internship with a vet who had his own clinic but also traveled to other towns to farms to work with livestock. In the clinic I helped him preform spays, neuters, c-sections, euthanizations, grooming, wound cleaning and stitches. I helped deliver many horses, cows, pigs, and goats. I assisted with an intestinal surgery on a cow. Livestock vaccinations and grooming. I preformed CPR on puppies and cows that where not breathing upon delivery and saved their lives. And many other tasks that strangely fulfilled my heart.
Reviews
Gracie was excellent Always on time and flexible My dogs took to her like a duck takes to water I would highly recommend her to anyone
Gracie is naturally gifted. Molly who is always shy in the beginning, connected with her right away and there are pictures to show it. Also, she was always on time and her communication is excellent. I will definitely be asking her for help in the future.
I have known Gracie all of her life as she is my youngest daughter! Our family has always had dogs, mostly Leonberger's, and Gracie was the alpha! She got the gene for animal savviness. Even started working at a horse farm when she was 9. Her calm gentle, spirit puts animals at ease, and she is equally assertive and skillful with leading and correcting. She possess an extra measure of common sense and situational awareness. Of course I am biased, but if you're looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, loving person to walk and connect with your pet, look no further Gracie is the best bet!

I have the utmost regard for all animals. I understand they have souls just like you and I. They deserve love and respect and have needs as we do. I welcome all animals with open arms and heart, regardless of how high maintenance or how many moods swings they may have. I find animals often bring moments of reflection and can actually be great teachers in many regards. Even if it’s just in patience.

Information Gracie B. would like to know about your pet
I love to know about a dogs personality, attitudes, sense of humor, favorite ways to play. Of course any dietary restrictions or health concerns as well.
A typical day
There is beautiful canal with a walking trail directly across the street from my apartment. There are quite a few parks within walking distance and I’m more than happy to drive to the dog parks nearby for socializing and space to run free. We can play frisbee, catch, tug-o-war, or just chill out together if that’s how they’re feeling. I always stay in tune with the animal and follow their flow of energy.
