I highly recommend Grace as a pet caregiver! She is one of the best.”

About: I have been a pet owner all my life and always have had a passion for animals growing up. I have been professionally pet sitting for many years now. I have 2 rescue dogs named Gemma and Ollie who I absolutely adore. I enjoy what I do and would be happy to watch your fur babies! I do accounting during the day but work from home so I have plenty of time to care and play with your pups! I have flexible drop off and pick up times too because of working remotely. I have a fenced yard with 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. We also have a camera to keep an eye on your pups if we step out for a bit.

18. Christon F.
“Sammie and Lilac had a wonderful time at Christon’s apartment. She had excellent communication. I received a lot of updates and photos which were very helpful to ease my mind. She was also very accommodating towards my traveling schedule. I look forward for Sammie and Lilac to stay at Christon’s again!! Christon and her girlfriend were awesome with our 2 year old Yorkie and golden retriever! Basically, it was our first time leaving our dogs for a week and we knew they were in great hands with Christon! She made our trip easier as she sent us tons of pictures every day and was very quick to respond. I love that she was able to stay home the entire time, especially with our golden retriever having separation anxiety. She took great care of our pups and I cannot wait to have her watch them again! I highly recommend her to everyone!!”

20. Shirley A.
“Hello. My name is Ashkan Dastani. I’d like to take this wonderful opportunity to let you know how Shirley has lived her whole life loving and caring about dogs. I have known her very personally and have never seen a person who loves a dog as much as she does. Whenever she comes across a dog or any animal, you will see her meltinga and wanting to go and interact with it. It’s like she talks their language and can understand what the dog is feeling. Shirley has loved and cared about every dog she had since her childhood which makes my point very clear, that she is someone who would do anything in all her power to keep a dog happy and healthy.”
