12. Grace S.
About: Hi there! My name is Grace. I was a dog owner for a long time, and now I'm hoping to meet some new dogs and help you out in the process. I love to jog, and would be happy to take your dog for a run. I love to play fetch or whatever your dog's favorite game is. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm trained as a paramedic, so I'm responsible and cool-headed during emergencies. I love all dogs, but rescues and those scrappy-looking mutts hold a special place in my heart. I have experience with larger breeds as well. There's no dog too big or small for me! I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, so I can devote as much time to your animals as you need! I am available on short notice. I love to stay active, so I love going for walks or playing with animals. I live right across from a park with tons of space to run and play.
13. Kimberly I.
“I have known Kim for a very long time, and she is one of the most caring people you could have for a caregiver. She will always go out of her way and make sure that your pet has the utmost care that it can receive. She once took care of my dog Cooper, and he loved her so much that he would become upset when she left! I highly recommend her for this position as caretaker”
