Pet care experience

Lifelong Animal Lover 🤍

Hi there! I’m Grace — a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all personalities and needs. I grew up with two cats, one timid and one diabetic, so I learned early on how to handle medications and even give injections with care and patience. Now, my husband and I share our home with two lovable black lab rescues — one who’s reactive and needs extra reassurance, and another who’s the definition of friendly! We also have a sweet outdoor orange cat who decided our yard was home. Because of my background, I’m comfortable with pets who are shy, anxious, or have medical needs, as well as those who just want all the cuddles and playtime. I’ve pet-sat for friends and family for years, and I treat every animal like my own — with love, respect, and attention to their unique personality. Whether your pet needs a calm presence, an active play buddy, or just someone reliable while you’re away, I’d love to help!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has their own personality, boundaries, and needs — and I take the time to learn what makes them feel secure. Because of my background, I’m experienced with pets who need special attention or medication. I’ve administered insulin injections, handled reactivity with patience and calm, and cared for both anxious and social animals. I believe in gentle communication, positive reinforcement, and maintaining consistent routines so pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. You can trust that your pet will be cared for as if they were my own. I keep owners updated with photos, messages, and honest communication so you never have to worry. My goal is simple: for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands.

Grace is so natural with the love she gives animals. She has a heart of gold and loves to love on cats, dogs, and everything in between. I would trust her over and over again.

Grace has probably got the biggest heart I know. I've seen her bravely and lovingly take in scared (& sometimes aggressive) rescue dogs and turn them into family and watch them thrive. She's the sweetest across the board--with people and with animals; I'd trust her with my pets as well as my children. She's my go-to when my family needs help; I know she's dependable, and cares as much as I do. I wouldn't hesitate a second to recommend her as a pet caregiver. Your pets and yourself are about to make a new friend :)

Please let me know what special attention your dog/cat may need (medication, walking needs, preferences). My goal is to make your furry friend feel as normal as possible, so if they have specific things they like... let me know!
