Hi there! My name is Grace (my first name is listed on Rover), and I've been caring for all kinds of animals since I was a small child. I grew up in a rural area next to my aunt's farm, where we helped care for goats, horses, cows, etc. We had some really special pets growing up, as well - a beautiful German Shepherd, a Miniature Collie, and the sweetest cats. I have had pets as far back as I can remember! I started pet sitting for friends and acquaintances in the Knoxville, TN area for a few years, and can't wait to add some local furry friends to my life. I'm especially excited about working and playing with dogs again! Thanks for taking the time to read this - I hope to hear from you! For short-term needs (e.g., an afternoon) I'll make sure your pet gets all the food, fresh air, and love they need! I'm also available for longer arrangements (e.g., overnight stays) and would be happy to discuss any additional needs you have.
