Pet care experience

I've had a family cat since I was 10, who I greatly aided in taking care of. When starting college, I begin riding horses for the college team and fell head over heels in love with it, even the dirty stalls. I am happy to spend hours taking care of the horses and have no problem working early in the morning or late at night to make sure their needs are cared for. More recently, I fostered (and adopted) an 8 year old hound as he recovered from surgery, and have found how amazing and beneficial it is to have my dog with me. Since adopting him, we have been actively training him with basic obedience as well as some trick training to keep his mind busy. Finally, I have experience in dog sports including dock diving, agility, trick dog titles, and scentwork. Please be advised, as I do have my own fur baby at home, I greatly prefer drop-ins and/or short term care assistance over extended trips so I may best continue to care for my boy.

Molly had a great time with Grace and Clifford! She was attentive and sent many photo updates which gave us peace while we were away. A great first experience.

Grace is one of the kindest and most patient people I've ever met. She gives each animal the unique attention it needs. It doesn't matter if you have a hyperactive youngster eager for adventure or an elderly soul just looking for a casual stroll. She finds a way for each dog to get outside and completely enjoy the great outdoors. I trust her to take care of any and all of my animals. I know they are being treated in the exact same manner I would treat them - loved beyond belief and spoiled with attention.

Grace is the best with all animals! I don’t trust a lot of people with my fur babies but would definitely recommend Grace and use her! She treats them as if they are her own. She is reliable and dependable and will love your babies like she does her own. Cant recommend Grace enough!

Grace is responsible, understanding, and kind! I am super picky about who to entrust my dogs to, but I would absolutely trust her with my girls any time. Grace is incredible with animals and definitely a go to for pet care, you won’t have to worry about your pets while you’re away, rest assured that she’s got it covered, and your pups will be more than well taken care of!

Please let me know if your pet has any specific needs, including any and all quirks. My biggest must have information includes any sort of resource guarding or reactivity. Reactive animals are not a no go, but it is important information for the care of your pet.
