Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Full-time Pet Sitter
I am a very loving and friendly individual, very experienced in caring for dogs - making sure their every need is met! I have been living with dogs since I was born, from rescue dogs to puppies. I could not imagine a home without one! When I was 16 I started working at the local dog shelter and since then I began pet sitting part-time alongside my studies 7 years ago. Quite quickly I fell in love with every aspect of the work, that I began working fulltime as a pet sitter. Whilst your pets are in my care I can focus all of my love and energy into your beloved animals, as I have no other commitments throughout my day. I plan my days completely around your pets and their needs. I understand how hard it can be leaving your pets whilst you are away. I want to make sure that experience is the best it can be for you and your pet. My aim is to create a very comfortable and welcoming environment for your dog within my home. A home from home! I value quality and intimate care, helping ensure your pets needs are met. Thus, allowing me to build up a relationship with your pets and help you work on any trainings you may be implementing. My passion lies with animals and what I love more than anything is to help others with their beautiful pets! As well as many years experience of pet sitting, I have a wealth of experience working in various dog shelters all over the world. From Mexico and Costa Rica to India! I also love helping out at the local dog shelter when I am free. In the near future I plan to expand my animal knowledge and become a qualified dog trainer and groomer. Bigger dogs are not an issue for me! I'm willing to take on any size, breed and temperament.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Grace was fantastic looking after Morris, he was clearly very happy and comfortable. He can be nervous and a little awkward sometimes but he was clearly completely at ease with Grace. He even spent the day with another dog which would usually be difficult for him
I can’t express enough how amazing Grace is! You can tell she really has a passion for dogs and will give your dog so much love and care! She had Homer for the dog and she took him on two long walks and he also had a swim! The luckiest boy ever! He came back absolutely pooped out too!
My dogs had a fantastic stay with Grace. I was a bit nervous leaving them as they've never stayed with a sitter before but they settled so well, Grace did a great job with them and kept me informed how they were doing. I don't think they were keen to come home! Would definitely recommend Grace for future stays 😊
Our 2yo mini labradoodle and us had a great experience using Grace for the first time. Grace was very accommodating with timings for drop-off and collection and was great with communication. She put our minds at ease with a lovely photo update on our pup’s first afternoon with her. Our dog obviously had a great time with lots of lovely walks, playtime and cuddles. Grace’s knowledge of dog behaviour and care was apparent from our first ‘meet and great’ with her manner with our dog great - he can be a little anxious when first in a new environment but seemed to settle in quickly. Many thanks to Grace - we will definitely be looking to ask for her availability when we next need a dog sitter.
Grace was absolutely amazing as always! She looked after Homer with less than 24 hours notice and I could tell he was taken good care of when I picked him up! She also sent me updates throughout the day!
Grace was fantastic with Spud! I can tell that he had a lovely day with her, and she gave good updates throughout the day so I knew what he was up to and how he was doing. She’s really kind and obviously cares a lot about the dogs in her care, would definitely recommend to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet 🖤

Safety, trust & environment
I do not have any pets living with me in my Bristol home and I have a fully fenced garden. I can offer a loving and homely service for you pet. A home from home! I am happy to help assist in keeping the training consistent of your dog. I have a wealth of experience working with rescue dogs and anxious dogs, so I am happy to take on these temperaments.
A typical day
I start by getting to know your dog and seeing what works for them! Thus, gaining their trust so that they can have the most relaxed and fulfilling experience with me. I have some beautiful spots close by including, Eastville Park, Snuff Mills, St George, Purdown... the adventures are limitless! I also have experience working with more anxious dogs and rescue dogs, so I know how much patience, attention and coherence is required. I am happy to help work on training techniques with your dog if you are currently working on some too!

- It would be great to know if your dog has any special requirements or needs. That may include diet or health. How is your dog with other dogs? How are they on their walks - would you prefer that they are on or off lead? Also if there is a specific routine or schedule that you would like me to go by when caring for your dog. Including eating, walking and sleep times.
