Working a hybrid job allows me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care for the pets I pet sit. Since I spend much of my time at home, I’m able to offer frequent affection, bathroom breaks, and regular walks throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

My pet care services are tailored to each pet’s needs, whether they stay in my home or I care for them in their own familiar environment. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding at scheduled times, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I also offer companionship throughout the day, ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. For overnight stays, I maintain their normal bedtime routine and provide plenty of affection and reassurance. For pets staying in my home, I create a welcoming and stress-free environment that feels like a home away from home. I provide a structured routine with consistent meals, exercise, and enrichment activities. Whether it’s a cozy spot to relax, playtime in a secure space, or extra cuddles, I ensure each pet feels at ease. I also accommodate special requests, such as administering medications or following specific training guidelines. Regardless of location, my goal is to provide attentive, loving care that keeps pets happy, comfortable, and well-cared for while their owners are away.

Information grace c. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I gather key details to ensure they receive the best care. I ask about their daily routine, including feeding, bathroom breaks, walks, and sleep habits. It’s important to know any medical needs, such as medications or allergies, as well as their behavior and how they react to new people or animals. Understanding their exercise preferences, favorite activities, and training commands helps me keep their routine consistent. I also confirm emergency contacts, including vet information, to be prepared for any situation. Having this information in advance allows me to provide a smooth, stress-free experience for both the pet and their owner.

A typical day

Mornings typically start with feeding, potty breaks, and a longer walk if needed. Throughout the workday, I take breaks to check in on the pets, give them attention, and ensure they’re comfortable. Midday walks and playtime provide extra exercise and enrichment. Evenings are reserved for dinner, another walk, and some quality time before settling in for the night. Of course, every pet and family has different needs, so I tailor my routine to match their preferences—whether that means extra playtime, specific feeding schedules, or additional walks to ensure each pet is happy and comfortable. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, loving care, ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Loving Dog Sitter!

Pet care experience

Hi! My names Grace! I’ve had dogs me entire life but recently moved to the city for school and I miss my pup so much! I’ve been looking for a job to make some extra money so when I heard about Rover I had to sign up! I’ve had experience with dogs of varying suzes from a minniature Schnauzers, to English Mastiffs. I got one of my dogs when she was 8 weeks old and the other we had until he was 16 so I also have experience with different ages and activity levels and how to cater to that. Due to covid, I’m home all day every day so if I was to sit your dog I’d be able to constantly play with them and take them on frequent walks and bathroom breaks. I also am able to administer any medications needed. I will also accept cats! Please message me if interested! I am home right now full time so I have plenty of time to play with the dogs and take them for walks and many bathroom breaks. I let your animal treat my space as theirs while they’re here they can go where they please including furniture. I’m home for school right now so I will be able to give them lots of attention and love.

Grace handled our young puppy perfectly and was flexible with our changing schedule. Our puppy had a great time and was excited to go back.

Grace was great! She was very attentive to Emma’s needs and was very responsive. You can rely on her to send you updates and pictures of the pups and you can trust that your pup will be in good hands :)
