Loving, Work-from-home Dog Mama
Pet care experience
I would be happy to care for your pet while you're at work or traveling. I grew up around dogs from childhood into young adulthood, with breeds such as Chihuahua and Bullmastiff to Lhasa Apso and American Staffordshire Terrier. After becoming a mother, my focus was on my family and career, but I would help neighbors and friends with their pets as needed when they went on vacation, over holidays, etc. In November 2020, we decided to rescue a 2-month-old puppy and have enjoyed watching her grow and become a loving companion to the family over the past few years. From walking and feeding to grooming and sleeping, I know how important it is for fur babies to follow routines, feel comfortable, and trust that they will be cared for in a safe, loving way. My priority is comfort and safety to ensure a pleasant experience for all. When I receive your initial request, I will suggest a meet & greet to discuss your expectations and ensure your dog feels comfortable with me as their caretaker, and for you to feel at ease knowing your dog's needs will be met.
Reviews
Grace was wonderful and r reliable She went beyond to look after my dog Kenai
I came home to two happy, healthy dogs. I didn't worry about them once while I was away because Grace is so good with them. She sent pictures and updates. Grace is my go to sitter!
Winnie had another great walk to the park with Grace today. She is always looking for critters. Thanks Grace!!
Winnie was so happy to have Grace walk her today. I am glad the rain held off. Thanks Grace!!

Safety, trust & environment
For care in your home, I like to follow the routines you have established with your dog so they're comfortable in a familiar environment. For boarding in my home, I begin by giving your dog time to adjust to me, my family, our home, our dog, and any other pets we may be caring for at the time. This allows them to relax, feel safe, and truly enjoy their stay. My family is all hands-on. We take walks, play with, and shower your dog with love. My dog is friendly and playful and enjoys the company of other dogs. I have an unfenced yard, so I would never leave a dog unleashed. I also work with a crate and pen so they have a place to feel comfortable, safe, and secure.
Home
Information Grace D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is working on any training, has any special behaviors or needs that I should be aware of. Also, what your dog likes to do for fun and any preferences in care is helpful.
A typical day
I like to promote healthy physical and mental play, from throwing a ball for fetch and playing rope tug, to puzzle toys and exploring all the smells of the neighborhood as we take a walk. For dogs that board with me, we have a big open field nearby where we take walks, run and play.
