Rescue and dog mom extraordinaire!

Pet care experience

I first realized my extreme love for dogs when my family and I got involved with animal rescue. We started fostering and dog sitting for various rescues, and I quickly gained dog-specific knowledge and experience, allowing me to care for others' animals while they were away. I had always dreamed of turning my love for dogs into a career, and after starting on Rover as a struggling college student, I can now say that my dream has finally become a reality! I am currently the Vice President of a fantastic dog rescue in central Florida called Save A Life Pet Rescue. While most of my job is finding our rescued dogs new homes on the weekends at adoption events, during my free time, I choose to take care of my friends' and families' dogs! One might say I am "dog-crazy" and they would be right. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! :)

Quick to respond, took great care, and even brought a package in for us without us asking. Will book again!

Grace is super good with my pup and has a genuine love for animals! I left my baby with her for a whole week and she went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and loved. I wouldn’t go elsewhere for a pet sitter, and I’d recommend her to anyone who is looking for a compassionate and reliable person to look after their fur children!

Grace loves animals and they mean the world to her. She dog sits for us every time we go out of town and does a great job! She is highly responsible and loves our pets as if they are her own. She has been known to rescue and foster animals as well. She is very passionate when it comes to animals and I would highly recommend her to any one! Our dogs are our family and I know I can leave them in her care and they will be loved just as much by her as us.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, especially working in animal rescue, is always my number one priority. Please be detailed on your dog's specific safety or environmental needs (ex: crated at night, needs leash on in the backyard, or cannot be walked when areas are congested with other animals). Basic animal care and husbandry will be followed at all times, including consistent belly rubs and pets!

As previously mentioned, for the best experience possible, please be specific about your cat or dog's wants and needs while I am caring for them. Also, please make sure you let me know how to enter your home to greet your pet. Thank you!

A typical day

Animal play time and walking for dogs are both ideal for a healthy and happy life. Please let me know what types of toys, playtime activities, or in the case of walks; where your pets like to adventure, so I know exactly how to make their time away from you fun and exciting! :)

I have one special needs dog of my own, and two guinea pigs so animal and pet care is a daily routine activity for me. However, I do have a wonderful partner who watches our fur babies when I'm not home.
