Safety, trust & environment

I typically watch animals in the owners home as it is easier for me. While I sit for any animal I will always fulfill the needs of the animal and do what I’m asked by their pet parent as it is my responsibility to do so. I always send pictures and videos of their pet and keep them updated on how they are doing with me and our given activities or activities I might decide on my own whether that be going on a hike, a car ride, nature center walk, ect. That’s of course with the asking for permission of the pets parent. We keep it lively or lazy depending on the pets.

Information Grace D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is special needs or has behavioral issues I can account for. I want your dogs to have their needs met by any means necessary and allow them, the owner, and myself to feel safe.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on adventures to nature parks with cool trails, dogs who like water I have a small portable pool I use for both of our entertainment, ball play and of course cuddles on the couch after a long day. Also if I’m allowed I totally get pup cups for the babies.

Pet care experience

Towards the end of Covid I decided to start dog sitting for my friends, my parents friends, and people they recommended to me. I’ve been wanting to expand clientele and gain more experience.

Grace was fantastic! Our dog had his first seizure ever while we were away and she handled it wonderfully. Contacting us immediately and making sure he was okay. Very grateful that she was there to care for him during that time. 10/10 would recommend her.

She stayed in home for almost a week and took great care of my two dogs. They were well cared for and one (a recent rescue) uses the pee pads, so there's a bit of cleaning involved - the place was SPOTLESS! Great job, definitely recommend.

Grace did a great job taking care of our cat who requires a lot of extra care than your average cat!

Grace was amazing! I needed someone last minute and we were still able to do a meet and greet beforehand. She was very attentive to my dog and made sure she had a stress free weekend.
