Pet care experience

Happy days with your animals!

I have been taking care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have taken care of dogs of all ages from little puppies to cute oldie senior pups. I have experience and comfortability with giving meds, going on long walks, and playing with lots and lots of toys. When I was little I would take care of my neighbors dogs with basic responsibilities like letting them outside and feeding them, which made my love for dogs grow even more. I started a summer "business" with my sister and friend just trying to find an excuse to play with the neighborhood dogs. I even got to take my love into a career when I worked in a vet clinic for almost two years during covid. When owners were not allowed into the building, I would be the one to love, hold and play with the animals during the appointment time so that they were still taken care of. I also worked down in the boarding facility, feeding, cleaning, and walking a ton of dogs who all needed to stretch their legs a little. I take time with each animal as much as possible, so not only do they get to spend time with someone, but they get to spend time with someone who actively is just as excited to see them!

Safety, trust & environment

I have done lots of combination house sitting and pet sitting for many of my neighbors throughout the years! I always clean up after myself, and leave the place better than I found it. I can also do some odd chores here or there if you would like, I have watered lots of plants! Keeping the pet in the comfortable environment is most important to me, as that is their home and I want them to be as cozy as possible while I am there.

Very punctual, communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby in her hands :)

Grace has been a wonderful caregiver for our Lulu for a number of years and I trust her implicitly with our dog. She is punctual, loving, and cares for Lulu which is evident in the fact that Lulu doesn't like just anyone. But she's excited to see Grace. Grace has accepted last-minute requests, spent the night at our house, dealt with Lulu's anxiety during thunderstorms and fireworks, and other anxiety-related behaviors. Lulu is a senior dog and Grace is very patient with her and attentive to her needs.

Schedule

I currently work part time, mostly mornings, so any visits in the afternoon or evening would be perfect for my schedule! I get my schedule as early as three weeks in advance, so I know exactly when I am free about then. I can also stay with dogs, but need to be able to leave in the early morning but usually isn't a problem!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Grace can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know any special dietary or medical needs, and if they have any quirks with specific people! If there is anyway to win them over I would love to know that too, I can always carry some cheese in my pocket :)
