Hardworking Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I have been petsitting since I was 11 years old! I have taken care of a variety of breeds, both cat and dog. For years my clients have depended on me to walk, feed, give medicine to, and love their fur-babies. I have been getting clients through word of mouth for years, and I finally decided to put myself out there online!

Grace did a wonderful job dog sitting my older Cairn Terrier for a few weeks. She sent constant updates every day along with pictures. She also did a good job of keeping the house clean. My dog was in such a good mood when I came home from my trip. I would definitely recommend Grace as she is a great person and a great pet sitter!

Grace was great! Very responsive and flexible when our plans changed last minute. Our pets were well cared for and we’ll definitely use Grace again.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep to the schedule of the pet to maintain their sense of normalcy while you are away. I will listen to your pets behavior and body language to determine how much attention and love they need. Some dogs love cuddles and attention, but I've taken care of other dogs who prefer to keep to themselves. This is the same for cats. I send frequent updates via text, I take lots of photos while I'm watching pets. I tend to send 3 updates per day I am there. One in the morning, afternoon, and before bed. If I am just stopping by to let them go potty I also send photos and updates while I am there. I also clean before leaving your home, especially if I stay for more than one night. I will change the sheets of the bed I sleep in, vacuum and wipe down anything I interact with in your home.

Information Grace D. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know a dogs general energy level and temperament, that way I can tailor my care to their needs. Also it is important for me to know their usual daily schedule, I find it can help a dog adjust to not having their mom or dad around if I maintain their routine.

A typical day

I love to play with cats and dogs, outside or inside! I am not comfortable taking someone else's dog to a public place where they could get hurt. However I spend lots of time playing with dogs to get all their energy out. Playing fetch, tug of war, and other fun play!
