Best friend for your pet :)
Pet care experience
I've been a lifelong pet owner and over the last ten years I have cared for and worked with animals through dog walking, pet sitting and various volunteer activities with local rescues. I currently work at a local veterinary office during the week so if your fur baby requires 24/7 care, I would not be available to provide that level of care. I can promise that all of my time outside of my work hours is spent with your pet giving them all the love they require. No request is absurd, and I will be sure that your fur baby is spoiled in your absence. I love meet & greets and highly recommend scheduling one with me prior to booking. They are an excellent way for you to get to know me and for me to really get to know your pet before they are left in my care. Can't wait to meet you!! I am a full time best friend to all pets. This is in fact my full time job and I love having the opportunity and flexibility to focus on providing an exceptional service to everyone that books with me. I do not board pets due to living in an apartment and having a senior live in dog of my own. But when I am pet sitting in a clients home I strive to keep their routines as close to regular as I can so your pet won’t even notice you are gone. I like to play and run around with my active clients and I also enjoy lazy couch or floor snuggles with my older and less active clients ☺️
Reviews
Grace is such a considerate, loving pet sitter. She recently housesat for our two Golden Retrievers and we couldn’t be happier with how she cared for them. Pippa and Clark enjoyed play time, cuddles, and their favorite walkies. When we returned home, our house was in perfect condition and Pippa and Clark didn’t even miss us being home. We recommend her to everyone and can’t wait for her to care for our dogs again!!
Grace went above and beyond for our dogs and cat. She came to visit with them twice before to get all the details and make sure we were comfortable. The pets were all obsessed with her by the end of the visit, even our very anxious dog who doesn’t make friends easily (or at all). We will gladly work with Grace again for future trips and recommend her to all our friends!!
Grace was wonderful with our two pups while we were away!
Grace took such great care of our babies! This was the first time we have left our two senior Boxers with a house sitter and I was concerned they’d be upset or nervous. Nope! They were snuggling up with Grace for bedtime on the first night! Grace sent fantastic photos and videos the entire time and it was evident how happy our pups were with her. She was also very respectful of our home- everything was clean and tidy when we came home.

I do not board pets in my home because I have a senior special needs dog that cannot be around other dogs. But when I am with your pet in their space, I strive to maintain normal routines as best I can in your absence.
Information Grace H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of so they are comfortable at all times.
A typical day
I love to engage with the pets I’m looking after whether that be high energy activities like fetch or going for a jog, or endless lazy belly rubs in their favorite spot to relax.

Availability
I am currently working (30ish hrs per week) at a local veterinary office, but I still have plenty of time to be a best friend to local pets in need.
