I love dogs as much as they love us

Pet care experience

Growing up I had a Golden Retriever named Dixie. She taught me everything there was to know about caring for dogs and set me up for future success with my own dogs. I’ve been pet sitting since 2020. I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I do my best to make sure they’re loved and cared for. In 2021 I got my husky mix Millie and in 2023 we added two more members to our family, Bella (Great Dane) and Siren (Tuxedo Cat). My best part of my day is coming home and cuddling with all my animals! I have experience caring for Puppies, Adult dogs, and Senior dogs as well.

Grace was great! Although I contacted her very last minute, she was very responsive and eager to help me out when I went skiing for the day. She played fetch with Watson in the backyard and gave him lots of love and attention which was very appreciated. I would definitely recommend Grace to any dog owners out there!

Grace is amazing and my doggies loved her! We have dogs with separation anxiety and she made sure they felt safe and loved while she was here!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets both in my home and in clients' homes with a focus on their individual needs and routines. In my home, I ensure a safe and comfortable environment, providing plenty of space for play, rest, and exercise. I stick to feeding schedules, offer regular potty breaks, and engage in fun activities like walks, fetch, or training sessions to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. In a client’s home, I follow the pet's established routine to maintain consistency, including adhering to specific feeding times, play habits, and any medication or special care instructions. I also prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while providing updates and photos to keep owners informed.

Information Grace D. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know if the dog has issues being around other dogs or children so I can make sure if we go on walks to avoid them interacting. I would also like to know if your dog works on a preferred schedule and had medications they need to take.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged and happy, so I always plan fun activities based on their personality and energy levels. For active dogs, we’ll go on long walks, play fetch in the yard, or even enjoy a game of tug-of-war. I also enjoy doing training exercises to challenge them mentally and build positive habits. For pets who prefer relaxation, I'll offer cozy cuddle time, gentle petting, or even a soothing massage. If they enjoy interactive toys, I’ll set up puzzle games or treat-dispensing activities to keep them entertained. Whatever their preferences, I make sure the activities are fun and tailored to each pet’s needs!
