Pet care experience

Passionate Animal Care Professional

I have over 10 years of hands on experience caring for animals in both veterinary clinics and dog/cat boarding facilities, as well as volunteering as stable help. My background includes assisting with exams and procedures, monitoring animal health and behavior, administering medications, maintaining feeding and care schedules, and providing safe, attentive handling for animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’m trained in animal CPR and experienced in creating a calm, clean, and fun environment to ensure every pet’s well being. Caring for animals isn’t just my profession it’s my passion. At home, I have a full “zoo” of my own, including two cats, Sheldon and Sophie, and a 4 month old Husky/Alaskan Malamute mix named Zuko.

Dog Walking • Jun 15, 2026

Grace was amazing! I rescued a dog that has been very timid,scared,ready to bite. She worked with her on their walks twice each day and even at my hotel room when Indy didn’t want to leave her space, Grace stayed and comforted Indy every day and built a trust and relationship with Indy. and within a few days was able to build a trust with Indy who obviously has had minimal human contact or care,zero training, was left to roam and survive alone,trauma from being left alone in the middle of nowhere in Indiana, obviously scared of being the great dog that she is. But Grace helped Indy across a bridge that most people wouldn’t have tried to do. Not only is Grace a great dog walker, she’s a dog lover.. Great to work with, I have n zero complaints and a list of things she did outside of her walks that I should compliment her for that she did out of the kindness of her heart for Indy! Amazing person to have with your pet

Grace took great care of our cats while we were on vacation. One of my cats was not feeling the best before we left but she made sure to send updates, pictures and noted any changes since he was sick.

Grace did a great job with my dog and cat. She was on time and actually took Buddy for a walk. I'll definitely use her again.

Grace was so great with both my doggies! Especially with my senior dog ❤️ keeping me updated on her stools, providing bland food for her upset stomach, along with treats for both dogs and letting me know about any changes! It was super appreciated and we will most definitely be booking her again in the future!

Grace was great with all the instructions left and so flexible with accommodations! My dog absolutely loved her and she went the extra mile which is so appreciated as a dog mom. We hope to see Grace again!

I love getting to know each pet as much as possible ahead of time! It really helps me give them the best care. Things like their routine, feeding schedule, energy level, personality, and anything that comforts them are super helpful. I also like to know about any medical needs, medications, or quirks they may have. The more I know, the more I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home while they’re with me ❤️
