A Loving Home Away From Home
I work remotely with a flexible schedule. I have had dogs in our family ever almost 20 years. Our family dogs passed away recently and we don’t plan to adopt another one. So hopefully Rover can help me with my craving for spending time with furry friends! My home is a spacious, dog-friendly house with a large covered deck and a fully fenced backyard. We’re also in a walkable neighborhood close to parks and walking trails, so there are plenty of opportunities for fresh air and daily walks. Dogs aren’t just “clients” to me — they become part of the family while they’re here. They’re welcome to relax on the couch, enjoy the backyard, and settle into a comfortable home environment. I’m also happy to follow your routines and house rules so your dog feels as comfortable and secure as possible. After many years of caring for dogs, I’m comfortable getting to know different personalities and helping dogs feel safe and settled in a new environment. I’m especially patient with senior dogs and understand that every dog has different needs and routines. I also have two wonderful pre-teen boys who have grown up with animals. They have very special bond with dogs, and they often seek them out first when they arrive. Both kids contribute to caring for our furry friends. Because I share 50/50 custody with my ex-husband, there are many days when it's just me at home caring for the dogs. Whether my children are home or not, My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️

Ratings and reviews
We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Grace! What a wonderful soul who deeply cares for dogs. From the moment we walked into her lovely home, we felt peace and comfort. We knew that she was someone who truly loved dogs. My anxious pup who has leash anxiety was able to go happily on a 3+ mile walk with her. She went above and beyond to make my dog feel at home and us at ease while we were on our mini retreat. We will be so lucky to have Grace spend precious time with our dog again. Thank you!
Grace is amazing! For sure Charlie had a blast time with her. She sent me pictures every day and some videos, what kept my heart happy. She has a great routine with the dogs that keeps them safe and calm, and she's also very affectionate with them. Charlie came home clean, with his fur brushed, and calm. It was my best experience so far. Charlie will definitely miss the days he spent with Grace.
I highly recommend Grace as a pet caregiver. She took wonderful care of my dog, Linlin, and I could immediately tell how caring, patient, and responsible she was. She treated Linlin like her own and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout his stay. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in her care. Grace is trustworthy, attentive, and truly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her with Linlin again and recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and dependable pet caregiver.
Grace was absolutely wonderful with Linlin! She took such great care of him and treated him like her own. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with her because she was so loving, attentive, and responsible. She kept me updated and made sure Linlin was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. I could tell he really enjoyed being with her! I would definitely trust Grace with Linlin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.

Schedule
I take the dogs for two walks each day—one in the morning and one in the evening. Since I work from home, pet care seamlessly fits into my routine. The dogs spend their day with me, usually relaxing by my desk or following me around the house. They’re part of my daily life, not just being watched. I take regular breaks to let them outside, play, and give them affection. If you prefer they stay only in my fully fenced backyard, I can accommodate that. My days start early and end late, ensuring the dogs get a final potty break before bed and one first thing in the morning.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities! My home features: - A large, fully fenced backyard - Clean and comfortable lawn with professional landscape services year-round - Security cameras around the property - Constant supervision throughout the day - Dogs are never left unattended outside. - I typically care for only one or a few compatible dogs at a time, allowing for close monitoring of their interactions. I: - Carefully introduce new dogs - Supervise playtime - Separate meals when necessary - Pay close attention to each dog's personality and comfort level - Dogs thrive when they feel like part of a family, spending time inside the house with me rather than being isolated. - I accommodate sleeping preferences, whether it’s in a crate, on their own bed, or in bed with people. 🔔 **Private Stays** - Some families prefer their dog to be the only guest in my home. - I offer exclusive stays whenever my schedule allows, which incurs an additional fee as it means I cannot accept other bookings during that time. - Feel free to ask if you're interested in this option
A typical day
I love to take dogs out for a walk where new smells can be found, playing fetch or tug of war during play time, and taking long walks (if requested) where we can take treat and water breaks.
