Experienced, flexible animal lover!
Pet care experience
I am a college student with a flexible schedule, so I have lots of availability! I grew up taking care of dogs, cats and horses since I was very young. I adore the company of animals and love taking good care of them! I treat pets as my own, as family members. As a kid and teenager I volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter with cats and dogs. With dog walking, I make sure they get their fill of the outdoors and lots of love! My family dog recently passed away, but every day growing up I would walk her twice a day for very long walks because she was a high energy dog. She was a border collie mix so she needed to burn that energy and run! I also took her with me where I went horseback riding on the trails so she could run as much as she pleased. I have two kitties now, so I miss dogs very much living in the city. I look forward to caring for and loving your pup or feline!
Reviews
Grace is an incredible cat sitter. Nigel, my cat, fell in love with her during her first visit in 2020, and she's been my go-to since then. Grace is extremely responsible, spends a lot of time with your animal, and is very adept at administering medicine and other food and behavior-specific routines. She also has a huge heart! As I said, my cat -- who is very crotchety and particular -- loves her. He hates when I try to groom him but Grace has the magic touch; Nigel loves being groomed by her! It is such a gift to go out of town and feel completely at ease with the knowledge that your pet is being cared for so lovingly. I recommend Grace without reservation!
This is the second time we have had Grace watch our pets, and she was great with them! She was also very happy to adjust the schedule when our travel plans changed, and very easy to communicate with. We love all the pictures and videos she sent.
Grace is a terrific person! Grace took care of my cat Ambrosia on the upper west side of Manhattan for several days. My cat needed special attention because of the several medications she has to take as well as an injection. Since I had to go out of town to Connecticut, Grace send me some photos of my cat which was very reassuring. I can highly recommend Grace because she personable, reliable. kind and caring.
Grace was amazing. Great communication, photos, and was so accommodating. Our cat was so calm when we returned. Will definitely be reaching out to her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services!
