Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Grace, and I have been caring for dogs for almost 20 years (for both my own dogs and others). Right now I have one 2yo goldendoodle named Mick, who is very friendly and submissive with other dogs. His favorite things are playing with friends and snuggling with mom and dad! I live across the street from 2 parks that are perfect for potty breaks and long walks, and half a mile from 2 dog parks! Pups in my house get plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and leash training if needed. Both my husband and I work from home so your dog will have round-the-clock care and attention! I have experience with dogs 15-95 lbs, handling up to 3 at a time. Please feel free to reach out if I sound like a good fit for your family!

Grace took such good care of our 6 month old Alaskan malamute! She was very professional, responsive, and updated us with everything that we needed to know. Murphy loved spending time with Grace!

Grace has been one of the best things to happen to my family in regard to our dog, a Havanese named Conway. Conway tended to be aggressive and had even bit a couple of friends and neighbors, so we often had trouble finding caretakers aside from expensive trainers and kennels. But since Conway has met his saving "Grace" we all have had less stress (especially Conway!). Although our dog was initially aggressive towards Grace, she was unfazed as she gradually and confidently introduced herself to Conway, and he was able to warm up to her in a way he had never done with a stranger before. Grace continued to impress as she helped us train Conway with some basic commands (ie sit, down, leave it). We have seen definite improvements in Conway's listening and have greatly appreciated Grace's experience and patience with him. Conway and Grace enjoy long walks and cuddles on the couch when she dog sits for us, and she is has been our go-to caretaker for about two years now. I give her the highest recommendation I can as a dog caretaker, and I know Conway does too :)

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are the #1 priority in my home! All of the furniture is dog friendly, we get outside several times a day, and there is plenty of space for multiple dogs to spread out if they need some space. Every animal is different so I aim to provide the resources and space for everyone to feel comfortable - whether that’s play time all day, lots of naps, or anything in between.

Information Grace F. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, but I would like to know the dog's general temperament and personality before sitting him or her, as well as any special quirks or needs! I am happy to set up a meet-and-greet with you and your pup beforehand to make sure we are a good fit!

A typical day

We go on lots of walks around the neighborhood and/or to parks, play games with toys (tug-of-war, fetch, etc.), go to dog parks to socialize, and wrestle!

Both my husband and I work from home so your dog will rarely be without supervision. I have a flexible work schedule so I prioritize at least 2 walks per day and/or a visit to the dog park. Every dog is different and I am more than happy to customize a routine that works best for your pup!
