Passionate about dogs of all sizes

Pet care experience

I'm available full time and already care for my own two dogs, as well as an armful of kitties. I can't remember a time in my life where I haven't had a dog around, so I have a touch with fur-babies of all sizes. I'm experienced in various play and training techniques, and I believe in positive re-enforcement instead of traditional discipline. Physical fitness is a huge part of my life, so I can run and engage in very active play sessions if that's what your dog needs. I also enjoy relaxing with older animals and giving them the gentle attention they need. I'm confident your dogs will enjoy my upbeat attitude and energy that (almost) matches theirs, and you'll appreciate my promptness and quality care for your animals well-being.

Grace is wonderfully caring and attentive - very accepting of our two older, but still demanding Goldens- strongly recommended and we hope to use her again.

Information Grace F. would like to know about your pet

Introduce your dog to me like you would introduce yourself! Anything you think I should know, I probably should. Name, age, play style, favorite spots to sniff, what treats they'll roll over for, anything you can think of. I have a soft spot for the really large dogs, but I love them all.

A typical day

I enjoy exploring new parks, but my favorites are Curtis Park and Willowmere. I find that dogs often enjoy walks in their own neighborhood though, so that will always be my first recommendation. I practice rotating forms of play so that no activity becomes disinteresting. If the pet parent if interested, I also offer basic command and potty training.
