I am very capable of handling multiple dogs at once and love giving them lots of love and attention. I love all breeds of dogs! Happy to provide advanced care and medications if needed.

I love taking dogs on long walks or to dog parks- whatever environment is best suited for your dog! I am very adaptable to dogs needs.

Location

Grace G.'s Neighborhood

Animal loving medical student

Pet care experience

I am a medical student who loves all animals and is very reliable and trustworthy. My dog of 15 years passed away last year (he’s in my profile pic, Bentley<3). He was with me from high school until medical school so I truly understand how big of a part of your life your animals become and how much love they bring & deserve in return. I am not able to adopt a new buddy of my own right now due to school, so Rover has brought me so much joy to be able to care for others as if they were my own! I have experience with many different breeds and both puppies and senior dogs. *I have now finished classes for the semester and will be home full time studying for my first board exams so I can be with your doggos all day :)*

Grace took such great care of Chloe! She took her on wonderful walks, played with her and sent adorable photos and videos while we were away. Chloe warmed up to her quickly. We highly recommend Grace!

Fabulous with answering msgs. We are visiting from out of town and needed to find some help. Grace took great care of our dog!

Grace is amazing, would 100% recomend and use again in the future!! She was instantly comfortable meeting my senior dog and treated Lacey like her own. The flexibility for a pre-meet, pick up, and drop-off were so appreciated to fit around our flight times. I mentioned Lacey can walk up to 3 miles but isn't the easiest sometimes to walk, but they went on so many long adventures around Portland and the Back Cove and I loved the photo updates. I'm printing some of the photos they were so perfect! Lacey was totally spoiled by all the care and cuddles.
