Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal-lovers that are missing their fur babies!🐾
Hi! My name is Grace, my partner Ethan and I have recently moved from New Zealand to England for work. We have always been surrounded by animals, mostly dogs and cats - and we are missing our fur babies! We are unable to adopt an animal whilst we are here working and travelling so we would love to look after animals for you and spoil them as much as we did ours! I have looked after many animals for my friends and colleagues over my life, as well as having a large and energetic dog and three cats to take care of. I work shift work so I will be home a fair bit, usually 3-5 days a week. My partner works full time Monday to Friday so will be home every weekend while I am working. We live in an apartment complex that allows pets, with a large outdoor area that has many friendly dogs running around!

Ratings and reviews
Grace is so good with our dog Hattie we would 100% recommend
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Grace looked after my dog Kujo for two separate week long stays in one month, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the care she provided. Kujo stayed at her home both times. Although he was a bit nervous at first, he quickly settled in and was clearly comfortable — he was even excited to see her again the second time! Grace sent me daily updates with photos, which was so reassuring. Kujo always looked happy, active, and well cared for in the pictures. He got plenty of walks, playtime, and attention. It was obvious that he was in good hands. I highly recommend Grace to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!
Grace and Ethan did an awesome job looking after Phoebe! They were quick to let us know how Phoebe had settled in after dropping her off, which instantly put us at ease. Throughout our holiday we were given lots of updates and photos of what Phoebe was getting up to. We could enjoy our holiday so much more knowing that Phoebe was safe and happy. Thanks so much to you both. Phoebe is looking forward to her next stay!
Grace was great with Hattie and we would definitely like her to dog sit again. Hattie seemed relaxed and happy when we got home. Thank you for looking after her so well
Grace and her partner ensured that Baloo had a great time with them. They provided daily updates and plenty of photos on Baloo's walks and fun activities throughout the stay. I would highly recommend them, and I will definitely be booking Baloo's future stays with them.
Grace and her partner were fantastic. From start to Finish. We Will use them again. Highly recommend.

Schedule
My work timeline changes often, due to being shift work. But with enough notice, I am able to adjust my shifts to ensure your animals will have company! I work 8-12 hour shifts, so any animals that have separation anxiety may not do well with me! However, my partner works part-time only on the weekend, meaning there will always be someone home with your pet!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I would prefer to look after dogs in my own home, I will happily purchase food/treats/comfort items to make sure your pet feels welcome! And I am more than happy for you to bring items from home to ensure your pets feel more comfortable in a new environment. You will need to provide a leash to ensure I can take them out for daily walks🦮. We had a large black Labrador in NZ, so we are used to looking after a bigger, highly energetic dog. I have also looked after smaller dogs, so we are comfortable with a wide range of dogs and are happy to adjust our schedule to ensure your dogs are well-looked after.
A typical day
We will be taking your dog for a walk once a day, and will happily spend a fair amount of time playing games or practicing tricks to ensure they are well stimulated! If your dog requires more walks than one a day we are able to accommodate this. There is a large park near our house with different activities for dogs also.
