Availability

Pet care is already a part of my everyday routine, both personally and professionally. I work in the pet care field during the week, so caring for animals is something I do daily and genuinely enjoy. At this time, my availability is primarily on weekends, which are generally open unless I communicate otherwise in advance. I’m very upfront about my schedule and always make sure expectations are clear so pets receive consistent, attentive care. Because pet care is already a major part of my life, I’m comfortable building it into my routine and giving each dog the time, patience, and attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, loving, and secure environment. Exercise and playtime are a big part of my approach to care. I make sure each dog gets appropriate physical activity and mental stimulation based on their age, energy level, and routine. Along with plenty of play and affection, I stay consistent with the basics, regular feeding, fresh water at all times, and close attention to each pet’s needs and behavior. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with complete respect. I follow all instructions carefully, maintain routines, and make sure the home is left just as it was found. I believe trust is earned through reliability, communication, and genuine care, and I always strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.

Information Grace H. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know as much as possible about your dog so I can provide the best care. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, medical considerations, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of, including feeding schedules, medications, mobility needs, or anxieties. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes and believe every dog deserves patience, understanding, and respect. Open communication helps me tailor care to your dog’s personality and needs, and it ensures a safe, positive experience for everyone.

A typical day

A typical day with me is centered around keeping dogs happy, comfortable, and engaged. I start by making sure all basic needs are met, feeding on schedule, fresh water, and potty breaks, then move into plenty of exercise and playtime. I love keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated through walks, play, and exploration. We’ll spend time playing games, getting fresh air, and checking out new smells, whether that’s getting the tea around the neighborhood or during outdoor time that matches their energy level. I always adjust activities based on a dog’s age and needs, making sure senior dogs get gentler care while younger or high, energy dogs get plenty of movement. Throughout the day, there’s lots of affection, reassurance, and one-on-one attention. My goal is for every dog to feel relaxed, loved, and right at home.

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Grace aka the dog whisperer 😊 Caring for dogs is truly my passion, both at home and professionally. I have two dogs of my own, one who is two years old and one who is eleven, so I’m very familiar with the different needs, energy levels, temperaments, and care styles that come with both puppies/young adults and senior dogs. Aside from that, I have a rescue dog of my own who is two years old. I currently work as a canine care specialist and kennel attendant, where I care for dogs every day of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. From very small dogs to large breeds like Great Danes and Great Pyrenees, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of needs. My responsibilities include feeding, potty breaks, safe socialization, and making sure each dog is comfortable, secure, and well cared for. I approach every dog with patience, compassion, and attentiveness, and I always treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide loving, reliable care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease.

Grace is awesome! Took great care of Daisy on very short notice. Was professional and kept a good eye on Daisy and kept her active with lots of photos. Can’t recommend Grace highly enough!!

Grace has dog sat for us numerous times and each time goes above and beyond any expectations. Her love & well-being for any dog is priceless. Always the first person we turn to, and who our dog looks forward to seeing!

I have personally known Grace and her family for her entire life. She loves dogs and cares for them as if they were her own. She follows my instructions that I leave for my dog. She sends me pictures of him. My home is always exactly how I left it. She communicates promptly with me before and while I am gone if there are any additional questions or requests. I am completely comfortable leaving with my dog with her for any length of time and highly recommend her!

We’ve known Grace for years. She is kind, loving, responsible and the biggest pet lover! She has watched our lab overnight a few times in the past but my husband and I recently went on an extended trip. She stayed at our place with our dog the whole time. Texted us photos and updates! The peace of mind it gave us knowing she was with her is something we can’t even fully put into words. I would highly recommend Grace for Rover!
