Daughter of a Veterinarian

Pet care experience

I have grown up with multiple dogs my whole life, big and small. My dad is a Veterinarian and has owned his practice for over 30 years. I spent my childhood playing with all breeds of dogs and comforting the sick ones. In high school I worked at his veterinary practice as a veterinary technician assistant. In college I rescued a senior aged golden retriever who lived with me for four years before passing away. Currently I own a five year old Yorkie-Poo who loves to go on long walks and plays with any size dog! Whether your dog is high energy or low, I’ll keep the walk going at their pace. I’m happy to take them on jogs if they need to run it out, or play fetch at the park. I am comfortable administering medication and always have a veterinarian on speed dial if there is an emergency (My dad, brother, uncle, or three cousins). I understand your dog is your family and I promise to take care of him/her!

Grace is amazing in her care of our dogs. She has a huge heart and playful personality yet responsible always. Super great attention to detail, follows my instructions to a T. She’s even taught my dogs how to walk nicer on their leashes. She even saved a puppy that was dumped in a box with her two dead siblings, and went on to find it a new home after caring for it by bringing it to the vet and paying out of pocket for all of its care. She’s a gem! And you can leave your pets with her knowing how loved they’ll be. I know she had a lot of experience with diff types of pets like exotics so if you have those, she’s your pet sitter!

Great experience with Grace! She was very accommodating with drop off and pick up timed. Sent us numerous pictures and our dog had a great time with her and Irene. Will definitely use again!

Grace was a fantastic dog-sitter for my two pups! She took care of them so well, loved on them like I would, and made me so relieved while I was gone. She went above and beyond what I expected her to do with them. She sent consistent updates and pictures that I really loved and appreciated, and she was easy to touch base with throughout the entire process. Not only would I highly recommend her but I hope to have her take care of George and Thomas again soon! ???

There isn’t another person I’d have take care of my ‘baby’ than Grace. She is polite, loving, affectionate and reliable. A dedicated animal lover who would be an asset to your company. Her quick smile and amenable attitude will be loved by all customers No hesitation in recommending her. Absolutely adore her!!

Information Grace J. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any aggressive tendencies? Is your dog up to date on vaccines? Is your dog friendly towards other dogs? I do not have a breed preference.

A typical day

I love the outdoors and frequently take my dog on hikes. Depending on where you live will determine what our walk looks like. I am happy to jog with your dog, bring your dog to a dog park, play fetch with the dog or just a regular 30 minute walk. I grew up in the Midwest, so bad weather does not deter me and cause cancelations. Random rain and snow storms are the norm!
