Six Feet Together: Animal Care

Pet care experience

As a lifelong animal lover, pet owner/sitter, organic gardener, and one-time competitive equestrian, I approach the care of all livings things with practical experience, profound compassion, and an abiding desire to understand each individual on their own terms. I have cared for fish, reptiles, rodents, cats, and horses, but dogs will always have a special place in my heart, and as a seasoned three-time foster parent with the City of Tallahassee Animal Services program, I have socialized, retrained, and successfully placed three shelter dogs in permanent homes. I am comfortable training leash manners and basic commands, caring for large breeds, and as an avid runner and hiker, I enjoy working with dogs with high activity requirements.

Grace is amazing! She has a very gentle and positive but confident demeanor. She has experience fostering dogs and obviously understands how to handle them. My rescue dog Ani, who has been through a lot of transitions in her life, responded immediately by giving the calmest greeting we've seen so far. Ani stayed with Grace for a three hour day care and came back tired and content from a long walk and playing in the yard. Grace also kept Ani for overnight boarding one night and it went really well. When I picked her up she wagged her tail happy to see me but was obviously comfortable where she was. I will use Grace in the future anytime Ani needs day care or boarding. Grace's genuine love of dogs and her experience make her a great choice as a dog sitter. I highly recommend her.

Grace was fantastic with my puppy! She asked about what his normal routine was, my training goals, and basically just how she could make my pets visit the best for both of us. She made sure he got lots of play, training, potty breaks, and naps - which for a puppy is super important. I knew my dog was getting individual attention and wouldn’t be overwhelmed or scared by a ton of other dogs. Thank you Grace! Would book again!

Grace has a special way with dogs. I am amazed at how well they respond to her quiet gentle manner. I trust her implicitly with my best furry friends (BFFs) and in my home. She's happy to play, walk or run with them when they have the zoomies or to sit quietly with them when they just need a companion, Best of all she is an amazing dog trainer! She stayed in my home last summer and taught both dogs how to walk *with* me on lead, how to go to their crates on command, and how to sit and stay. My home was clean, my dogs were happy and better behaved when I returned. She is safety conscious and always prompt with her communication. She is my #1 go-to dog caregiver.

I have reliable transportation to drop-in visits and walks, and offer boarding in a residence with fenced yard access, a dog park within walking distance, and no children or other pets. I am happy to provide long walks, play time, and some training. While my current circumstances as a student unfortunately do not accomodate personal longterm pet ownership, needless to say I will care for yours as if they were my own!
