8 Years of Professional Experience
Pet care experience
I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed through the CCPDT, so you know your dog will always be in good hands. Most of my dog experience comes from the five years I spent working at a doggy daycare/boarding/grooming facility, the 4 years I trained service dogs for PawPADs in undergrad, and working with several board and train clients in the past year. I also have fostered several dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments over the years, so I am comfortable working with any personality of pup. My personal dogs are a Staffordshire Terrier/Cattle Dog and a Border Collie, so I am used to high energy breeds as well! I am a graduate student at Minnesota State University, Mankato, and I am looking to help out with dog walking or drop-in visits for your furry friend. Please reach out if you think I’d be a good match for you and your dog!
Reviews
Grace did a great job with my dog and I will absolutely rebook in the future
Grace is great with our dog and cat. I know they are well loved while we are away. I feel lucky to have found someone trustworthy and caring.
Grace did an excellent job with my nervous babies this weekend!! Buster, my dog, is extremely anxious with new people, and Grace was kind and patient with him. She kept me updated each time she was there and went above and beyond with the communication and pictures. She made sure they were well taken care of and washed some things Buster had dirtied. I will definitely use her again. Thank you!
Grace has been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. She worked in a doggie day care for seven years and is a certified dog trainer. She is very responsible, dependable, honest and trustworthy. I have witnessed her interactions with her own dogs as well as the dogs she fostered and would highly recommend her for any dog related services she could provide.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very flexible with how you would like me to stop by to either pick up your dog (for walks) or let them out/spend time with them (for drop-ins). Please let me know your preferences when you book!
Information Grace K. would like to know about your pet
I would love to hear about any special needs (physical or behavioral) beforehand as well as any feeding/medication requirements. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or is on a special diet and can’t receive particular treats.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on walks or hikes and am always happy to fit in a game of fetch or some form of enrichment, especially for my drop-in clients to keep their mind busy until the next drop-in.
Services
Grace can watch in your home
Availability
I am a full-time graduate student, but my class schedule allows me to be pretty flexible most days. I can always leave campus for an hour or two in between classes to come visit your pup.
