Pet care experience
Hi there, my name is Grace I am 24 years old and I have been around dogs all my life. I grew up around Great Danes, a Brittany Spaniel, Labrador Retriever, and a Manchester terrier mix so I am not afraid of larger dogs. Each of them had their own great personality and I loved being able to spoil them. Now that I am older I have taken up pet sitting as well as dog walking to fill the void of not being able to adopt a dog of my own (due to my apartments no dog policy). I have been pet sitting for 5 years now and some of my past experiences include looking after two older dogs and a cat for over one month, daily check-ins with house cats while their owners are out of town and daily walks/dog park trips with single and multi dog family's while their owners are at work.
Reviews
Grace was fabulous and very responsive. We had to make adjustments in the schedule and she was easily able to respond. Ridgey loved playing in the pool and the yard. She spoiled him! I would not hesitate to have Grace housesit with Ridge! She was a great companion! Kathy Entrekin
Grace is great with our dogs. The dogs are always happy to see Grace. She takes them on walks an plays with them so they come home worn out.
For several years now, Grace has kept my 3 dogs and 1 cat in my home for as long as 3 weeks at a time while we've been traveling. She's done an excellent job, sends me photos of the beasts, and when she pulls into the driveway, all 3 dogs are excited to run out to greet her, tails a-wagging. She also comes by on occasion for me to let them out or feed them if I will be late coming home. She takes them for walks and makes each feel special. She's also very good at making sure any medication or special food is given. She's well worth her fees! Dog breeds I know she's watched include Brittany, Labrador, Chow-Chow mix, pug, American Staffordshire (pitbull), and assorted cats. Grace has moved away so I won't be able to use her services anymore, but I highly recommend her .

I currently live in a one bedroom apartment with my long term boyfriend who has grown up with dogs his whole life too! While our apartment itself may not have any pet amenities, behind our complex is a wonderful neighborhood with sidewalks on almost every street and large trees that shade everyplace you walk. The apartment is also a 5 minute drive to the dog park!
Information Grace K. would like to know about your pet
- Are they allowed treats and if so which ones do they enjoy? - Is there an activity that your pet enjoys doing that we can do as a special treat? - If you have multiple dogs, do you let them eat together? - Any allergies or medication I need to be aware of?
A typical day
A typical day with me includes at least one walk outside (long or short depending on what your pet likes), lots of play time together, and plenty of love/pets/scratches (treats too if allowed)!
