Flexible schedule, long walks!

Pet care experience

I am a dog-lover who, unfortunately, cannot have a dog of my own due to work-travel. I live in a spacious, dog-friendly apartment in the Courthouse neighborhood. I currently work about 10 minutes away from my home, which would make for an easy mid-day walk, if necessary -- I also work remotely from my home frequently so can arrange to work from home if your dog feels more comfortable. I have an extra large-size dog crate and bed in case you are unable to transport your own. I am an avid outdoor exerciser, and plan to be taking your dog on long walks (hikes sometimes) in the many neighborhood parks, or dog parks. My apartment building has a small, fenced dog-friendly area, and I live on the ground floor for easy outdoor access. I have only owned small to mid-sized dogs (Beagle, Spaniel mix, Chihuahua mix) but am comfortable with larger dogs as well. I have experience with senior dogs and feel comfortable administering oral medication if necessary.

Grace was awesome! My dog, Spring, loved her immediately (Spring is generally friendly, but there's only a special few that she'll go into full-body-wiggle-mode for). Grace sent me status updates and pictures over the weekend, and was very responsive when I messaged her. I really appreciated Grace's willingness to stay with Spring for basically the whole weekend, as Spring has separation anxiety and can't be left alone. Spring came home happy and exhausted. :-)

Grace is a true dog lover! She has walked my dog a number of times, and I have found her to be very affectionate, loving and in control. She is also very responsible and extremely trustworthy. I highly recommend Grace for your dog walking and pet sitting needs. Amy

Information Grace K. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any separation anxiety or issues being alone? If so, how does this anxiety manifest itself? How does your dog usually spend its time alone: in crate or free-reign of the house?

A typical day

I love to go on hikes and long walks. I live 5 minutes from the Mount Vernon Trail and Roosevelt Island, and would love to take your dog on a daily adventure! If your dog enjoys the dog park, there are 2 approximately 10 minutes away. Frisbee and tennis balls will be involved ( if your dog digs those kinds of things)!
