They call me the dog whisperer!
Pet care experience
Hello! I hope to treat your fur-baby as I would my own. I’ve raised 3 dogs since early childhood and adore animals in general. I’ve lost my own dog recently and would enjoy loving on your pet! I have over 25 years of experience in caring for all life stages from puppy to senior and am extremely attentive and quick to recognize signs of ill health or concerning behaviors. I can handle pets with separation anxiety, have on-going health issues, or need extra training. I’ve taken care of friends’ cats and understand what they are communicating through their tails, so they are welcome as well! I live in a pet-friendly condominium and like to take walks in parks nearby. Besides my love for dogs, I enjoy hiking, photography, learning the cello, reading, movies, and spending time at the beach. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask me. Thank you and hope to meet you and your pet soon! -Grace
Reviews
Grace took care of my senior cat and senior dog in her home for 2 weeks while my husband and I celebrated our honeymoon, and I can’t thank her enough! My cat can be a little difficult and very antisocial, so I was nervous to have someone new watch her for so long. Within the first couple of days into our trip, Grace was sending me photos of my cat exploring her home and even laying close to her on her couch, and it really put my mind at ease! I could tell that both of my golden girls were comfortable at Grace’s home and were very well taken care of while we were gone. My cat takes medication orally 2x/day, and my dog also takes a senior multivitamin pill daily, and Grace was able to make sure they received those according to schedule. I would definitely recommend Grace for all of your pet-sitting needs, and I’ll certainly contact her again for any of our future trips! Thanks again, Grace!
Grace was wonderful. Great communication via photos and texts. We saw that Ada ventured out and got play time with other dogs. The pick up and drop off service was very helpful. Thank you so much.
Grace saved the day!! We needed help on short notice and Grace swooped in like a super hero!! Grace was super responsive and provided lots of updates and pics of her time with Winnie. Our Winnie is a nervous old soul and she warmed right up to Grace. We returned to a very happy dog that clearly enjoyed her afternoon and Grace's attentions. We look forward to using Grace again in the future!!
Grace looked after our dogs while we were to a basketball game. They had a great time and we get safe knowing they were in good hands.

⭐️ I live in a safe and modern condominium community which allows pets. I have access to an enclosed dog run where dogs can release energy around and play. I also have a grass mat outside that dogs like to pee/poop on. I will be home throughout the entire time I will be sitting your pet.
