Big Fenced Yard with Friends
Pet care experience
Hello there! I have five dogs (Timothy, Eugene, Annie, Howard, and Della) and two indoor cats (Ingrid and Agnes), and I would love to take care of your dogs while you're out of town! I have a three bedroom home with a big fenced-in backyard (privacy fence). I’m currently working from home most days and when I do go into the office, it is for five hours or less. Why I love dog sitting I always wanted a dog as a child, but my parents were not "dog people". So when I moved out for college, I went straight to the local animal shelter and got my first dog, Dottie, in 2008. Since then, the pack has grown through strays who joined the pack after searches to find their owners didn’t turn up anything and rescue pups. About my yard I have a fenced-in backyard, with plenty of shade. There’s a sandbox for the pups who love to dig and if the weather’s nice, there’s a puppy pool! My experience administering medication I am confident with oral and topical medications, but have never had to give injections. I have placed lines for fluids though.
Reviews
Lemmy had such a great time with Grace! Grace is very attentive and very responsive and took such good care of Lemmy. All the pictures that Gray sent of Lemmy. It was so clear that Lemmy was having the best time, she even let him borrow a little sweater when he was looking cold. 10/10 will definitely be reaching out to Grace again!
Our little guy, Will, had such an amazing time at Grace’s house!! She was a wonderful communicator, provided photo updates every day and we could tell our boy was in great hands!! We will definitely be using Grace in the future! Highly recommend her. Thanks Grace for loving on our little man!
Grace was very responsive and took great care of our pup!
Grace is wonderful.

I have a large fenced-in yard and five built-in playmates! The dogs have a dog door for going to the outside, but I do not let guest dogs stay out unsupervised.
Home
Information Grace L. would like to know about your pet
The biggest question we have for any potential client is if the dog is dog- or cat-aggressive. Since we have both, we need to make sure everyone is safe.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Typically we stick to running around the backyard, but I can definitely take your dog on walks if they prefer that. We have a pretty big neighborhood to walk around! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog can sleep wherever he or she would like! My dogs typically rotate themselves out between sleeping on the bed with me and sleeping on one of the two large dog beds on the floor next to me. Time I'll spend with your dog I typically work from home, so I’m able to let pups out for bathroom breaks throughout the day. Typically everyone sleeps near my desk while I work and after my workday is done, we go outside to run around, play fetch, and just enjoy the outside air.

I’m working from home most days, so I’m around for frequent bathroom breaks and midday play sessions! On the days I do have to go in, I go in for no more than five hours.
