Pet care experience
~I am always here to serve, contact me with any questions about my rates/prices, and see what I can offer you! Pricing varies with location/services/and needs~ Dogs have ALWAYS been a passion of mine, they will forever have my heart! When loving a dog, you’ll eventually have to leave them alone to go on vacation or maybe you’re wanting to go to the gym during your break, but the dog still needs walked… but you can’t bring your pup to the gym with ya! If you’re anything like me I would take mine anywhere if possible—with no hesitation! 😅 So, I fully understand the struggle of finding someone trustworthy enough to care for your baby(ies), it’s hard & nerve racking! But, going into this 13 years ago, I wanted to make YOU & your DOG my priority. I wanted to be reliable. Trusting, and honest with excellent work ethic. I have established this and applied it to dog sitting. a part of my daily routine. If you’re nervous about leaving your dog(s), or if it’s their first time with a sitter, I will go above & beyond to comfort them, giving them the best experience you’ll find here! Walks, tug toys, and balls for exercise & entertainment! I am exceptionally experience with all dog breeds, sizes, ages & temperaments. My goal is to bring you the opportunity to have a peaceful vacation/getaway! No worries, no stress, no asking twice for pictures or updates of your baby(ies)! There is no dog that I do not love!:) I have been house and pet sitting since 2010 and still love it. I am willing to come meet you and your pups before you schedule to see if I am a good match for your family. I will send photo updates and am available for phone call or text check ins! I can also check your mail and water your plants if needed. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have! I look forward to meeting you and your fur-baby! I am currently working split shifts, I live next door to work so I am able to run right back over! I give frequent potty breaks every 2-4 hours, even if I am at work, I can come let them out, I never work longer than 5 hours straight. Always time for playing, walks, and belly rubs! I don’t work nights, so I will be 100% present by 6pm. I live in the upstairs of a house with a separate entrance, (photos available upon request if we do not schedule a meet-n-greet). I do not have any dogs or cats currently, but I do have a rabbit! Her name is Cookie and she loves to meet different dogs, but will stay separate during your stay so your pets can have the best experience possible while they are here with me. Safety is my top priority! I have a locking gate on my deck outside my door (only exit). I also use xpens-a 3’ free standing extendable gate that I can place around the door entrance if you have one who runs out when at any chance given. I work split shifts, and can provide very frequent potty breaks during my work shift. I also work within walking distance of my home so if you board with me I will be available to them at any time while I am at work. I am off on the weekends and am always home by 5:30 pm. Would love to spend my evenings and nights with some puppy love! I care for the pets trusted to me like they are my own! All are welcome on the couch/bed (unless requested not to) and unlimited cuddles and play time. I don’t do much outside of work so I am present more so than not and your pets will be excited to see me again, guaranteed! <3
Reviews
Perfect!
Grace is such a kind soul! I was so nervous about having to leave my Aussie, Rocky with a stranger so I could go visit my grandmother out of state. She was so attentive to all my questions and concerns. She made sure to send lots of pictures because she knew I missed him so much. She even took him on walks without me asking. I appreciate her so much with all the care she provided while I was out of town. I will definitely be booking with her again as soon as I need someone to watch my baby!
Grace has been watching our dogs for a couple years now, and we still love her! A friend recommended her services to us and she has always been reliable, professional, and GREAT with our dogs, they are always excited to see her! It is not uncommon for her to go out of her way to make things happen in a crunch—my husband and I are so thankful for a dog loving sitter we can trust!
Grace did an amazing job with our pups this last week. She kept us in the loop, sent pics and was very patient with the dogs! We hope Grace can watch our dogs again when we go out of town!

Watching your dogs in your home can be easy peasy or tricky! With years of experience I’ve come to know that, even if you have the best dogs in the world, they can still miss you or get homesick for normality and act out with accidents or not eating, etc. I always watch this throughout the entire stay, especially with new clients. I always leave your house cleaner than I found it, I can check your mail, take out your trash, water your plants, bring in any packages delivered inside, and I will pick up dog poop from your yard. I am also willing to bring my own sheets/blankets, or if you provide a guest bed, etc., the sheets will be washed and dried and bed made when you return. I respect your house rules, I will not let dogs on furniture if they are not allowed and I will happily let them sleep under the blankets if that’s which they are used to!

Information Grace L. would like to know about your pet
Although I am feel confident to handle any odd situation or problem when it comes to dogs, here are some important safety questions I will ask if you book with me! If there is anything you might be concerned about, let me know and we can talk about my experience! HOUSE SITTING: 1 dog: • Are they fully house trained? • Are they crate trained? • Allowed on Furniture? • Do they chew? • Do they get put up if I leave the house? • Do you leash walk or let run loose when going potty? Do you let out into a fence? • Are they aggressive in any way? (I.e. fear aggressive, toy aggressive, are they territorial…) • Fearful/Aggressive towards men? • How do they act around children? • Jumps fences? • Information on all medications added questions for 2 or more dogs: • Can they sleep in the same room/area together? • Can your dogs eat in the same room together?
A typical day
Oh, so much! I am so easily entertained by just watching them get excited and hyper over someone wanting to play with them. I will play their favorite games of fetch, I even have had a clients dog play hide n seek with me! You may soon realize, I will talk to them like they are people, ask them questions and making comments, all while giving scratches here & there! I will always send you pictures as I take them! I send some daily.

Pet sitting is so natural to me, it doesn’t even feel like work. However it does cut into my personal free time. I have given up my weekends with my own family and dogs to be able to provide this service to my community, so to be able to continue offering overnights, I will be there each night for $120 ($ charge through this app…it is slightly less when booked privately). I also work a full-time job, or I would be happy to be there longer. I can request time during my lunch break from work to complete a midday check-in (+$44) before returning after I get off that afternoon! I can also do dog walking!
