Pet care experience
Hello! I've grown up working with, loving, cuddling, and training all sizes of dogs, from rhodesian ridgebacks to overweight pomeranians. I understand the firm and gentle care that scared dogs need, and more than anything, I loooooove all kinds of pups. I'm just trying to spend more time around some lovely pets, since I can't have any of my own right now. I'm located in Brooklyn Heights, but willing to travel. I'm interested in dog walking, dog sitting, and especially dog running. I want to give your energetic puppies the excitement and fun that they need. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! I am always free in the morning, and am free after four during weekdays. Weekends are always wide open :)
Reviews
Grace Linderholm is a family friend whom we have known all her life. She grew up with dogs and is very comfortable even with difficult ones! Her first experience began as a small child disciplining her family's very alpha lab/chow mix. At age 4, she was responsible for putting their dog through her paces before she could have her dinner! With that background Grace has been quite comfortable with our difficult dog, Chester, who can be aggressive, because he is quite fearful. She has stayed at our house while we were out of town and has taken him to our local dog park for exercise. She is calm and positive, energetic and athletic. I would highly recommend Grace for dog walking and running, and even house/dog sitting. Grace is responsible, experienced and comfortable with dogs, even those who need special attention like our Chester!
Grace loves dogs. They are all her friends. But she is also completely responsible and will look after your dog and make sure that it is safe, happy and well exercised. She's polite, personable, and caring. You couldn't trust your dog to a better person. Seriously.
Big dog? Little dog? High strung? Mellow to the point of melting? Grace is a genius at all types of dog. Grace is also extraordinarily responsible and reliable. If she says she'll be there, she'll be there, and on time. Grace has nutured a lifelong devotion to canines of all variety. She has years of experience seeing to their needs - physical, nutritional, and emotional - reveling in the joy of furry life! A day with Grace is a day that's great.

Information Grace L. would like to know about your pet
All dogs are different! I'd love to talk with you about what makes your dog unique- what its favorite treats are, how it likes to be petted, what makes it scared, whether it likes to watch tv with you, and how it makes friends.
A typical day
Basically, I want to spend every second possible with your dog. I'm a college student who works from home, and I like to paint in my apartment. We have a lot of natural light that pets tend to love. I like to start off my days early with a walk, which all dogs are welcome to join me on. Since I don't have any pets of my own, I like to fully invest myself in the dogs that stay with me. I started to train my dog when I was four- she was the runt of her litter, and a little skittish. I've socialized show dogs, cared for abused rescues, and loved dogs of all sizes. I have experience dealing with stressed and aggressive dogs. All dogs need is patience, firmness, and a lot of love. I like to let dogs come to me. I know that we'll get along eventually :)
