Pet care experience
I have taken care of my friend's cockapoo puppy named Betty for one year. More specifically, I dogsat and walked Betty as well as arranged several puppy play dates with other neighbors' dogs. When Betty got very dirty from these playdates, I bathed her with the specific dog shampoo and conditioner. Overall, I am confident in being able to care for both puppies and dogs of all breeds. I also am confident with catsitting as I have visited numerous friends and their cats, as well as, learning material on cat behavior on YouTube.
Reviews
Grace watched my dog Atlas for three days over the long weekend. He is somewhat of a needy dog who needs oral medication and lots of attention. Grace was great and stayed at my house for longer than I asked, which I appreciated. She even did all my dirty dishes when I was gone, which was amazing, as I left the kitchen a mess when I left. I was truly surprised she cleaned for me. Atlas was happy when I got home and was obviously well taken care of. She communicated with me all weekend and I was confident my dog was in good hands. I definitely will be booking Grace in the future!
We left our trained puppy (8 months old) with Grace while traveling for a long weekend. Based on her other reviews, I thought she’d be a perfect fit, however that was unfortunately not the case. She made herself a little too comfortable in our home; asking to use our personal items as such is just one example. As for her taking care of our dog, she did not properly follow directions for her. We did get updates throughout the day, but updates such as “she is barking at the door.” Someone who is a dog sitter should know why a dog is barking. She also advertises in her bio that she will leave your house clean and how you left it. We came home from an exhausting trip to a messy house : Pans not put away with some also dirty, dirty countertops, dirty cup in other room, a completely full dishwasher with no silverware left in the drawer, smelly trash, smelly food items in the fridge. Not to mention, our dogs water bowl was completely empty. It’s just not something any homeowner should come back to. Also, make a note that she does not have a car and uses public transportation, which is fine if she lives by you, but if you do not, add the travel time which is away from your pup!
Grace took awesome care of Koda!! Kept me posted the whole weekend of their activities, with lots of photos. She was responsive, caring, and responsible. Thank you, Grace!! Know Koda had a great time with you ?
As always, Grace takes great care of Cora. I’m grateful that I can be sure my little girl is in good hands.

I do not offer pet care services in my own home because of landlord reasons. However, I guarantee that I will leave your home as you left it as! If desired, I will also help in cleaning / tidying your home.
Information Grace L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know what things I need to look out for when caring for your pet. I would prefer if your dog is friendly to both other humans and other dogs. I have taken care of dogs that do not like other dogs, but it was more difficult. I also would highly prefer if your dog has gone through some sort of obedience school training, especially in terms of its safety and wellbeing (i.e. not escaping while on a walk).
A typical day
I will make sure to have lots of fun activities planned for your dog depending on your dogs' physical and emotional needs! I would love to play with them with their toys, take them out to walks around the neighborhood and to a dog-friendly park, and promise to give them all of my attention and affection through cuddles and pets! If your dog needs a lot of exercise and likes to go running, we can go to a dog-friendly park and run together on the grassy field (of course with me holding onto the leash).
