Grace can care for
Availability
I have a 30 hour/week job in libraries and I work pet-care into my off-days, or before/after a work shift. I recently adopted my own cat, so I will mostly be offering drop-in visits and dog walks, but will be available for 1-3 night housesits. Let me know you and your pet's schedule and needs, and we can see if we're a good match!

Safety, trust & environment
I like to get to know you and your pet before caring for them in order to make sure we’re a good fit (so, I do require a Meet & Greet before booking). Whether they're an energetic dog who will want a high energy walk, or a shy cat who might take some time getting used to a stranger, I want your pets to feel safe, cared for, and happy. Please note: I have a severe peanut allergy so if feeding your dog peanut butter or peanut treats is a big part of their routine, I won't be able to provide those foods, but if they can go without while in my care, that's okay!
Information Grace L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your furry kid has any specific needs or preferences so I can make sure to take care of them just like you would! Also, please let me know all expectations you have of me while your pet is in my care.
A typical day
With dogs, I love walking especially in nature areas and can safely transport your dog if that's something you're interested in! I also think it's great to have a consistent walk around the neighborhood so your dog can learn their area. With cats, I love cuddling and playing with feathers, laser toys, or whatever else your cat may like (because we all know it's a random household object rather than the toys we spend money on).

Pet care experience
Hello! I've been pet-sitting professionally since September 2023 and have done walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting for dogs and cats of various ages, sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. This includes caring for senior dogs who need mobility assistance and have a hard time hearing and seeing. I also volunteered at my local animal shelter during college, where I had weekly shifts walking, playing with, and socializing dogs in the shelter. Additionally, I have experience caring for my own pet rats, and others' rodents and reptiles (rabbit, guinea pigs, and bearded dragons). With clear instructions from you, I would love to care for any rodents, reptiles, amphibians, or birds as well! You can list these animals as "Cats" within your Rover profile.
Reviews
Grace was awesome - she was communicative, reliable, and lovely with my cat. My new go-to cat sitter!
Highly recommend! We hired Grace for a one-off dog walk while we were at a wedding and she was perfect! She followed instructions, was very self sufficient, and gave us the perfect amount of info in the walk report. We would happily hire her again :)
Great availability and service, she played with my 2 months old kitten for hours and he had a lot of fun!
Grace was so kind and communicative - my dog was well taken care of and had a great time. Would highly recommend !
