Hi, I’m Grace—I live near downtown Riverside, and I’m here to help you with your dog walking and pet-sitting needs! I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits and guinea pigs, and since I came out here for school, I’ve missed the unconditional love and companionship that my pets provided back home. I spent five years volunteering at the ARF animal shelter, where I was trained in feeding, playing with, walking, bathing and giving medication to dogs. I also worked on a ranch for four years in high school where I was responsible for feeding and caring for horses, sheep, goats, chickens and alpacas. I learned how each type of animal has a distinct personality and I enjoy getting to know each one as an individual. I have a background in customer service and have learned how to elevate my care to exceed the expectations of my clients. As a friendly and often-described people person, I really love jobs where I get to connect with others and caring for your pup is no exception. I understand that trust is not easily given, so I do all I can to go above and beyond in ensuring your dog is well taken care of and you are happy. I am self-aware and am sensitive to others’ feelings. When I’m doing a job, I make sure to pay attention to the details to provide my best work. I am punctual, responsible, will respond to requests quickly and I can get along with anyone, especially animals!
