Pet care experience

Part-time care, full-time pet lover

Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile! Dogs and cats are a wonderful part of life. They’re family and, just as I would want to do for mine, you want to make sure they’re sitter is a good fit for them. Here are a few reasons why I think I would be a great pet sitter for your pets! 1.) I'm experienced with both dogs and cats— I grew up with 3 yellow labs, 2 cats, and even 2 goats. Pets are one of the greatest joys and, while I can’t wait to have my own dog one day, I’d love to watch your pets in the meantime. I’ve been around all sorts of animal behaviors including excitement, barking, stubborn, jumpy, friendly, a dog needing a lot of attention, etc., and I am comfortable in dealing with all of of them. 2.) I love all and can’t wait to walk, feed, and love on your pets. I am such an animal person. I love playing with pets and spending time with them. They provide a unique and incredible companionship that I miss very much, which is why I would love to keep your pets company while you are away! 3.) friends and family have relied on mg to walk, feed, and care for their pets. I often dog sit for my parents, and have good experience caring for pets in DC, too. 4.) My schedule is very flexible! I am willing to come up with a schedule that works for you. I am available for walks, overnights, and drop in visits all week— though, do ask for at least two-day’s notice for weekend dog sitting.

Safety, trust & environment

I’d focus my drop in time in playing with your dog and getting outside for a walk to experience the neighborhood. I’d give your dog lots of pets and the occasional treat, if allowed, and I can easily crate your dog when I leave.

Grace moved mountains to fulfill her commitment to care for our dog Rosie when she had some travel delays on a personal trip, which saved us from scrambling to fill the gap! So professional and Rosie always loves her time with her - lots of love and exercise and play.

Grace was wonderful. She took great care of my dog and my home for a full week. I will definitely be reaching out to her again.

Great as always! Our dog was being picky with his food and taking his meds, and Grace was very patient! She kept us updated consistently which is always so appreciated.

Truly cannot speak highly enough of having Grace stay with our 8 mo old lab puppy while we were out of town. She not only took incredible care of our home but was so kind and patient in dealing with Rosie's digestive upset (I.e. lots of cleanup...) as well as disposing of a dead rodent Rosie foraged at one point in the yard 🤢 above and beyond, for sure, and we hope to work with Grace again in the future if she wasn't scared away!

I'd like to know if your dog gets along with other dogs. I've watched dogs who are a bit on edge around other dogs and find it is helpful to know ahead of time so I can know to avoid other dogs, etc. & do you allow your dog on the furniture?
