Highlights
Pet care experience
Active Professor + Dog Devotee
Hello I’m Grace! I work remotely in tech as a design researcher but I’m on Rover simply because life is better when I get to spend time with dogs. I am experienced with all size dogs and activity levels. I walked for Wag for a few years during grad school and completed hundreds of walks and stays. I’m first aid and CPR trained and can administer medicine and work with elderly or special needs dogs. I have experience with all types of dog leashes. I had a dog growing up and I spent my high school years volunteering at the West Valley Animal Shelter (over 200 hrs). During house sittings I only attend to one household at a time so your dog will have my full attention. Hours of time for play and cuddles. I’m also happy to let your dog sleep in bed with me if that’s preferred too! In my spare time I'm an obstacle course racer, rock climber, canyoneer, and mountain climber (climbed Mt Whitney, Baldy, and some places in the Sierras recently). I can perform well in high stress, challenging situations where adaptability and problem solving is key. I also taught research part time in a masters degree program for 5 years. I’ve also become interested in dog psychology more recently and am learning more about it.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for my pets like my family! I am respectful of any household rules or boundaries. I can provide multiple walks and multiple meals per day. I try to leave the home as good (or better) than when I first arrived.
Ratings and reviews
Grace is the best! So attentive to Duke! Duke connected with her immediately. Such a blessing we found you grace!!!!
Grace is amazing! She took great care of my dog, he seemed so happy. She sent the right amount of updates and pictures and let me know about a power outage while I was away. Would definitely book her again!
Phenomenal across the board. Would book again in a heartbeat.
Grace is fantastic! She took my pup on great walks, and sent me tons of photos. I came home to a very happy and well cared for dog. Thank you grace!
Grace is an amazing dog sitter and we would recommend her to anyone. She stayed in touch daily and shared photos/videos to show us how Ruby was doing, going above and beyond with her care. We were able to truly relax during our vacation knowing Ruby was in great hands. We would hire her again in a heartbeat.
Grace was fantastic! My elderly, medically fragile dog was in great shape when I got home. All the while, Grace sent photos and updates that eased my mind. It was a complicated regimen, and she got everything right! She was also very responsible about the key and other aspects as she stayed in my house. Couldn't be better, I highly recommend Grace!

Schedule
I work from home and typically will have a few meetings scattered from 7am -5pm. Since my work is flexible, I can block off an hour or two during that time for dog-walking breaks. Before work and after work I'm absolutely happy to get those steps in for a long walk!
