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.
