Highlights
Pet care experience
cuddles, walks and a home from home
Growing up as a family of 9 (5 humans, 4 dogs) my daily routine has always revolved around walks, puppy pampering and endless cuddles! Unfortunately I don’t have a dog of my own at the moment and I can definitely feel the gap in my life where they would usually be. Therefore, I love caring for other peoples four legged family members and giving them the love and attention that I would give to my own! I provide a cosy loving home for weekend boarding, morning and evening walks. I will happily care for dogs of any age - from playful puppies to seniors who prefer a calmer slower pace and anything in between! Previously, I have raised and cared for a litter of puppies as well as caring for senior dogs with dementia. Therefore I understand the unique needs and routines each dog will have. I have experience looking after various different dog breeds, specifically springer spaniels, jack Russell terriers and miniature dachshunds. I’m very familiar with how their unique personalities require a different approach, from my clingy and energetic spaniel who loves a long walk and hates being left alone, to my sassy and stubborn sausage who wants to do everything on her own terms. I’m happy to adapt to whatever it is that they need! I currently work as a physio in the NHS and while I love caring for humans in my day job, I love to spend my weekends and evenings caring for furry friends instead! I love walking and getting my steps in (rain or shine) and there’s no better way to do that than with a dog!

Ratings and reviews
Grace was brilliant, looked after Mila all day for us and was even kind enough to drop her off. Kept us up to date all day and the dog seemed really relaxed and had a great day. Thanks Grace!
Maggie had a brilliant day with Grace. She was exhausted when I picked her up. She’d been to the park for a big walk and made some friends. Maggie is always cared for brilliantly by Grace. Already booked in again for next weekend ☺️
Good communication and Albie came back very tired and happy’
Grace was absolutely amazing. So friendly and I knew she’d look after Maggie really well. Would definitely recommend and will use again in the future. Thank you ☺️

Hi Rover! Grace R has grown up in a doggy household and has always looked after them. Grace enjoys walking and playing with our dogs and sitting with cuddly older one too, she has experience bringing up a litter of puppies and has a responsible attitude to all areas of their care. I have no hesitation in recommending Grace as a dog sitter.

Schedule
I’m available for weekend boarding so both you and your pups can enjoy a weekend getaway! A typical weekend for me usually involves several longer walks, trips to lark lane and cosy evenings watching TV. I usually work 8.30-4.30 during the week however at times my schedule can be flexible. I’m an early riser and love a walk before or after work - or both!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure fenced back garden with a small patch of grass where your dog can happily play. In my home dogs are welcome wherever they are happiest whether that is in their own crate or bed or on the sofa with me. There are no children or other pets in the house so they will have all the attention to themselves!
