Dog-lover who will run with dog!
Pet care experience
Hi! I have a lot of experience in the Pet Care field. I have worked for countless families with dogs and cats ranging all ages as well as worked at the Humane Rescue Alliance, an animal rescue league, where I adopted my own dog, Tyde. I have provided dog walking, overnight pet care in owner's home as well as check-ins and visits for animals. I am also a Wag! Certified Dog Walker/Sitter! I have my driver's license as well as my own car. As a former collegiate athlete, I am super active and will take your dog on long walks and/or runs. Working in the Pet Care field would give me the exact experience I am looking for. I enjoy working with dogs and creating high levels of service for customers. In short, I hold a huge place in my heart for dogs and am very organized, a bit of a neat freak, as well as a team player, which is evident in my eight-year field hockey career. I look forward to meeting your pups and providing them with the best care.
Reviews
My dog LOVED Grace. I think she was a bit depressed when she came home because she missed her. Grace was a great doggy sitter, she took my dog hiking, and running.. and sent me great pics and updates. My dog received lots of cuddles and fun, on a weekend that her mommy was too busy with life.. worked out perfectly. I’ll definitely be booking with Grace again!
Grace has walked our dog for over three months on a consistent basis. She is fantastic with her and our labrador looks forward to seeing her every day at 3:00 (even waits by the door). We have also asked Grace on occasion to feed her and she has done everything asked with a smile on her face. My wife and I could not recommend anyone higher.

Information Grace R. would like to know about your pet
I love all dog breeds and ages! The only thing I would like to know about a dog before sitting him or her is if they have any medications they need to take or any restrictions for play/exercise.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on long walks, runs and/or hikes. I am a super active person so whenever I am getting exercise, I would love to have a companion with me. I also have a huge backyard that I can play fetch with your dog in.

Night Routine: • Before bedtime, I take your pet for a final bathroom break and set up a cozy sleeping space. • I allow for some relaxation time, ensuring your pet feels secure and comfortable. Weekends: • Weekends offer opportunities for extended activities, such as longer walks, outdoor adventures, and visits to a dog park. • I reserve weekends for grooming, veterinary appointments, and any additional care your pet may require. Additional Strategies: • I prioritize routine consistency to provide stability and comfort for your pet. • I may leverage professional pet care services, such as dog walkers or sitters, especially on days when work hours are longer. • I have contingency plans in place to address any unexpected situations, ensuring your pet's well-being is a top priority.
