Pet care experience

Every dog deserves a PAW-some walk!

As a dedicated dog owner and experienced pet sitter, I bring a unique level of skill and confidence to every walk and visit. I’ve raised and trained two German Shepherds from puppyhood, completing both beginner and advanced obedience classes with them — so I’m no stranger to working with strong, intelligent, and high-energy dogs. Over the years, I’ve also cared for dogs of all breeds and sizes for friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me a well-rounded understanding of different temperaments and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll, a high-energy adventure, or a cozy overnight stay, I treat every dog like one of my own — with patience, structure, and lots of love.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own and a focus on their individual needs! Building trust and creating a safe, positive environment is always my top priority. I use gentle, positive reinforcement through kind words, petting, and encouragement to help dogs feel comfortable and confident. I also love incorporating mentally stimulating games and activities to keep their minds sharp and engaged, along with plenty of exercise to support their physical health. Whether it’s a calm cuddle session or an energetic playtime, I’m committed to making every dog feel safe, happy, and right at home.

Grace stayed overnight at our house and did a great job! Our pups were extremely relaxed and content when we got back. We will definitely reach out to her again in the future!

Grace does an amazing job taking care of my pups. She cares for them as if they were her own. I don't have to worry about them when they are with her. I definitely recommend!

"Grace is amazing with dogs! She owns two well-behaved German Shepherds and clearly knows how to handle and care for them with confidence and love. She’s great on walks and always makes sure the dogs are happy, safe, and well-exercised. I completely trust her with any dog!"

Grace always does a great job watching Hazel. She is always on time and follows all the instructions. Will definitely have her watch Hazel again.

Grace has watched my little dog, Hazel several times. She has stayed with her many times to let her out and give her play time, and take her for walks. Grace is really good with dogs and enjoys them. She is very responsible and all around a sweet, kind and amazing person!

Schedule

Dog walking and sitting fits perfectly into my daily routine — I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, and I love staying active throughout the day. I often take walks between and after classes, so adding a furry walking buddy to my routine is a natural fit. Whether it’s sunny, rainy, or snowy, I’m committed to getting dogs the fresh air and exercise they need. With wide availability and a genuine love for animals, I’m happy to accommodate different schedules and energy levels — from quick potty breaks to long walks or overnight care.
