I am currently in school and working part time, but I am very flexible. Most of my school is online, and during work I am able to leave during lunch time and only work for about 6 hours, 3 times a week.

I do not have a huge yard, so I would have the dog on a leash and take the dog on long walks. Crates are fine if needed. Once again I am very accommodating, so if there is something the dog needs to feel comfortable I can work with that.

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I quickly build strong bonds with dogs and genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, belly rubs, fetch, or cuddles, I love making sure dogs feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs with different needs and personalities. I regularly care for my parents’ Golden Retriever, who has separation anxiety, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and giving extra attention to dogs who need additional comfort and reassurance. I have also pet sat in clients’ homes for multiple nights at a time, caring for multiple dogs at once while maintaining their routines, exercise schedules, feeding times, and any special instructions. I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and making pets feel safe and cared for when their families can’t be there.

Grace walked my dogs once a day for an entire month while I was recovering from surgery, and she was absolutely amazing. Knowing that my dogs were getting consistent exercise, attention, and care every day took a huge weight off my shoulders during my recovery. She was reliable, always showed up when expected, and clearly cared about my dogs. They were always excited to see her and looked forward to their daily walks. Grace was a huge help during a difficult time, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog walker.

Grace watched my two Dobermans in my home for four days, and she was fantastic. Since we live in the city, daily walks are a big part of their routine, and Grace did a wonderful job making sure they got plenty of exercise and time outside. She was dependable, communicative, and clearly cared about my dogs’ well-being. Dobermans can be strong, energetic dogs, but she handled them with confidence and patience. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were getting the attention, walks, and care they needed while I was away. I would absolutely book Grace again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring Rover sitter.

Grace has an incredible heart for animals and provides top, loving care for them. She has a deep understanding of what our pet is needing, wanting, feeling, etc and our pet seems to be calmed by her presence. I highly here for your pet care!

Grace did an incredible job caring for my two Dobermans, one of whom has significant anxiety and can be challenging around new people. She was patient, calm, and took the time to make both dogs feel comfortable and secure. During her stay, one of my dogs accidentally cut his tail on a gate. It was completely unrelated to Grace’s care, but she handled the situation exceptionally well. She immediately communicated with me, cleaned and cared for his tail, and kept me updated every step of the way. Her quick response, responsibility, and genuine concern for my dogs gave me so much peace of mind. I would trust Grace with my pets again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.
