Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH experienced caretaker, 🐶 lover
My partner and I grew up with dogs. I had two dogs of my own, multiple in the family. I currently work from home in the tech industry, but I studied animal science in college and I interned/worked at veterinary offices shelters, aquariums, animal therapy centers for many years in NYC, Connecticut, and Beijing. I also studied animal science abroad in Tanzania.

Ratings and reviews
Grace was absolutely amazing! We were really nervous to leave Ralph for the first time, especially because he’s a rescue and is still very nervous and learning to trust new people. From the beginning, Grace made us feel completely at ease, and Ralph absolutely loved her — and her boyfriend Dan, who spent time with him as well. Knowing that Ralph was happy, comfortable, and being so well cared for genuinely made our vacation so much more enjoyable. Grace was incredibly attentive and clearly treated him like he was her own. It meant so much to us to be able to relax and not worry about him while we were away. We came home to a very happy Ralph, and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to have Grace (and Dan!) watch him again. Couldn’t recommend her more!
I had a last-minute work trip and needed a sitter. I hit the jackpot with Grace. Her communication was top-tier, she sent lots of updates and I could tell from every photo and video that my pup was having the best time. It’s not fun being away from our pets, but having someone like Grace sit makes it a lot less stressful. Thank you, Grace! Cosmo had a great time with you.
10/10! Grace was wonderful and so accommodating to our unique situation. We needed someone to watch our dogs in our hotel room while we attended a local funeral service. Grace showed up early, took them for a walk, and kept us reassured with pictures and video updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend Grace and would definitely book with her again!
Grace was amazing! She stayed at my apartment with my 12 year old lab mix. My old pup is sweet but a little slow to warm up to but he instantly warmed up to Grace. She was very attentive and responsive (although I never had to reach out because she gave me plenty of much appreciated updates). I know Jax was sad to see her go but we’re excited to use her again—such a relief to have such a great dog watcher in the city.
Grace is so sweet with and attentive to our little puppy, and she has been so responsive and flexible. We are already looking forward to her next visit!
Incredible sitter would use again
