Pet care experience

caring and experienced pet sitter!

Hi! I’m a young professional with 10+ years of pet care experience. I’ve worked in animal shelters and on farms. I’ve boarded 3 month old puppies and cared for senior (13 year old) dogs. 🐶 I also have experience with cats and exotic pets like rabbits and birds. 🐱🐰🐥 Little bit about me ☀️— I grew up in a household with 5 animals and enjoy running, reading, and knitting in my free time. I’d love to get to know your pet to see if they’re a good fit :) 💕

Grace is such great pet sitter! She took all the notes on our greet-and-meet and followed my requests for taking care of my senior cat. Smooth communication and I will book her again 100% in future!

Grace Sperber has taken care of our dog and bunnies for years. She takes her job seriously, does not forget details and showers them with plenty of love while still holding a respect for the rules of the owner. She has also babysat children, some very young, for periods of time, staying in their home , holding down the fort while the parents were away. She stays on good terms with her clients for years and her schedule is always filled. Doggies in SF will be well cared for and happy with Grace.

Schedule

I’m available for boarding, walks and playtime! Either in your neighborhood, at my apartment in Backbay or at yours. I’m a consultant, often with work-from-home flexibility. I’d love to schedule a meet and greet before setting up care :)

Safety, trust & environment

I like to make pets feel safe and comfortable. I usually let the personality of the pet set the agenda for what we do, with healthy boundaries and routine. I can provide fun outdoor time and exercise by the Charles River/Boston Commons which is a couple blocks from my place. And a quiet, safe room to rest and recuperate. I have experience with shy and quirky animals.

A typical day

🌳I like to take dogs on walks through the Boston Commons and the Charles River Escalade which are blocks from my apartment. 🌙In the evenings and afternoons my apartment is quiet and comfortable for resting, playing and lounging. 🏠I live on the second floor (quiet) in a 3BR apartment with 2 calm, kind and pet-friendly roommates. 🛏️My room can accommodate a crate/pen. Animals are welcome to free-roam on our common space furniture.
