Dogs make my heart sing

Pet care experience

I have always loved dogs and I have experience walking and caring for my friends' and neighbors dogs in the last few years on the side. I have experience with overnight visits and walks. I am very passionate about dog and pet care. I have always been punctual and dedicated in all my previous jobs and have experience in management and leadership. I also have a flexible schedule and will be able to come at late notice. I just graduated from Skidmore college and am planning to work in animal conservation because I am very passionate about animal care. It would be a privilege for me to work with dogs and care for them because I know how important they are and how much care they need. I have been working with Rover since 2020 and have worked with many rescue dogs and dogs with behavioral issues. I feel like my experiences thus far have prepared me to work with any kind of dogs, even aggressive ones.

Grace is amazing. She has gotten along great with out reactive cattle dog mix. She has been able to accommodate our ever changing schedule almost 100%. Extremely personal and would recommend to anyone.

Grace did amazing with our two dogs. Grace was able to befriend our people aggressive cattle dog. As well as, manage our high anxiety Airedale with no problems. She has great communication and took excellent care of my babies. We will definitely book with her in the future.

Grace was great with our dog, Daisy! She was well-cared for and very happy when we got home! Grace sent pictures, walked Daisy, and made sure that she was content and comfortable while we were away. Prior to our departure Grace came over for a meet and greet, and her interactions w Daisy made us feel at ease with leaving our little fur-baby with her. Would definitely hire Grace again to watch Daisy!

Grace was great! She took the time to come meet our puppy before her stay, and was patient with our cautious dog- as well as my two kids who wanted to show her around! Grace was on time, easy to reach and communicate with, and took great care of our dog and left our house just as she found it!
