Will love like my own
Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs since I was in grade school and grew up with dogs in the house. I have two dogs of my own so the dogs must get along with other dogs. I work with an animal rescue group both on staff and as volunteer. So I have experience with pilling and I will love and care for your dog like they are my own. I love my dogs more than I can express and know the worries and not wanting your fur-babies in a kennel. I try to go on one long walk a day if they need/want to go on a run I can do that too. I like to do all I can do to make sure your fur-babies are as comfortable and happy as possible while you are gone.
Reviews
Grave was highly attentive and loving with my Shetland Sheepdog; especially important in this hot weather. She let him wake up slowly when she came in, not rushing him out the door for his walk. Grace then walked him as much as he wanted to, brought him in out of the heat, made sure he got water and a milk bone, and finally hung out with him for a little while to make sure he was all set. Excellent dog walking experience. I will definitely be using Grace's services again.
Grace took excellent care of my Patty dog. She was flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up times. I feel very comfortable leaving my Patty in her charge.
Grace is wonderful! She is a total dog mom and treats our puppy as if he were her own. If I can’t get ahold of our vet for whatever reason, I call Grace because she is so knowledgeable in the doggie department. Grace is our one and ONLY dog sitter, you’ll love her!!
Grace has a profound love for dogs and knows how to take care of them very effectively. She has cared for my dog and I was very satisfied with how she handled things.

Safety, trust & environment
I have three dogs and two cats and I am very in tune with their needs and wants. When going on long walks I bring lots of water and try to stick to as much shade as possible. If it’s too hot we go on short walks but play inside. I am very conscientious of my surroundings to avoid harmful interactions. I have worked in the rescue world and at the veterinary hospital, giving me more skills to properly care for and engage your pet family member.
Information Grace S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any special needs that are needed so I can be sure to accommodate. Also if there are special behaviors that I need to be aware.
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog both mentally and physically. We will walk or run/walk (temperature dependent, so dogs do not over heat), play games, practice tricks or learn new tricks. With cats I like to play with them or just sit with them, depending on their mood.
