Highlights
Pet care experience
Your animals new bestie!
I am a lifelong animal lover with hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. Having grown up with three dogs and a cat, I was involved in all aspects of pet care from a young age, including feeding, walking, training, grooming, and providing daily companionship. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have spent the past five years providing dog sitting and cat sitting services for friends, family, and clients. This experience has allowed me to work with pets of different ages, temperaments, and care requirements. I am comfortable caring for senior pets and have experience administering oral medications, applying eye drops, and following specialized feeding and medication schedules. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love! One of my favourite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each pets unique personality and building a bond with them. I make large efforts to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, loved, an especially not anxious while their family is away. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, which is why I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel happy, relaxed, and cared for, while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in good hands. I also provide regular photo and video updates throughout your pet's stay, so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. I truly understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, patience, and affection that I would want for my own pets 😊

Safety, trust & environment
Having grown up around both dogs and cats, I’m very aware of common household and outdoor hazards, including unsafe foods, choking hazards (especially for puppies), and toxic plants. I always keep a close eye on pets to help prevent accidents and make sure their environment is safe and secure. I also understand how important emotional care is while owners are away. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort to help reduce stress and anxiety. Daily walks are a priority for dogs, and I’m happy to make sure they stay active and on their normal routine
Ratings and reviews
Grace was wondering with our two dogs and two cats and sent pictures so we knew they were happy and well taken care of.
Grace was fantastic with our elderly German Shepherd and our Vizsla. Everything was great, including communication. Hope she will come back in the future.
Grace looked after my family's dog and cat and did an excellent job; the pets were fed and happy when we got home. Our dog also got a nice walk.
I’ve known Grace for nearly 8 years, and she has always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. She has always had three dogs of her own, and you can truly see how deeply she cares for them. I have one dog and one cat, and Grace has looked after them, or checked in on them a few times, she was amazing every time. She’s very responsible, and always makes sure they are comfortable and well cared for. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Grace is one of the most caring and genuinely motherly people I know. She has three dogs of her own and has always had a special connection with animals, especially dogs. She’s incredibly patient, attentive, and responsible, and she truly treats every pet like family. I would trust her completely with any pet in her care.

Schedule
I currently work from 8:00 AM–4:00 PM three days a week, but I still have lots of time to spend with your fur babies throughout the day! On work days, I'm also able to stop by during my lunch break for potty breaks and check-ins if needed. I have my own car, so transportation is never an issue and I'm able to travel throughout Victoria and the surrounding areas. I absolutely love spending time with animals, and pet sitting is something I genuinely enjoy. It's a great excuse to get outside, stay active, and spend time with animals.
