Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pet’s Favorite Dr!
Having grown up with pets my entire life, I have truly experienced "the good, the bad, and the ugly" of pet ownership! I understand firsthand the love, chaotic moments, and the care it takes to keep animals happy and healthy. Currently, I have my own two dogs and a Holland Lop rabbit, all of whom I completely groom myself—so I am no stranger to managing shedding coats, nail trims, and animal maintenance! Beyond my personal experience, I recently relocated from Virginia to Fairbanks after earning my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Radford University. This medical background means I have advanced training in anatomy, physical handling, positioning, and safety, which sets me apart in a few major ways: * Senior & Special Needs Care: I understand mobility limitations, joint protection, and fragile handling. If your senior pet needs help getting up, navigating stairs, or requires complex medication schedules, I can manage it with professional clinical precision. * Calm & Attentive Observation: I am trained to notice subtle changes in physical behavior, breathing patterns, or discomfort, ensuring your pet is under watchful eyes. * Patience and Behavior Management: My professional training also involves pediatric development and positive reinforcement, which translates to keeping young, energetic pets or anxious animals feeling safe, structured, and calm. I treat every animal in my care with the same high level of respect, safety, and love that I give my own fur babies. I can’t wait to meet your best friend!

Safety, trust & environment
When providing House Sitting care in your home, I follow this safety protocol: Meet & Greet First: I'd like an initial Meet & Greet before any booking is locked in. This ensures your pet is entirely comfortable with me, and gives us a chance to walk through their exact feeding, potty, and other routines. Home Respect: I treat your home with the utmost care. I maintain your exact house rules (such as keeping pets off specific furniture, ensuring doors/gates are securely locked, and keeping a clean space), so you return to a house that is just as spotless as you left it. Proactive Safety & Leash Security: When out on walks in the neighborhood, pets will always remain securely leashed. I do not do unapproved dog park visits or random dog-on-dog greeting interactions with strangers, protecting your pet from unpredictable situations. Medication & Routine Management: Thanks to my professional medical background, I am exceptionally detail-oriented with complex instructions. Whether your pet requires precise oral medications, supplements, or specific handling due to structural joint protection and senior mobility issues, it will be administered exactly on time, every time. Communication: You will never have to wonder how your fur baby is doing. I provide consistent, daily photo and text updates so you can enjoy your travel with complete peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Grace was very patient with my nervous pup! She kept him safe and calm while I was out of town and kept me in the loop on what he was up to. Would definitely book her again!
Grace is so good with my three pups!
Thanks for taking great care of our pets!
Grace took care of the house and our girls. She was very responsible and gave us peace of mind knowing she was in our home. And our girls liked her! We would not hesitate to use her again and recommend her without reservation
Grace owns multiple animals and loves them all. She takes care of them and provides so much love. She will bring her dogs out in public for even more love.

Schedule
My schedule is very structured and accommodating for pet care! I am currently balancing onboarding physical therapy career alongside dedicated study blocks for my upcoming board exams. Because my primary focus right now is professional preparation, my weekly routine is as follows: Weekdays (Monday–Friday): I have a mid-day commitment for my clinical orientation and training blocks. I am always home first thing in the morning to handle breakfast, early walks, and morning potty breaks. I return in the early afternoon, meaning pets are only left alone for a 4-to-5 hour window. Afternoons & Evenings: Once I am back for the day, I am at home or at the client's house studying. Here I can also provide constant, quiet company and frequent potty breaks every couple of hours all afternoon, evening, and night. Weekends (Saturday & Sunday): My schedule is completely open! I am available for full-time companionship, custom routines, and frequent outdoor time. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because it gives me a wonderful, welcome break from my study materials to stretch my legs, play, and go on walks!
