Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly and flexible sitter!
I have 3 dogs of my own, one of which is about 15 and need a lot of care attention, the other being just over a year old and very rowdy and crazy and also in need of attention, the last about to turn 1 same energy as the other 1 year old. I also have 2 cats as well. Both out-door and in-door but both very needy. I can accommodate with any needs to not only help your pet but help you continue the training you may be doing with your fur baby. I can play and love on your baby and make them feel safe with me around and im very communicative of any things i may have trouble with. I am very attentive to my own pups as they are still growing and learning and are needing to understand the basic training skill of boundaries such as not jumping or knowing when it’s time to calm down.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and allow my dogs at home to run around at least 30 minutes a day when weather allows. We have a doggy door so they are able to go out when necessary but if a dog door is not available I will let out to go to bathroom as often as I can and will also allow dogs to play outside either supervised or unsupervised depending on your preference. My dogs do not need to be supervised, they are well trained to come back inside when called for. Sometimes I will sit outside and run around my dogs to get them to exercise a bit more and I am more then happy to do the same with your puppies.
Ratings and reviews
Nice to get pictures and updates of how the puppy was doing!
Just to be clear, my dog and cats got along well with Grace I was just disappointed with how I hired her to be there with them when I was gone and she really wasn’t there much, left trash on my kitchen counter from food that she ate from my refrigerator and left dirty dishes in the sink. She is super nice but not a good fit for my animals because they like to eat at a certain time. If it doesn’t matter to you then she will work better for you.
Grace took such good care of Leo while we were gone! She went above and beyond several times! I absolutely recommend her 😊
Overall average care. Communication was prompt. House was left tidy, but dirty dishes were left in the sink. My cat needs medication once a day at dinner time, typically around 6:30pm. Time frame doesn't have to be exact, but 5+ hours late is excessive. She didn't arrive until after 11pm the first night, then left again for almost another hour. She didn't arrive until after 2am the second night, after being gone for 12 hours. I returned a day early, so she didn't have to stay a third night. She was also an hour late to our meet and greet, so if you run a tight schedule, she may not be the right fit.
Grace was our house and pet sitter for 12 days while we were in Europe. She stayed in constant contact and took great care of our home and our pets. We will use her again for our next trip!
Grace was wonderful with my grown puppy Trapper, an active American Lab who needs a lot of exercise and playtime! He had activities with Grace every day including going to the park and playing with her dogs, he was a happy camper when I was back and Grace provided me pictures and videos while I was away.
