Positive and experienced caretaker

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Grace. I am a lifelong dog lover and an experienced dog walker/sitter. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and stress-free experience for your dog while you are away from home. I have a doggy-proof house in a safe, quiet neighborhood close to beautiful parks. I am active and can provide anything from a leisurely stroll up and down the street to a miles-long run, depending on what kind of activity your dog needs. I use a positive-reinforcement approach when I work with any animal, and whether your dog is an Einstein of obedience or just learning "sit," I can provide great learning environment for your dog.

Grace watched our border collie dog, Lady and did a fantastic job! I was so pleased. Grace's dog, Bogie was playful and our dogs got along great. She took Lady to the dog park, on many walks and runs and even on a trip with her. She sent us pictures which eased our mind greatly. Lady was very happy when we picked her up. I hope Lady has as much fun at home! ;) Thanks for the great care Grace. Lady will definitely be back!

Grace did a great job watching our Katie. She asked all the right questions and Katie was at ease with her immediately. We even received pictures while we traveled. We would absolutely recommend and book Grace again.

Grace is so kind, and has the cutest pup Bogie. Bogie and Nate played and played and played and played and played.....and played. She was so patient and kind. Truly a dog lover :)

Grace has watched my cat, dog and fish. She is honest, dependable, and a genuine animal lover. I can always count on my pets being happy when i come home when Grace has been there watching them.

Information Grace V. would like to know about your pet

When we are setting up a dog-sitting appointment, please let me know the following about your dog: 1. How is his/her recall? 2. Is she/he well socialized? 3. Does he/she have specific fears (thunder, vacuums)? 4. Would you like me to take your pup to the dog park or keep the day more one-on-one?
