Safety, trust & environment

I am a reliable individual, always showing up on time for appointments and meetings, so I won't leave you or your pet hanging! I am also organized and dependable, such as knowing where house keys are, ensuring the door is locked on my way out, and most importantly: that your furry pets have a great time when they're with me. My day job requires confidentiality, so you can also trust me to respect your home and belongings while I am there.

Information Grace W. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know how your pet responds to physical affection, children, other pets, and small outdoor animals. If they have a favorite toy, game, or treat, please let me know, as well! Lastly, please inform me if they have any allergies or special needs that I can account for while I'm with them.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs and cats physically and mentally. We'll play a bunch of games and with toys, explore new sights and scents, and (if they enjoy it) get a lot of head pats and tummy rubs. I'm looking to learn more about all the streets of Evanston, so your furry pet and I will go exploring together!

Pet care experience

**Thank you for your interest! I am not accepting new clients at the moment.** I have been taking care of neighbors' and friends' dogs and cats on-and-off for over 8 years. I'm an active individual and love taking dogs out on long walks and playing with them indoors and outdoors. I've also cat-sitted before, which is how I learned I am mildly allergic to cats (but short bursts of exposure under 30 minutes are ok!). I also love taking photos of our furry friends, so you can expect to have photo updates of them when I'm taking care of them! My family recently got a golden retriever puppy (2.5 months old), and I miss spending time with him while I'm living in Evanston. I also have experience with senior dogs (11+ years) and dogs aged 1-7 years, in addition to dogs weighing from 7 pounds to 60 pounds.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked with Grace for several years, and it is apparent that she has an innate passion for caring for all pets in my neighborhood. Not only does she make walks more enjoyable for my dogs by allowing them go on “sniffaris,” practicing loose leash walking in a proper heel, looking out for my dogs’ health and well-being, my dogs also throughly enjoy spending time with her at my home. Though I have a young puppy, Grace finds ways to keep him engaged, which helps a lot with preventing my home from becoming a massive chew toy. I highly recommend connecting with Grace in regards to her pet sitting and walking services; she is lovely to work with, and I’m really grateful to have her assistance.
