I can’t wait to hang with your dog!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a college student studying computer science at East Carolina University and I’m home for the summer. I’ve had dogs my entire life and can’t imagine my world without them. I love all types and love spending time to get to know how special they are. I personally have a 12 year old cockapoo named ellie that I’ve been responsible for since she was a puppy and another family dog that’s a 17 year old black lab. Due to his old age, he needs some extra special love so if your dog has any health concerns I’m very experienced in caring for them. Being college I’ve also had the opportunity to take care of the puppy’s that my friends have gotten which has been so fun so I’m definitely prepared for any age dog! I’m free for the summer and very flexible so don’t worry at all if your plans change last minute!! Life happens!! I absolutely love spending time with dogs and find it truly relaxing so your pups will be spoiled with lots of attention!!

We have had Grace pet and house sit for us several times and have always been pleased! Her most recent visit was no exception. She stayed with our dog and cat for a week and took amazing care of them, including giving our cat daily meds and sending pictures and updates everyday while we were away. Our dog can be anxious by nature but appeared relaxed in all the photos and when we returned home. She also took amazing care of the house, and went above and beyond to clean/disinfect things before she left. During times where we are all concerned about our health and wellness this extra care was very much appreciated. I would highly recommend Grace if you are planning to go out of town and need somebody kind and trustworthy to care for your home and your pets!

Grace was wonderful with our dog! She sent frequent updates which included photos and videos. She seems very knowledgeable about caring for animals and was very attentive to our pooch. She even washed the blankets she used when she spent the night, an impeccable house guest! We can’t say enough kind things about her.

Grace did an exceptional job caring for our two small dogs over a long weekend. I think the dogs enjoyed their own little "mini vacation" while we were out of town, thanks to Grace. Lots of walks, doggy pool time, and treats made for happy dogs. I felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in her care. Grace sent lots of pictures and left our home cleaner than when we left. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

I wish I could give more than 5 stars! Grace was absolutely fantastic with Murphy! This is the first time we had someone stay with him at the house and it was the best decision we ever made. Grace sent us regular updates and pictures, but most importantly, she spent quality time with him and gave him so much attention and love! We came home to a happy dog - not just because he was glad to see us, but because he was not stressed and was so well taken care of while we were gone. On top of that, Grace left the house spotless, washed the bedding that she used, and vacuumed - extras that were totally unexpected. She also left a Polaroid picture of Murphy and a bag of special treats for him. I HIGHLY recommend Grace!!!

A typical day

I love to walk in areas with lots of nature so parks and woods to give the dogs lot of things to smell and places to explore! I try to find activities that click with the dogs I’m with. For example, my 12 year old cockapoo is much more interested in chillin on the couch with me while the puppy’s I hang out with love to run around and play with toys!
