Lifetime Dog-Lover in Center City!
Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Grace! I live in center city Philadelphia with my boyfriend and recently returned from a year and a half teaching English in Japan and traveling around the world. I had dogs all my life until graduating college, and I've really missed having four-legged friends since then! During college, I spent a lot of time volunteering at the local animal shelter and taking dogs out to local spots for outreach programs. It is such a joy to watch and play with a happy dog while we both get some much-needed time outside! With my boyfriend in grad school and me working from home, my schedule is flexible enough to meet your needs. Always an avid hiker, I love to walk and visit parks; I especially enjoy the Schuylkill River park and Rittenhouse Square. My dog back home, a border-collie lab mix named Mochi, grew from a tiny puppy into a romping, running, 80-pound fluff ball, so I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes. Also, I know that positive reinforcement is the best way to work with animals (Mochi learned some super cool tricks that way). All dogs are good dogs, and I will always give them the patience and affection they deserve. You will come home to a happy, tail-wagging dog whenever you book me! Feel free to reach out and message me with any questions. I'm so looking forward to becoming your dog's new friend!
Reviews
despite the downpour Grace took Ollie to the park to play. Over and beyond my expectations! Great job.
Went over and beyond. Great with Ollie. Timely and helpful!
I know Grace because we were both members of Helping Paws, an animal outreach club at the University of North Carolina. We regularly participated in shelter dog outreaches together, and she always handled the dogs responsibly and with respect. We worked with dogs with varying levels of training and excitability, and Grace did well with them all. I always felt comfortable when she was a co-participant because I knew she could take good care of the dogs we were responsible for. I'd highly recommend Grace to take excellent care of any dog.
Grace is wonderful with dogs! While at UNC, she was highly involved in UNC Helping Paws which is a club aimed to spread animal awareness. Her sweet pup, Mochi, was so well trained and was so friendly! She truly cares about dogs and I would highly recommend her as a caretaker of them!

A typical day
We will go to Philly's parks on walks and run around together to release some of that pent-up energy. Other possibilities include playing tug or fetch, working on tricks, or just getting a belly rub if that's what your dog wants! If there's anything in particular you'd like me to do with your pup, just let me know.
