Safety, trust & environment

My home is not currently suited for boarding, as I live in an apartment, but I've got very reliable transportation to anywhere nearby. I took leash training classes with my dog when she was little, so I'm equipped for even troublesome walkers.

Information Grace W. would like to know about your pet

I MUST know if your pet is a snuggler, because I am. I like to know how your dog handles being around other dogs and people, so I know how cautious to be on walks. If they have specific things that scare them or make them nervous, that's also helpful to know.

A typical day

I like to take dogs on a long walk to let them sniff everything along the way. I love to throw sticks and tennis balls, or just run around with them. At the end of a hard played day, I lay down my dog blanket and have them sit with me on the couch. For cats, I like to take their favorite toys and try to entice them to play. I am also elated when it comes time for snuggles, and I will never ever turn a snuggly kitty away.

Pet care experience

Among my community, I'm known for being the "pet girl." I'm the one most of my friends go to when they need training advice or weekend care, and I'm always happy to do it. My goal on Rover is to build experience with all types of breeds and owners, simply because I enjoy it. After my childhood dog passed, I discovered a deepened respect and passion for caring for everyone’s beloved pets.

Grave did an excellent job with our rescue dog who’s nervous around new people. We would trust her with any pet.
