Pet care experience

I been around dogs my entire life and I currently have a 7-year-old Japanese Chin named Hades. What I love about dogs is how unique and loving each one can be and how they express themselves in different ways. Dogs love endlessly and without conditions. I'm becoming a pet sitter with Rover because I want to spend my days learning and interacting with a variety of different dogs. In my hometown, I frequently volunteered with groups and shelters to work with pups on socialization. I’ve also spent my whole life studying and learning about pets and pet nutrition. I’m a true animal lover who has a deep love for all creatures of the earth. Another thing that attracts me to working with pups and their owners is that it allows me the opportunity to meet and interact with all kinds of people as well as a way to connect with those who need my caretaking services. In my free time, I like to spend time with my family and visiting shelters to spend time with shelter animals. I enjoy going hiking and heading out to the beach. I go as often as I can and I always make sure to bring along my own furry friend. I would love to take your pup with me around the neighborhood, to the nearest park for a nice long walk and some time with other dogs. In addition to caring for dogs, I also have experience with cats, birds, other small animals and reptiles. I’m always amazed how every different type of animal interacts with each other and how beautiful they all are. If you need, I would definitely love to care for these types of animals as well.

Gracie is really one of a kind! My sweet baby Gunny is a shy and scared pooch. He feared everyone and rarely wanted to go outside. I was at my wits end! Then I met Gracie and she was so patient! She spent hours getting Gunny to be more comfortable with her. Now Gunny is so brave and going on longer and longer walks! He's like a new dog! Gracie is the best!

Gracie is an amazing dog walker and sitter. She's been walking my two dogs for years and I just adore her. They always come back happy and taken care of. When I'm gone on long trips, she always checks in with me and sends me a picture of my two fur babies. Wouldn't trust anyone else with my babies but her!

Gracie is a loving, sweet-hearted and extremely patient dog lover. She has taken care of my pup, Sushi, for the past few months and has helped me shape his behavior during his early puppy months. She is quite knowledgable on puppy training and pet nutrition. Sushi is healthy, happy, and ready to walk by her side.

Information Gracie D. would like to know about your pet

If I’m going to care for your pet, I love to get some time interacting with them, getting to know their personality and day-to-day routine. I am great working with all breeds and all sizes. I also would find it very helpful to know if your pet has any food preferences, treat choices, likes and dislikes, as well as favorite places to go or things to do. At our meet and greet, I would sit down with both my human and canine clients to discuss any likes/dislikes and anything else that is relevant to the pet’s well-being so that I can better understand their needs and wants. I would then devise a schedule that best benefits the client. I will also provide updates and developments throughout the experience so that you can be assured your pet is being well taken care of while you are away.

A typical day

I love spending my free time exploring all of the interesting things that San Francisco has to offer. Apart from diving into the city, I also enjoy going hiking or heading out to the beach. I go as often as I can and I always make sure to bring along my own furry friend. I would take your pup around the neighborhood, to the nearest dog park or we could head to some of my favorite places like Fort Funston and Golden Gate Park. Our days would start off with a quick potty break before we had breakfast and headed out to a nearby dog park for some social activity to get our day off to a good start. After some social time, we would head home for some rest and a treat or two. Later in the evening, we would go for another walk before dinner. Your pup will be able to not only stretch their legs throughout the day, but will also be showered with attention!
