Very experienced and communicative
Pet care experience
Dogs are my passion––plain and simple. Lucky me! To do what you love and be surrounded by those you love seem priceless. I have two very cute and friendly pound puppies named Junebug and Oliver, but I want and need more dogs in my life. Dogs’ unconditional love is the best medicine in the world, and I want to be surrounded by them day and night. Being around animals has a restorative quality, and I always feel more complete when I’m surrounded by our furry friends. I have owned and fostered pets my entire life, and I have also been a zookeeper at the Houston Zoo (now working as an animal ambassador trainer at the Denver Downtown Aquarium). I have experience with almost every animal you can think of, including domesticated cats, horses, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and small mammals. So if you're looking for a dog walker/sitter/trainer that's also a bit of a Steve Irwin, I'm your gal. I know exactly how you feel. I’m a mess when I’m away from Junebug and Oliver for more than a handful of hours. To leave your beloved family members with a total stranger is a huge leap of faith, but I want to assure you that your pup (or any other animal in your care) will be in dependable, compassionate hands. The welfare of your pup will be my utmost priority, and I will go above and beyond to make sure your pup is physically and emotionally safe, but also thriving in your absence.
Reviews
Gracie is the absolute best! She was highly responsive, sent tons of AMAZING photos, and obviously put a lot of love into watching our two fur-babies. I was beyond impressed with her helpful insight and care of our pups. Will definitely be booking again. If you are looking for someone who loves your animals as much as you do, you cannot go wrong with booking via Gracie.
Gracie could not have given better care to my pup while I was gone. I had the chance to extend my trip and Gracie made it work for all of us! Came home to a happy pup and will work with her again for sure. Thanks Gracie! -MJ and Harold
This was our first time using rover and we were a little Nervous about having a stranger stay in our house. Our dog had severe anxiety last time we left town and left her at neighbors house so we felt like she needed to be in her own space. Gracie was absolutely fantastic with her, she never had any issues during the 2 weeks we were gone. We got regular updates and photos of Luma and the house was clean and well taken care of when we got back! Gracie even took great care of our many indoor and outdoor plants?
I knew my dog was in good hands with Gracie! He took to her very quickly during a meet and greet and the pictures I got while she stayed with him showed me he was doing just fine. I appreciate her quick communication and flexibility around my non standard schedule. She left my house clean as well. I will definitely use Gracie again soon!
About Gracie G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have been house sitting for a very long time; I am very experienced in making all of my clients feel safe and secure, as well as exercised, played with, and medicated if necessary.
Information Gracie G. would like to know about your pet
I suggest we meet in your home so that I can get to know your pup in a place where they are comfortable, and so that I can see what their routine is and where everything is kept. I will want to know everything there is to know about your pup’s medical history, as well as personality quirks that make your dog your dog! I will adhere to all instructions, and will provide regular updates by text or photo, whatever method best suits your needs. I want you to know that your beloved pup is getting the best care possible.
A typical day
I live in a beautiful neighborhood in Westminster CO, so we will take many lovely walks. There are also many dog-friendly parks and restaurants to go to! As much as I love getting fresh air, I also cherish my time cuddling with pups on the couch, so we’ll definitely maintain that perfect balance of exercise with chill time. And with your permission, your pup can sleep with me at nighttime, so s/he will only miss you just a little.

Availability
I currently am working 7-4 at the Denver Downtown Aquarium Sunday through Thursday, so the rest of that time is dedicated to my dogwalking/housesitting business.
