Lots of walks around Arlington!

Pet care experience

Your pet will have my full, undivided attention, ensuring a fun and safe visit. I only watch one dog at a time and won't leave him or her unsupervised at all, with the exception of the occasional <60 min errand when needed. I tend to walk 5+ miles per day and have a nearby dog park - both permitting your pet is up for it, of course! Also I'll do my very best to take model-worthy update photos of your pet. I'll be sure to work the angles and all. My favorite part about pet sitting is seeing the change in demeanor dogs and cats go through throughout their stay, or even within the first few hours as they relax and have fun. Any anxiousness about the new environment tends to disappear pretty quickly and I can really see the animal's unique personality. I've grown up with pets my whole life, worked in a boarding kennel for four years, and I volunteer at the Alexandria animal shelter. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and fearful/aggressive dogs. I have a good understanding of dog body language to keep both your pet and myself safe. Looking forward to meeting you and your dog! Talk to you soon.

Gracie was absolutely amazing! She kept her over a 5 night span. When I dropped my dog off she was very warming and inviting. She sent pics of her daily and kept me informed on what they had done that day. Skylar almost did not want to leave Gracie when we picked her up. Highly recommend Gracie to pet sit and hope she is available for me next time I take a trip.

Came on time and was really great with my cat. She was so nice and I would definitely use Gracie again.

I have 4 kittens that I’m fostering and had to go out of town for a few days. It was too short notice for any of my fellow fosters to cover so I decided to try Rover for the first time. I was kind of nervous about leaving them with a stranger, but the moment I chatted with Gracie I felt calm and reassured. I could tell instantly that she was going to take good care of the little guys. One kitten was on meds that had to be administered twice a day. She was able to able to provide the medication and reached out to me if she had questions. I spoke with her on a regular basis and she even introduced some of the kittens to her friends. Fingers crossed they may go to good homes thanks to Gracie as well. When I picked them up they were happy and playful. I could tell they had a good time. I’m so glad I tried Rover and met Gracie. I will definitely be reaching out to her again. She’s amazing and I highly recommend her.

Thankfully Gracie was able to accommodate our request to come over on such short notice to visit our cat. Gracie stuck around and played with angel giving her some playtime while we were out, as well as sent along some photos which we appreciated! Would definitely work with Gracie and recommend her as a rover!
