Pet care experience

Ready to pamper your pet <3

I learned pet care at a very young age after growing up with cats, dogs and bunnies. As a young adult, I gained additional experience caring for pets at animal shelters, and I have also cared for friends' and family pets from taking their dogs on walks, feeding, bathing, training dogs, and lightly grooming cats.

Gracie was great with our dog Bob. He was happy, comfortable and well taken care of during his stay with her. I will definitely be using her again!

Gracie is so kind. Bock Choy loved staring out her window and napping. My dog immediately felt super comfortable with her. Thanks so much!

Gracie has been incredible with our little toy poodle and his 95 year old owner, my mom. She has handled both with kindness, calm and extraordinary reliability. Twice daily walks, 7 days each week. 100% on time. 100% proactive in solving anticipated issues. Great communication. Gentle, professional. I'm running out of adjectives for this very special person.

Safety, trust & environment

Whenever entering a client’s home for a dog walk, I make sure to announce myself, so the pup knows I’m there. I’ll also put your pupper’s leash, harness, etc. back after each walk. And, on rainy days, I’m happy to wipe your pup’s feet after our walk if you leave me a towel for them. If your pup is staying with me, we will go on many walks. I live in a large 2 bedroom apartment with my partner near Rockville Town Center and your pup will have so much space to play!

A typical day

I'm determined to make sure your dog has a great walk! We will explore a nearby park (Bird House Park, Kinship Park, Friend's Park, and/or Welsh Park), and/or the neighborhood. If you have doggy toys, I can bring them along to play with at the park as well. I love playing fetch!

Please let me know if your pupper has special needs or behavioral issues. I’m experienced with reactive pups and unique personality quirks with rescue pups.
