Safety, trust & environment
This is the dogs place, we just live here. Lol really though, it’s their world. Rest assured I can provide your children with the proper care they need whether that be administering meds (I’ve had a dog with diabetes and know how crucial the timing for insulin is, as well as many other medications/times they need given), or just simple lots of cuddle time, whatever their care plan needs.

Information Gracie S. would like to know about your pet
Please be honest with me about your baby so I fully understand their needs. This makes for a much more enjoyable experience for the owners, the dogs, and myself. I want to know the good things and the bad things, dogs are like humans and we all have flaws I totally understand that. I need to know what to expect, the same as you need to know what to expect from me when booking with me. Honesty is key.
A typical day
This can be custom for each clients needs. I am happy to take your dog on walks during their stay, play games, have doggy friendly icecream time, go for a joy ride, just let me know what your dog is used to so I can try my best to make their stay with me feel as close to their regular routine as possible. A regular routine with my Australian Shepherd is lots of ball time, like all day… she’s obsessed with snuggle time in between.

Pet care experience
I think it’s important for owners to feel at ease while they are away so they can rest assured when I am in care of their kids. I am available for video chats while you are away, will send many picture updates, and love your baby as if they are my own. I have taken care of dogs since I was old enough to walk. I have experience as a vet assistant, familiar with medications. I’ve took in rescues, from puppies to senior dogs- all sizes big and small. I have a passion for animals in general, but I really couldn’t do life without a dog. I can handle any type of dog, even the shy/timid ones I usually seem to be able to make friends with. I’ve had high maintenance dogs that think they are humans, to the easiest. Nothing is a challenge for me. I love making new fury friends and making the families feel safe about me taking care of their four-legged pals, I mean they are our children. I’m currently available basically anytime, I can be up as early or stay up as late as needed. Not a problem for me. I’m pretty flexible and easy to deal with. I do not board a ton of dogs at one time when boarding at my place, so I can fully devote my time to your fury children and pay attention to their every need and safety. I have a personal dog at my house, see my profile of “Jessi Lee” the dog who’s been to 40 states with me… my ride or die… she gets along with other dogs and likes to play and comfort them in their stay. I can also keep them separated if need be. I am also willing to stay in your own home as well, of course location dependent for those who prefer their fur babies to stay in their own home. I am available for walks, drop ins, and day care as well. I can try my best to accommodate to any special request needed to, just shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to chat.
Reviews

Leaving our beloved dog, Abby, with a total stranger was a first for us, but we were camping and needed a dog sitter for half a day. From the moment we got out of the truck, Gracie was interacting with Abby. It was like they were old friends. Abby had a fun day with Gracie, her dog, and the fenced in backyard. Gracie also sent us the cutest picture. She deserves the 5-star rating and has our highest recommendation!

Gracie was AWESOME. She kept me posted on how my Puppy was doing as well as pictures. 5 stars, 2 Thumbs up for Gracie.

Gracie was an amazing dog sitter! She was incredibly flexible with scheduling and made the whole process stress-free. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared a lot about my dog’s comfort and happiness. I really appreciated how accommodating she was, especially with last-minute changes. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter.

Clear communication and easy to work with!
