Dog (& cat) person with pet fever!
Pet care experience
I grew up with a Golden Retriever/Yellow Lab mix I begged my parents for - I taught him how to sit, stay, shake hands, and roll over. He was a high energy dog (think Marley from Marley & Me) who loved walks and adventures! I pet sat throughout high school for dogs a little under a year and older, as well as cared for friends' dogs in college. I love walking and make sure to know all the best trails and paths in my area. I'm close to greenways and safe, quiet neighborhoods perfect for dog walking. I'm also a frequent hiker, so if your dog (or cat) is used to more arduous trails, I'm open to making them a trail buddy!
Reviews
Graciela is awesome, dependable and responsible! She has completed house sitting for my two pups on two separate occasions now, and I can’t say enough great things about her. She takes great care of the doggies, one of which requires daily medication and eye drops, and she is very respectful of my house and leaves everything clean and organized. She is my first choice whenever I need help with the pups!
Graciela was responsible and attentive and kept me updated. Would use her again!
Graciela was very sweet and did a great job with my dog! Definitely recommend her!
Graciela is a beyond exceptional caregiver. Her warmth and love of animals is something you pick up on right away. She is reliable and never hesitates on sending me updates. I always look forward to her taking care of our family. I would wholeheartedly recommend Graciela and I’m looking forward to booking her again soon.
About Graciela Z.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
A dog should feel safe and sound in their own home, so I make sure their environment is clean, doors are closed or locked, and water and food bowls are taken care of. Communication is important to me - as an anxious pet owner, I'll make sure you stay up to date on your beloved family member's whereabouts.
Information Graciela Z. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know if your dog has any unique personality traits that might come up during our time together, like if they have a deep love for squirrels that causes them to get antsy or want to run away. Allergies or things to avoid would be helpful to know as well.
A typical day
We'll have plenty of fun things to do during the day, like go on walks around different neighborhoods or on the greenway nearby. The greenway has lots of sights and smells for any curious, energetic dog and is away from the road, providing extra safety.

Availability
I recently graduated from college and am on the job hunt, so I currently have plenty of free time to play with or walk your pups! I'm available Monday through Sunday whatever time works best for you - flexibility is a given in my schedule right now.
