Pet lover & experienced sitter!

Pet care experience

I used to have Rover a couple years ago until I started working full time. I decided to jump back in because I miss spending quality time with animals! I’m experienced in taking care of dogs and cats of various ages (puppies to elderly) and sizes (small to medium sized). I used to offer drop ins, walking, and overnight care. This would include monitoring dietary restrictions and medications and adjusting to walking preferences. I also love taking cute photos of your pup or cat! Happy to take in your packages too if I’m staying for an extended period of time!

Graciela was attentive and did a stellar job taking care of our cat. She kept us informed and we loved the pictures she sent. Really happy and would book again!

Graciela was such a big help with my dog Teddy. She was responsive, sweet, and Teddy adored her. Would highly recommend Graciela for your dog or cat sitting needs!

Graciela has a long history of loving animals. I remember when we were little, she would memorize the names of every breed of dog, horse, and cat simply because they fascinated her so much. She has always had a natural way with animals and was even the primary trainer for our family dog, Buddy, growing up. Because of that, she has long been my absolute first choice whenever I need someone to watch my own dog, Harley. I think there is something to be said for the special knack that certain people have with animals, and Graciela has exhibited that her entire life with cats, dogs, and just about everything in between. She is the perfect blend of detail-oriented and fun. Not only will she make a spreadsheet to strictly adhere to your dog’s schedule, but she’ll also make sure to run around and give them all the energy, love, and engagement they need. Look no further if you are looking for attentive, loving care for your pet!

Graciela is amazing and will always prioritize the safety and health of your dog. As an aspiring dog mom, there is nothing that makes her happier than going on a walk with a furry buddy. She is responsible, responsive, and able to adapt to whatever a dog might need. With a desire to be outside and explore new parts on the town, her combined passion for freedom and doges makes her a phenomenal pet sitter, to the point where dogs don’t want to say goodbye to her! She can recognize when a dog needs a break, whether that be inside and is hungry while getting some calming belly rubs or when a dog needs a water break on a walk. I highly recommend Graciela as a pet sitter! She has been excellent so far!
