Animal Professional 💕🐶

Pet care experience

Drawing on over 15 years of pet care expertise, I offer professional pet sitting and walking services. As an accomplished animal trainer and former zookeeper, I bring a unique skill set to ensure your pets receive the best care. Beyond professional experience, my commitment is personal – with two senior rescue dogs, one with special needs, I understand the importance of compassionate and tailored care for your furry family members.

Gracyn has extensive experience in animal care and behavior from being a zoologist and rehab specialist for many years. She cares for two rescue dogs of her own, a freshwater turtle, and a Kenyan sand boa. She truly has a passion for caring for animals. I’ve personally watched her show patience, and compassion for her own dog who suffered a massive seizure, altering his behavior and needs for the rest of his life. She is responsible, and trustworthy. I have also had gracyn watch my own very anxious dog while out of town many times, and have always felt relief. I would 100% recommend gracyn!

Gracyn is incredible with all pets. Not only is she incredibly loving to all animals, but her background and expertise in animal care and psychology means she knows how to care for your pets health and well-being better than most. She even helped us train our rescue dog and helped us build trust with him! We (and our dog) love Gracyn!

Gracyn takes a genuine interest in any animal who's care she is entrusted . She is intuitive, motivated and caring. Gracyn's background lends itself well to animal care taking. She truly has all animals' best interest in mind that are in her care.
