Pet care experience

Empathetic, Trustworthy Pet Sitter

My family has always lived with big beautiful pack of a variety of pups; varying in breed, size, and age. I am great at training dogs in basic obedience as I have done with my current fur child, Augie, the 7 year old Labrador. :) I am attuned to dogs needs both physically and emotionally. I enjoy taking pups on anything from leisurely neighborhood walks to more vigorous hiking trails here in beautiful Yavapai County. I have administered medications needed to my own dogs with ease and would be willing and able to do this for clients as needed. I can assist with bathing and basic hygiene needs, as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I am consistent with a predictable feeding, exercise/leisure schedule with my own pup and recognize the importance of that consistency when caring for others’ pups.

Graelyn was amazing and took such great care of our two golden retrievers! She had awesome communication and gave us peace of mind that our boys were well cared for the entire time we were away!

Graelyn is incredible! Our pups love her so much. We know they are in great hands every time we leave them with her.

Graelyn was such a calming presence with my complicated animal situation. I was glad to have found her.

Graelyn was very responsible and thorough . She was very attentive and sensitive to Hera , our dog, as well . She played with her and supervised her closely . She sent updates and inquired regarding any rules regarding home or our dog . I would trust her completely and will be using her again , when needed !

Graelyn has watched my two dogs and three cats for my husband and I multiple times while we were out of town and she treats them as if they are her own pets. She not only follows all feeding/litter cleaning instructions perfectly, but she also spends extra time making sure they all get the love and attention they need while their parents are away. She’s great at communicating and keeping us updated on how everyone is doing, and sends lots of pictures which is always a plus for me! Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Schedule

I currently work full time at 40 hours/week M-F with flexible hours I choose, except the occasional “all hands on deck” event with my current employer which I would be transparent about when scheduling. This makes pet care doable based on what client needs are throughout the week and my weekends are completely open.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Graelyn can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know what physical activity your dog is used to and what their comfort levels are around other people/dogs. It would also be good for me to know if they know any basic commands and what their preference is for reward(treats or attention). Please note also that if you request for me to walk your dog that I will not walk a dog anywhere between noon-2pm during the summer (May-August) as these are peak hours of hot sunlight in Arizona and I don’t want a dog in my care to overheat.
