About: I have been caring for cats and dogs for over 28 years. My experience extends to fish, hamsters and lizards as well. I administered medicine as requested/needed, change cat litter, clean up vomit, and give all the basic care as well. I am a substitute teacher, so I have the flexibility needed to care for pets. I have a family that works to together to care for our pets so I have time to schedule drop ins and walk in and occasional overnights. My dogs are fed twice a day. My German Shepherd, Husky, Belgian Malinois and I play in our large yard and I take time to train them. I have a large yard my dogs freely play fetch and run in. I walk my dogs on my road, go hiking, walk local trails and take them to dog parks to play with other pups. Depending on the space at my clients home I either care for them in their neighborhood or I go to local parks for walks. Also depending on my client I take their dog for a car adventure to get a pup cup or visit Petco to pick out a toy and I always use a dog seatbelt. We have so much fun together.

“Grace is great with all different animals especially dogs and treats them like they are her own! You feel very confident leaving your pet in her care as she gives them so much love and affection, keeping them happy and well cared for until you get home. She is great at what she does and takes care of all your pets needs and much much more. Everytime i leave my dog, Theo, with her when i leave town he gets so excited and is jumping up and down when he sees her. She keeps you updated the whole time, making sure you feel included in their stay and how they are doing. She takes him on lots of walks, buys cute little toys for him to play with at her place, has plenty of treats for him, and keeps him well groomed for me when I get back. I won't use anyone else when I have to leave town for a trip or business as my dog absolutely loves her! Leaving your pets in her care is like leaving them with a friend or family member as she gives them so much love and attention. I am very pleased with her work and highly recommend her!”
