“Grace did an amazing job with my dog Nova! I was quite nervous leaving Nova to go overseas on vacation as I have never spent much time away from her. Nova is a high drive dog who needs an experienced handler and a lot of exercise! Upon meeting Grace and hearing of her experience I immediately felt more secure. Grace is kind and responsible with an extensive background in animal care. Nova loved her from the get go as well. Thank you Grace! Knowing that my Nova was able to get some exercise and mental stimulation with someone I felt comfortable with allowed me to really relax and enjoy my vacation experience. You will be my first choice when the next vacation opportunity arises!”
