11. Grace R.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, from Great Danes, to pugs, to pitbulls, I’ve lived with them all. I am also a recent cat owner of 2 years now. I’m a college student with 1-3 classes each day. I’m free in the mornings before class and after my last class at 2 PM for the rest of the day! I only live with my dogs over winter and summer breaks, and during that time I walk, feed, and play with them. I also spent time with my cat here at my apartment everyday, but this won’t interfere with my services—I’ll be able to meet all your needs!
