About Grace

Hi there,

I'm Grace, a former International Primary Teacher. I've recently quit teaching (and city life) after 7 years and am looking for a slower pace of life, surrounded by nature (and doggies)! 

I am a huge animal lover and have lots of experience with all kinds of animals - especially with dogs. I rescued two dogs whilst I was living and teaching in Shanghai. Being rescues required a very gentle hand, extra love and extra fiddly things such as administering all kinds of meds. One of the dogs, Ziggy (the poodle in my pics) I re-homed to a loving family - he's now living it up in Washington DC, drinking puppuccinos in Starbucks. The other dog, Nelly, is now happily in England with me - she's a jet-setter. Generally, I've grown up with dogs all my life and I love them! 

I know how scary it can be leaving your pup in the hands of someone else, I have done this with my own dogs. I can promise I will treat your fur baby as if they were my own - with loads of love and cuddles, and keep you up to date on all the fun!

I have had lots of experience pet sitting during my time in Australia with my partner, Carly. We looked after many different kinds of doggos - from a cheeky little pomeranian called Rafi, to a loyal old deerhound called Shadow. We got used to adminstering all kinds of meds - orally, in food, and even as insulin injections (although this was on cats). 

I loved my pet sitting experience and would love to continue the pet sitting back here in the UK.

Why you should choose me:

- Genuinely loving and caring... I'll treat your dog like the prince/princess fur baby angel they are!

- Trustworthy and reliable - see my previous reviews of Aussie House Sitters on my pics.

- Experienced with rescues.

- Pet CPR and First Aid certified.

- Experience with adminstering meds.

Please feel free to get in touch if you'd like any more info! Hope to meet your little (or large) one very soon!

We booked Grace to look after our 16 week old puppy in our home, for quite a long day, and she was perfect! Grace looked after Nala wonderfully, played with her, walked her, kept up her training and spent dedicated time with her keeping her company. We were quite nervous about leaving Nala for a whole day, but Grace made us feel at ease with communication/photos/videos. We can’t thank Grace enough for looking after Nala so well and highly recommend Grace. Grace was super lovely, caring and kind. Thank you again, Grace! ✨

We are so happy we chose Grace to take care of our dog. We had never left him before due to his serious anxiety and were very worried, but we needn't of worried because Grace gave us regular updates, photos/videos and when we returned we found a very happy and relaxed dog. She followed all our instructions and provided him with all the hugs and love he needed. A huge thanks to Grace!!! Could not of wished for a better dog sitter 🙂.
