About Grace

Who am I?

Hey I’m Grace!! I’m a dog lover based near Albert Park, with hands-on experience dog walking and pet sitting for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I’ve also volunteered in New Zealand with the RSPCA and volunteer now at the Lost Dogs here in Melbourne. I grew up on a farm in NZ so have been confident around animals forever!

What kind of care can you expect?

I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your dog with someone new. I aim to provide reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring support that feels like an extension of your home. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and routine are always my priority.

What services do I offer?

I offer flexible services depending on your needs, including dog walking, daytime visits, and pet sitting (either at your home or mine). Each service is tailored to suit your dog and your schedule.

In terms of pricing:

30 min walk - $20 ($5 add on for an extra dog)

1 hour walk - $35 ($5 add on for an extra dog)

For other services such as overnight stay or dog boarding at mine, the price varies on the dogs size, breed, and temperament. Anywhere from $60-$90 per day/night.

How are walks tailored to your dog?

I adjust every walk based on your dog’s age, energy level, and personality—whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more active outing. I also live close to several great dog parks, including Gasworks Arts Park, giving your dog access to safe and enjoyable outdoor spaces.

What happens during home visits or pet sitting?

During visits or stays, I ensure your dog is fed, has fresh water, gets plenty of attention and enrichment, and has regular bathroom breaks. I’m mindful of maintaining their usual routine so they feel secure and settled.

What if your dog stays at my home?

If your dog is staying with me, you can refer to my photo gallery to see the environment they’ll be in. I live near three dog parks for regular outings. There are no other pets in my home, and I have a small, fully enclosed garden for safe outdoor time.

How will I keep you updated?

I prioritise clear and consistent communication. I’ll send regular updates, including messages and photos, so you can feel reassured while you’re away. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions and will check in if anything comes up.

Why choose me?

You can expect me to be punctual, responsible, and fully focused on your dog’s wellbeing. I treat every dog like they’re my own and understand the trust involved in their care. Having recently moved from New Zealand and left my own cocker spaniel behind, I genuinely miss being around dogs and bring that care into every visit.

How can you get in touch?

I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your dog. Please get in contact if I can help care for your pet—whether it’s for an hour or a full day. Xx
