⭐ Employee Spotlight ⭐
It takes a special kind of person to do what we do, and we’re lucky to have a team that shows up every day with heart, patience, and a whole lot of love for dogs. This month, we’re excited to spotlight one of the incredible leaders who helps make Allie’s Walkabout feel like home 🐶🩵
Grace joined our team in June 2022 and has grown into a wonderful Shift Manager. She has a natural ability to bring calm to even the craziest shifts, and her team knows they can always count on her for guidance, encouragement, and a little perspective when things get overwhelming.
One of Grace’s greatest strengths is her leadership. She’s patient when teaching new handlers, quick to recognize when someone needs a little extra support, and never afraid to jump in and demonstrate how something should be done. She leads by example and makes sure the people around her know how much they’re valued. One of her favorite reminders to her team is that it’s not a bad day, just a bad situation. 🩵
Grace credits much of her outlook on life to her Catholic faith, which she says keeps her grounded in what matters most. Before every shift, she offers her work to God and reminds herself that He is ultimately in charge. No matter what challenges the day brings, she strives to approach her work in a way that honors and glorifies Him. It's a deeply important part of who she is and how she leads.
And while we don’t have favorites… Grace genuinely refuses to pick one! She has a special love for German Shepherds, especially her own pup, who she considers her dream dog. Outside of work, Grace enjoys playing the piano and spending time with her family. And here's a fun fact that tends to surprise people: she has 12 siblings! 😮
Grace’s positivity, honesty, and genuine care for those around her make her an incredible leader and an even better friend. We’re so grateful to have her as part of the Allie’s Walkabout family!
Give Grace a shoutout in the comments to show her some appreciation! 🐾✨
