I will follow whatever set of instructions fits yours and your animals needs best, more detailed the better so I can take care of them to my best ability. I can give meds as I do to my own dog at home. Lots of potty breaks and time outside playing or just soaking up the sun!

Information Jace B. would like to know about your pet

If you would please let me know ahead of time if your animals have any specific or special care need/instructions, I want to take care of them to the best of my ability as if it were you there

A typical day

Just like a dog, i like long walks and to play ball and tug of war i hope yours does too! For my dog I take his kong or lick matt and freeze Greek yogurt or peanut butter inside and then let him work at getting it out and if suitable for your pet I think it's a great idea to wind down after play time a walk or an hour or so before bed (so they have time for potty). Every dog and cat is different and im okay doing whatever is fun and mentally stimulating for them!

I'm very experienced. Very reliable

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Jace, I have grown up around cats and dogs all my life, and worked with them in all their stages of life. I worked on a cattle ranch for a few months in utah. I can care for dogs, cats, and any other pet you have. I'm a hard worker, and very reliable. You can contact me anytime to change your needs, check-in on how things are going, and specify any details on how to better care for you pet. I currently have one pet of my own, a golden retriever border collie mix (age 7) . I am able to teach puppies the basics such as sit, stay, come, and even fetch if I work with them long enough. Negotiable on price, and can sit in hotels if needed.

Nothing short of amazing. Is there a 10 star option for the extra happy client? You always get worried about your fur babies. I could tell the first conversation we had to the last before he came to watch our three girls for the afternoon - through late night on 8/8, he would be a perfect match for our girls. The backstory. We live in Wyoming and we came to Washington to see my husbands 92 yo parents. Well we needed a small break so decided to get a hotel and try Rover. We booked a hotel and did the request for an in Hotel Dog sitter. Not exactly conventional, but with great communication from Jace he was willing to come and take care of our 3 Boston Terriers, Magoo, Opie and Pandie. He was very professional, informative, kept you in the loop of arrival time and sure seemed excited to meet our girls and help us out. Since it probably wasn’t a typical booking, when he arrived at hotel, after they were so excited to meet someone knew and showered him with kisses, paws, and their presence, I had him hook up leashes, while having him solely hold leashes and walk them to get a feel of how they walk together and how one pulls a bit more. We walked to the dog relief area, gave a couple tips and little signs to watch for to help them keep task on hand. I could tell he was relaxed and comfortable immediately , gave the words he was good and ready. Note: My 3 girls were very warm and welcoming and competing for his attention. Dogs know! They sensed Jace was one of the “Good Guys”and just wanted scratches and be with him. If they could have spoke it would have been “when are you leaving?” to us. Like they couldn’t wait for the “fun babysitter” as their “new found friend” had arrived. We left for ferry to catch a “Mariners Game” 8/8/25. It was a late 6:40 game and he was understanding it may run later, which this one didn’t at all, but was flexible. Jace sent pictures of them on the leashes together outside the room, and hanging out in the hotel room. Kept me updated on when he took them out and back and could tell he not only cared about us as a client, but the 3 dogs we had as well. When we arrived, they were all snuggled for the long haul watching a movie, They were surprised to see us and happy, but they were totally content hanging out with their new found friend. Long explanation of our experience I know. But if you care who you invite to your house, or walk your dogs, or staying in communication with pictures, this is your guy! A pleasant, respectful, young man that you can tell he really enjoys what he does and we were sure glad we found him! Thanks Jace, looking forward to another day/evening before we head back to Wyoming. I will always keep you in mind for our frequent visits to our 92 year old parents who could never do what Jace did for us this evening. Thank you!

We have two needy pups who do not do well on their own for long periods of time. Jace came for the day while we were out and we came home to some happy pups. Jace was on time and very friendly. The pups took to him right away. He sent photos through out the day with updates which we really appreciated.
