Care That Feels Like Home

Thanks for considering me for your pet’s care ❤️ I am currently away until I have clarity into my 2026 work travel schedule. For over 14 years, I cared for two deeply loved dogs - Charlie and Indiana - through every stage of their lives, including special diets, medications, and the realities of aging. I’ve handled everything from leash pulling to pet reactivity, separation anxiety to senior care, and understand how unique each animal’s needs can be. Since losing both of them, I’ve felt the pull to keep sharing that care. I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet - it brings peace when you’re away. I’ve been that person for family and friends for years, and I’d be honored to be that for you, too. In addition to providing a fun and safe environment, I have two goals when pet sitting: 1. Providing care that feels like home, even when you’re away 2. Becoming your pet’s second favorite person! House Sitting/Boarding Note: This service includes 60 minutes for walks. This can be broken into two 30 minute walks and can be used for two dogs if walked together. Dogs that require separate walks or walks beyond 60 minutes/day will require booking additional dog walking services. Please let me know if you have any questions. Communication Note: When not actively sitting, I typically take a break from my phone on Sundays. I appreciate your patience as I get caught up on requests on Monday 🙂

Jace took care of my pups over the holidays and did an excellent job of making sure they were comfortable while dad was away. Highly recommend!

Jace was absolutely wonderful with our two 3 yo Shitzus, Louie and Gizmo! They loved here right away at the meet and greet! She followed all of our instructions and sent pics daily and updates on how they were doing. We are definitely going to call on her again and refer her to anyone we know who needs a great dog sitter! Thanks Jace from the bottom of our hearts 💕 for taking such good care of our two boys!!

Jace did an excellent job pet sitting my two pups. They are a bit shy, but warmed up to her quickly. She sent plenty of updates and photos so I knew they were doing okay while I was traveling.

Jace inspires confidence. She has a great way with the dogs, is responsive and easy to work with. I had a kind of iffy situation wherein the doggies needed her while I had surgery. She showed up in all the ways. She will be my go-to dog person as long as she can do it.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work remotely with a relatively flexible schedule. I will be home with your pet the entire workday, making walks, potty breaks and snuggles easy! I can typically cater the rest of my schedule to your pet’s needs as well. They’re the priority when I’m sitting ❤️

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I know how important it is to give each pet the unique care they need. Following your care instructions and preferences is my guarantee. No matter your pet’s age, size or needs, they will be safe, snuggled and secure in the way that suits them best.

A typical day

I am fairly fit and no stranger to a trailhead, so I’m open to exploring the world in whatever way brings joy to your furry family. Whether it’s strolling along to smell every blade of grass like Charlie did or hurrying to take in as much as possible like Indy, I’m ready!

Please let me know of any special care your beloved needs beyond standard TLC. I gently cared for both of my dogs well into their senior years, so I’m accustom to special harnesses for mobility, choosing just the right amount of peanut butter to hide meds in, giving massages, etc. I’ve also cared for rambunctious puppies (or dogs who think they’re puppies no matter the age/size), as well as dogs with separation anxiety and other behavioral quirks. Just fill me in beforehand so I know what they need and how they are accustom to being cared for.
