When I do step out to go to the gym or run errands, dogs may be alone for short periods, with the longest being up to 4 hours. Mornings and evenings include potty breaks, feeding, and playtime, with plenty of attention and lounging throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets in a safe, calm, and welcoming home environment where they’re treated like part of the family. I’m attentive to routines, feeding instructions, and individual needs, and I make sure dogs feel comfortable and secure while they’re with me. My home is dog-friendly, and I’m mindful about creating a low-stress space where pets can relax, play, and settle in easily.

Information Jace M. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn as much as possible about each dog ahead of time, including feeding schedules, routines, energy level, house rules, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. Let me know about any quirks, preferences, or special care instructions.

A typical day

A typical day includes morning potty breaks, feeding, and playtime, followed by plenty of companionship throughout the day since I work from home. Dogs can play, relax, nap, and cuddle on the couch or bed, depending on their energy level. I enjoy interactive play like fetch and tug and make time to engage with each dog so they feel happy and included. If the weather is nice, I typically take dogs on longer walks or head to the park for extra exercise and enrichment.

Pet care experience

I provide in home dog boarding in a relaxed, loving environment alongside my two friendly, well socialized dogs. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention throughout the day. My dogs are allowed on the couch and bed, and visiting pups are welcome to cuddle, lounge, and play right alongside us. I take time to play with each dog, match their energy level, and stick to their usual routines so they feel comfortable and at ease

100% recommended. I met Jace through Rover just two days before Christmas, when I was desperately searching for a new pet sitter while I was out of the country. The sitter I had booked months in advance suddenly decided to kick out my senior dog with special needs. Jace had just recently started his business on Rover, and after a single phone call, I immediately realized how experienced and trustworthy he was—especially as a dog owner himself. He quickly put my mind at ease and not only took Frida in on extremely short notice, but also rescued her from a negligent situation with the sitter I had hired. Jace took care of my dog Frida for two and a half weeks, helped get her potty schedule back on track, gave her so much love, and sent the cutest daily updates while I was away. I don’t just highly recommend Jace—I am truly grateful for him. What a wonderful human. 10 out of 10 stars. He’s the best, and I will 100% hire him again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
