Pet care experience
I have been surrounded by animals my whole life! My mother was such a sucker for rescuing dogs and cats from shelters or even animals we saw roaming the Iowa countryside. Growing up, we had a pug who I would try to take on 2-3 walks a day. We would get around the block and then she would flop to the ground and refuse to walk anymore unless I mentioned a treat was in store for her if we went just a little bit farther. Unfortunately, she passed away about five years ago and since then, I've moved out of my parent's house filled with two rescue dogs. Since moving out and missing a dog of my own, I’ve just been looking to get my animal fix in by helping out anyone who is in need of it. I have been babysitting children for about seven years and that often meant caring for their animals as well. I often would be their go-to house sitter/animal sitter if they were going on a trip for the weekend. Throughout my life, I have had many animals (cats, hermit crabs, dogs, hamsters, etc) but almost three years ago now, I rescued two kittens from a shelter and have enjoyed every minute of it. They bring so much joy to my life and I completely understand how our animals truly become part of the family. My care style is all about communication and trust--I want each and every client of mine to feel assured that they've left their pet in the hands of someone who they can trust but also someone who understands.
Reviews
Jacee was an absolute DREAM to work with. She left extremely detailed notes that really put my mind at ease when traveling. I would definitely ask her to drop in for my cats again.
Cannot say enough great things about Jacee! A true gem to our babies Miko and Nala. THANK YOU JACEE
Jacee was wonderful, and I plan to use her again! She was very communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and I came home to a very content cat. I would absolutely recommend Jacee!
Jacee is the GOAT! Never fails to amaze us. On short notice, she came to check out our two cats while we went to Michigan for the weekend. So so great, 10/10 recommend! Thank you Jacee!

I have two cats who have grown up with a goldendoodle so they are quite familiar with dogs. In my client's homes, I treat each pet as if it were my own-- lots of attention, care, and love!
Home
Information Jacee F. would like to know about your pet
I just ask that you provide me with as much useful information as you think I would need. I love asking clients about their pets' personalities, behaviors, and especially how they are with other dogs/what you would like me to do if we happen upon another dog on a walk.
A typical day
I love going on walks and meeting the dogs where they are. If they are a fast walker and a go-getter, I am one too. If they are more of a leisurely walker and a sniffer, I meet them where they are and go at their own speed. While I enjoy the walks just as much as they do, the walk really is for them!
