Pet care experience

Would love to take care of your dog

I have owned and helped take care of my family’s animals since I was around 6 years old. I am a dog mom to a 4 year old golden retriever and she is my world. I would love to do anything that I can to help you and take care of your pet while you are away or just need an extra hand. I can go on walks with them, play with them, feed them, and keep them safe! I can also help bathe them and keep them groomed by brushing them. I am a photographer so I have relatively open availability. If you’re interested in hiring me, please let me know and we can talk about your pet and your expectations for me as a sitter. Looking forward to talking with you and meeting with your pets!!

We hired Jaci to watch our pups when we had to go out of town fairly last minute!

Jaci Gaines is one of, if not the most sweet, caring, and kind hearted person I've ever met and have enjoyed many trips to visit various different puppies just so that she could show them her love and attention. No one else better recommended than her, hands down.

Jaci has watched my 2 dogs (plus a cat who thinks he's a dog) multiple times. They love her. Seriously, my dogs usually pout any time I leave the house, but when Jaci comes to take care of them, they forget that I exist and just play with her. She's watched them when I'm gone overnight, as well as when I'm just gone for a few hours during the day, and she's always great.

I have a 2 year old German Shepherd and he absolutely loves Jaci. She is very energetic, friendly and dependable. She has been caring for him since he was 8 weeks old.

Schedule

My dog is my entire world so I know exactly how anyone who trusts their pet with anyone else feels. There is so much love and support coming from my side of taking care of them. I talk to them like they are people and give them reassurance when it rains or when they miss you. For stop ins, it’s super easy for me to sit with them for up to an hour, giving them affection and company. For my own dog, we go on walks a lot and do tricks and puzzles to ensure brain exercise during the day.

Pets

A typical day

I love to go on walks and let them sniff around to get their scents in. Tug of war, ball, and cuddles are my personal favorite things to do, but I will keep an open mind for each special friend!

I would like to know any bad habits that the dogs may have and what to watch out for. I would also like to know what their favorite things are to do! Not about the dog, but I would love to meet and go beyond the owner’s expectations of the care they want for their dog! I do not have an breed preference and I am open to cats!
