Pet care experience
☆ COVID-19 UPDATE ☆ I'm still available for all those in need of assistance during these rough times, especially those who are considered essential employees—medical or otherwise. Prices will remain at my normal rate, but I'm willing to offer lower rates to help any who need it—please feel free to reach out if you need any help. Stay safe everyone. An avid animal lover who wants to help you take care of your companions. I've grown with several different animals in my house and have been surrounded by a variety of others. I've always been fascinated by the diversity of personalities that I meet and would love to get to know you and yours! Contact Hours and Availability (as a full-time college student these times will change every few months): All Week: 6:00 A.M.-10:00 P.M. Drop-Ins (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, bunnies, pigs, and more!): I have performed several drop-ins for neighbors while they have been gone, for up to a week. My experience with drop-ins is predominantly with smaller breeds (of dogs), though I am always willing to check in on larger ones. Though I have only ever done official drop-ins for dogs I can do them for others (such as those listed above), as I have experience caring for them. If you have any questions, let me know! Walking (dogs, <80 lbs): I've walked a range of dogs from a Shih-tzu to a German Shepherd. I keep constant vigilance on my charges and the surroundings and will generally only walk them in non-busy areas, if possible, to prevent any accidents from occurring. ☆ 80 lbs is my limit for walks (though, not for drop-ins or house sitting), I'm a petite individual and 80 lbs is the largest weight I have walked for dogs. It's a weight I know I can handle, even if they get startled, lunge, etc. If your puppy is over 80 lbs, for the safety of themselves and myself, please contact another sitter. House Sitting (repeat clients only): I believe for both sides to be comfortable with house sitting there needs to be a measure of trust that requires more than a meet and greet. Therefore, it is only available for my repeat clients. Details of house sitting depends on client preferences and my availability—contact me for more information. Notice About Rates: My holiday rate only applies to a select few holidays (Christmas, Thanksgiving, and New Years). When requesting a booking Rover will automatically apply the holiday rate on what they have marked as holidays—I usually catch it and change the rate before confirming a booking, but if I don't please let me know so I can reduce the cost for you. Feel free to ask any questions regarding costs. Thank you for your time, hope to see you soon!
Reviews
Jacie is always a pleasure to work with! She truly loves and cares about our dog and takes the best pictures with updates while we’re gone. She goes above and beyond, communicates well and has been extremely flexible with our needs. We’ve booked with her several times and highly recommend!
Jacie was amazing! She took good care of my dogs really well and treated them like they were her own. She would always update me on the walks and how my dogs were doing at the moment she walked them. Also would send me cute pictures of them. She’s definitely reliable and trustful. I was worried my dogs were not going to warm up to her but they loved her the first time they saw her. I really appreciate her and the dogs do too!
Jacie is awesome! She takes very good care of my pup and is sure to keep me updated on her visit. She’s reliable and he loves her. Definitely recommend!
Jacie is terrific. She bonded so well with our furry family and took great care of them. She really went above and beyond

Information Jacie W. would like to know about your pet
What allergies do they have? Are there any behavioral concerns I should be aware of? Do they have separation anxiety? Do they have any medical conditions I should be aware of? How well do they do with leashes? Should I be prepared to brace myself for 40+ lbs of fur to jump on me when we meet? I have no breed preferences, all are welcome!
A typical day
I prefer to plan my walks after getting to know your dog: do they prefer being close to home, where they are most familiar with the area? Neighborhood walk! Do they prefer solitude, or like exploration and discovery? We can go on a hike! To do my best in ensuring the safety of any pooches in my care, I avoid areas I think will have many other dogs (e.g., dog parks) until I have gotten to know them extremely well and believe there will be next to no risk, and only with your permission. Activities depend---I'll play fetch, tug-of-war, get that squeaker, or we can just relax for a few moments with some nice scratches or cuddles.
