Information Trace D. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs, toys, food, or treats I should keep on hand? Do they have a specific spot the LOVE to walk at? What does a day in the life of your pet look like?

A typical day

Dog or cat, we’ll match pace. If it’s a vibe kind of day, we’ll chill and play inside. If they want to hit the town and sniff all the smells, we can do that too!

Pet care experience

I’ve had some kind of furry friend for the last 15 years, originally with a Dachshund pup to now caring for 3 cats with my wife - 2 adult and 1 senior - with all sorts of furry friends in between! Throw in our Akita for some chaotic energy as well! I’ve cared for other pets as well on numerous occasions for friends and family, occasionally house sitting for some pets that were unable to be boarded due to stress and anxiety. This included pets that required medication and/or injections as well. I’ve trained all the dogs I had with multiple methods, and manage the current training regiment for our Akita. I’m fluent in basic commands (sit, stay, heel, come) both on and off leash, and have taught additional tricks (paw, kennel) via positive reinforcement techniques.

There are no words to express how wonderful Trace was with our two shepherd mix pups (3 year old big babies) . We had Trace come over for a second round of puppy sitting for two weeks. Earlier too Trace had been amazing when we had him take care of our babies for a weekend. He treated them like his own and was absolutely amazing following all our instructions and going above and beyond for the boys. I highly recommend Trace and i would definitely contact him again for our future puppy sitting assistance.
