A friend to all with fur!

I love watching animals and I want to be friends with yours! I am a cat dad of three and value the bond built between a person and their animal, and aim to treat your furry family the way I would want my own to be treated. Aside from years of work on Rover, I am always the first option for the people close to me because they know they can trust me.

Another great stay with Trace! I really appreciate how reliable Trace is - he's always on time, communicates well, leaves the house clean. Hallie has gotten quite grumpy in her old age, and Trace takes that in stride. Thanks Trace!

Trace is fantastic! Dependable, communicative, and great with our dog. Any pup would be lucky to meet Trace.

Schedule

I work full-time M-F but mostly work from home, so I have a lot of flexibility to step out to check on your loved ones—especially in the morning and later afternoon/evening. I also generally have an open schedule on weekends for drop-ins.

Safety, trust & environment

I always strive to make my and anyone else's pets feel safe and comfortable. I've met many cats and dogs that get easily overwhelmed, so I always work to give animals their proper space/calming energy if needed. On the other hand, if someone wants a lot of attention, I make sure to meet their excitement and will always play with them as much as they want! It comes down to making sure they know they are safe and cared for, but also that they are respected.

Pets

A typical day

I love to get active with dogs and move at their pace while out on walks, allowing them to relax or play as they see fit while getting exercise and fresh air! For cats, I enjoy getting them stimulated with their toys, or just chilling and relaxing together if they’re a little bit more low-energy.

Cats
Trace can host up to 1 pet per night
Please let me know any special needs that may be pertinent to know if watching your pet! I will do my best to accommodate anything needed, and letting me know ahead of time helps me prepare for the best visit possible.
