About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I’ve studied dog behavior since I was 8 years old, I’m a self taught dog trainer, and I don’t mind all the fur and mud, I love it! I take my own dogs for hikes 5 days a week, and I understand how to bond with all animals, and meet their personal needs. I’m patient, understanding, and calm with animals. They are truly my passion! I’m currently working a full time job, but I have decided to follow my passion! I will be available for dog sitting/ walking most days/ full time; and I typically start my days around 6:30 AM. I like to be out and about ! My partner and i own 7 acres of land in Essex ma, and I have a fenced in yard. I will keep the dogs relaxed, full of enrichment, and send them home happy, healthy , and tired! I will always ask if they have allergies and do whatever I am asked, and won’t do anything without running it by the owner. After all, they’re not pets; they’re family . I will be sure to send pictures and constant updates and stay by my phone If you ever need to contact me, while your pets are in my care.

Jacquelyn did a great job taking care of my kitten on his first time alone. She followed all instructions exactly, kept in contact with any changes, and took great photos of him playing with her. It was such a relief to know he was safe and happy with her while we were gone.
