Information Jacalyn S. would like to know about your pet

I prefer a meet-and-greet to discuss their behaviours , mannerisms, on and off-leash preferences, and what treats they enjoy. We can discuss any specific traits and triggers.

A typical day

We engage in play, have fun, explore various terrains like open fields, woodlands, and local areas, near streams. My goal is to ensure every dog in my care relishes their walk and eagerly anticipates the next adventure with me.

Hi, I’m Jacki – leader of the pack 🐾 Animals have always been at the heart of my life. I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, including some who lived to the amazing ages of 24 and 19, so I truly understand long-term care, patience, and love for pets at every stage of life. I’m also a proud dog mum to Teddy (my playful Cavapoochon) and Darcy (my energetic Cavapoo), who love making new furry friends. After 11 years serving as a Medic in the British Army, I now run a successful pet care service (since 2023), bringing a high level of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail into everything I do. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my top priority. 🐶 What I offer: • Group walks (up to 4 dogs) in safe, enriching environments • Fun, active day care with lots of exercise, play, and socialisation • Loving, home-from-home care where your dog is treated like family 🐾 My experience & qualifications: • Certified in Canine First Aid • Qualified in Dog Behaviour & Canine Holistic Remedies • Basic Grooming trained • Experienced with a wide range of animals – dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, small pets, and even turtles 🚐 Fully equipped & professional: • Fully insured • DBS checked • Secure, purpose-equipped van for safe transport I’m happy to tailor care to your pet’s individual needs, whether they love long adventures, gentle strolls, or just plenty of cuddles and companionship.

I cannot speak highly enough of Jacalyn's cat sitting services. When my elderly mother was suddenly taken into hospital, I contacted Jacalyn on the same day in a panic about who would care for Mum's cat. Jacalyn responded immediately and arranged drop-in visits without hesitation. Throughout this stressful time, Jacalyn was an absolute legend. She was thoroughly professional, reliable, and genuinely caring - not just going through the motions but truly looking after the cat with kindness and attention. Her flexibility as our situation changed was incredibly appreciated, and she kept me updated which gave me tremendous peace of mind while focusing on my mother's care. Jacalyn's service was impeccable from start to finish. I would not hesitate to use her services again and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy, compassionate cat sitter. Thank you, Jacalyn, for everything you did during such a difficult time.

Jacki was brilliant! We had to book a last minute puppy drop in when our usual dog sitter was away and our work schedule changed at the last minute. Jacki dropped in to meet Truffle and us and put our mind so at ease with letting someone new look after our puppy. The photos and communication on the day was also so appreciated. Great to know we have someone trusted if we're ever stuck again. Thank you!
