Pet care experience

Loving care for your best friend

I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have never lived in a home without pets. I’ve had four dogs over the years and have cared for many different types of animals since I was a kid. Animals have always been a constant part of my life, not just something I do occasionally. Throughout my life, I’ve also continually volunteered at animal shelters and farms, which has given me hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Currently, I care for a Great Pyrenees and seven cats, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, multi-pet households, and managing different routines and personalities. I take pride in being patient, attentive, and dependable, and I treat every pet as if they were my own while keeping owners informed and at ease.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on creating a calm, safe environment and follow all care instructions closely. I respect pets’ routines, keep spaces clean and secure, and take a gentle, patient approach—especially with cats or shy pets. I also treat clients’ homes with care and communicate clearly for peace of mind.

Jackalyn was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my girls and truly treated them like they were her own. She kept me updated the entire time, was super communicative, accommodating, and very detailed about how they were doing. She also sent me the cutest pictures, which I loved and really helped me feel at ease while I was at work. My girls looked so happy and comfortable with her, and I could tell they absolutely loved spending time with her. It’s always nerve-racking leaving your pets with someone, but Jackalyn made the whole experience so easy and stress-free. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future. She’s truly the best!
