Experienced, responsible dog lover!

Pet care experience

I've owned and cared for a full range of dogs with different sizes and personalities - I grew up with boxers and then owned a cockapoo. I understand how important dogs are to people as a member of the family! When I moved to DC for law school seven years ago, I didn't have time to own a dog but fostered many through CityDog Rescue. Fostering entailed normal routines of dog ownership (i.e. walking, feeding, playtime) while also paying attention to specific training needs based on individual dogs. Learning different dog personalities was a routine part of being a good foster, and getting dogs placed with families. I am now an attorney, and miss time with furry friends! I am unable to own my own dog - though I would love to - because I do travel fairly frequently for work. I am extremely responsible, caring, and down to earth. Due to my experience with dogs, they respond well to me, and I find that I am able to adapt quickly to many needs. I have an extremely flexible schedule with work when I'm not traveling, with the option to work from home, so dog care in my home is also an option, and I can walk them frequently! My working style for all responsibilities I take on in life is to meet and exceed expectations. Looking forward to meeting your best friend!

Jackelyn was great and we could tell she truly cared about Murphy’s well being. She sent daily photos and updates on Murphy which made us feel at ease while we were away. Murphy was a very happy pup!

It is clear that Jackelyn really cares for our dog, and our dog for Jackelyn, while we are away. We are always confident he is in good hands with her!

Jackelyn was an excellent sitter for my dog Joey. He seemed to have adjusted very quickly and that makes me happy to see that he was comfortable. I was sent photo updates daily of my boy. Will recommend for future bookings. 10/10

We’re really happy that Jackelyn was available to watch our beloved 60 lb OES/poodle mix this weekend. We were in town from NYC for a wedding and wanted to bring our sweet boy with us. Jackelyn was flexible, communicative, timely, and clearly very comfortable caring for a dog. She sent pictures throughout the weekend and tired him out with walks and play - he slept the whole ride home! Thanks a lot Jackelyn
