Caring Dog Handler and Pet Sitter

I currently work at GRVH as a vet assistant in Lowell. I lived in Alaska for 5 years and worked at a number of animal care facilities trying to find my niche; such as Anchorage Animal Control, The Hound Lounge Doggy Daycare, and The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and the Alaska SPCA. I have experience with all kinds of dog breeds and cats. I love house and dog sitting for clients. I enjoy going on walks and taking fur babies on fun adventures outdoors. I traveled to Alaska from Grand Rapids, MI, and brought my two doggos with me (they are family after all) I've also had experience with dog aggressive, and food aggressive behaviors, diabetic injections and other medication administration. I'm open to all kinds of animals and would love to meet your pets. ❤️ I work long shifts at the hospital and have 3-4 days off per week! On my off days I spend most of the time outside. I have a fenced in yard with two friendly doggos and plenty of room in the house. They can be crated easily if need be.

We're always happy when Jackie is able to care for Kaci. She understands the needs of our senior kitty with special needs.

Our girl Kaci loves visits with Jackie! Jackie know exactly what Kaci needs and wants and gives it to her! Now, Kaci would like 3 times the food and treats, but Jackie know that isn't in the cards. Sorry Kaci!!!

Kaci is always happy when Jackie comes to visit and so are we! Kaci has her "demands" and "requirements" and Jackie provides her with great loving care. Thanks Jackie!

No breed preferences! I love all kinds of dogs and have experience with them. Any behavioral issues I'd like to know such as food aggression, toy aggression, not friendly with people/other dogs.
