Pet care experience
Active couple, love the outdoors!
We grew up with dogs of our own and learned from a young age how much a dog adds to your life! Now being a dog owner I use Rover myself and find it so satisfying to know that my almost 8 year old boy Patric is in good hands when we are away. Such a great service I decided I'd like to board pups myself. I started as a sitter on Rover July, 2018 and it has been so fun and I am learning so much. I live within a short walk to hiking trails in town-owned reservation as well as short ride to Breakheart Reservation. We (my husband and I) visit places like these with our dog Patric (weather and season permitting) several times a week! We love these hikes as much as he does, and my dog gets to do what dogs love; smell different scents, interact with babbling brooks (especially fun!), climb on rocks, enjoy the sounds of chirping birds and the occasional woodpecker, and meet other humans with their pets while walking in a neutral setting. In short, experience nature and socialize at the same time.* This routine works well and sets the tone that the rest of the day our pup (and dog guests) are satisfied and calm. We also do neighborhood walks and people watching during the day while the fenced in backyard is there for outside breaks at anytime. We explore a lot and meet lots of wonderful dogs and their owners. Your dog will be well cared for, with lots of activity and field trips; we would love to share our fun experiences with your pup while you are away! (I fully understand how difficult it is to leave your dog with someone else - I am committed while watching your dog that they experience fun, adventures outside, lots of playing, and loads of love and attention. What we hope for with our own pup when he is with a sitter -nothing less. ) Please note: I typically do not book back to back boarding for pups as I don't get any work done! Along with I enjoy the dogs more when there are breaks in between. If I decline a request that very well may be the reason so don't take it personally. PLEASE NOTE: I am not available during most of November, 2024 to host dogs. Thank you.

Ratings and reviews
Jackie is a godsend. We had a minor emergency that impacted our ability to pick up our dog when we planned. There was some uncertainty and Jackie was understanding and accommodating. We always know that Jackie will take great care of our dog and can travel with confidence knowing she’s in good hands.
Jackie is like family for our dog, we’ve been coming back to her many times during our vacations, we know he is in good hands and has a nice furry friend Patrick to play with! :)
Jackie is a wonderful host. Callie was so happy and cared for. It’s a relief when you know your furry friend is content and safe. Communication was fantastic and she was flexible when I needed flexibility. Her dog Patric was also a very welcoming host.
Super friendly, attentive to detail, and sent us lots of pics! Great place to leave our dogs, look forward to repeat visits and would definitely recommend!
Jackie was fantastic! She asked lots of questions and I could tell was very caring for our Wally. She sent photos everyday.
Jackie provides great updates and Sophia has so much fun with Patric!!! I wouldn’t hesitate to contact Jackie with any fur baby needs 😀 Responsive, caring and very communicative!

Schedule
If you do book with me, please come prepared with a printout of your dogs normal at- home schedule for exercise, meals, potty habits, naps and bedtime routine. I am a helicopter Mom with my own dog as well as the dogs that stay here. They are treated like children and I am careful with their care.
