Pet care experience
*My husband and I are both fully Covid Vaccinated* Just moved to a beautiful home in the Sherman Oaks hills with our own private fenced in front and back yard. I am a full time housewife/ freelancer and home all day and would love to take care of your family members while you are at work or away. I have experience in dog sitting and dog training for my friends and their pets since college (15+ years)! My husband and I are medically trained and able to administer medications as need. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns! Look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry family! :) About this sitter: I am a 30 year old young medical professional turned freelance in the LA area. I do a little work from home now and would love to have your pets over to keep me company! :) Why I love dog sitting I've always loved dogs. My little yorkie recently passed away at 17 years old and I've just adopted a mini-husky who is about 8 months old now! Before then I had a cocker spaniel, and a previous roommate had a pit bull that we shared care for. I've always loved dogs and have dog sat for my friends and family ever since I had my own place in college! I love big dogs, small dogs and everything in between! I also love cat sitting! Just let me know their personality and if they are more dog-like and playful or preferred to be left alone. Meet my pets I have a gray tabby cat that I've named Cat (she adopted us a year ago and I took too long to decide on naming her so now she's forever named Cat). She is mellow and likes to just lounge around. She's accustomed to many different kinds of dogs and cats over the year we've had her and gets along great with everyone. So as long as your pet is friendly with other animals, we would love to have them over. I also have an 8 month old mini-husky who is fully vaccinated and spayed. She is super friendly and LOVES to play! About my yard Our front yard is a three cat driveway and fully gated. The back yard is lush with a low fence all around, but they are always supervised if in either yard. My dog is an escape artist and I'll safely assume yours is too when outdoors. I can walk all of our guests around the block which has lots of dogs in neighborhood and the yard is more for just a quick pee here and there between multiple longer walks throughout the day. I will always keep your pet on a leash. My experience administering medication Yes. I am medically trained for humans (my husband and I are both M.D.'s), but totally comfortable administering oral and injectible medications as needed.
Reviews
I selfishly don't even want to leave a review because I want Jackie to be available to watch Penelope always! Jackie and her husband are amazing, and Penelope had the best time ever! Jackie was AWESOME at communicating every day with photos, videos, and updates on how P was doing. There house is lovely, and their little Cat and P managed to become pals during her stay! (P usually avoids cats as she is scared of them for some reason haha, but Cat managed to make her feel right at home also). If you are looking for a loving and awesome sitter, Jackie is your gal! I cannot say enough great things about her, she's wonderful!
Jackie is amazing! Eiffel loves staying with her. This was our second time, and as soon as we parked the car, he was pulling to get to her place. He comes home happy!
Jackie is great! She took such good care of my French bulldog for about 9 days! She lets the dog to be everywhere in her apartment and send regular updates including pictures and videos. I was very confident she was taking good care of my dog.
Jackie was great with Eli and gave him the love and attention any pup would want being away from their owner. She was very thorough and understanding of his routine and behaviors and sent updates during his time with her. Overall wonderful experience!

Information Jackie D. would like to know about your pet
I'm comfortable with all types and personalities, but please let me know if they are house trained and how frequently they are used to being walked so that I can avoid any potential accidents. I typically feed twice a day (breakfast and dinner) so let me know how much to feed them and if they need more frequent meals. If they have any anxiety or chewing tendencies, let me know just so I can "dog-proof" my home before they arrive. And of course any medications necessary and emergency contact info. I do have a Cat who is super chill and very used to dogs around, but let me know if your pet gets along with cats. It's not a dealbreaker if they don't, Cat will just usually hide in the bedroom anyways, and she's pretty good about being out of the way of overly playful dogs.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I am very centrally located near the Grove. While I mostly tend to just loop around the neighborhood block (lots of grassy yards to sniff), every once in a while (and depending on the dog) I'll take a longer walk to the Grove for a coffee or snack and let them bask in all the attention of passerbys. Lots of smiles, scratches and love! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever your dog normally sleeps. I can set up blankets on the floor if they are most comfortable there, on the couch if they choose, and they are always welcome to snuggle with us on our huge King sized bed! :) Time I'll spend with your dog My schedule is flexible as a housewife, so depending on the needs of your pet, I can arrange to be home every minute of the day, or step out for a little bit at a time for errands as needed.
