Pet care experience
I have watched cats and dogs for my friends for a lot of my life, so I am experienced in general care. I've also raised two kittens on my own and helped to raise my friend's Blue Heeler puppy. I volunteer as a dog walker at a shelter, so I have a good amount of experience in dog walking and some enrichment! So far, I’ve worked with so many different breeds as a Rover walker/sitter, and I’m excited to meet more! I also work at a VCA vet as a technician assistant in specialty surgery (I hope to attend veterinary school one day!). I am no expert but definitely have a good amount of experience in handling dogs and cats and in understanding medical issues! I love animals in general, so I am always willing to learn more beyond the dog and cat :)
Reviews
Jackie was perfect with our girl Roxy for a quick overnight and kept us updated with texts and photos while we were away.
Kenzo had a great time with Jackie!
Jackie did an excellent job watching out 2 dogs and cat! She kept us updated and took great care of our animals!
Jackie followed all instructions and was so helpful with Oakley! Would definitely book again!

Unfortunately with three cats and a dog in our home, it may not be the most suitable for a visitor, but this can be case by case. For the client home, I am always very patient with animals and am willing to learn how to navigate other homes to care for his or her pets. I will make sure the fur babies are as comfortable as possible. And I will surely take any advice from the client regarding their homes or their pets!
Information Jackie K. would like to know about your pet
If a dog has special needs, I'd love to know ahead of time, so I can prepare for whatever accommodations are needed! If a dog prefers certain places or toys or anything, I would also like to make him or her as comfortable as possible, so I would appreciate that information as well!
A typical day
I would consult with the caregiver to find out what activities their pets are interested in and indulge in those activities if possible! I personally enjoy playing with their toys, and I like to take my friend's dog to the park nearby and throwing a frisbee with him.

Jackie can watch in your home
Availability
To be honest, my work schedule isn’t completely consistent which can make a regular weekly schedule not always attainable. Currently, I am mostly available Saturdays and Mondays. I can consider overnight care from Mon-Thurs on a case by case basis as I work during the day. For the most part, if I am free I am happy to do drop ins and walks! Tues-Thurs I work from about 9am-6pm.
