Compassionate and responsible care

Hi! My name is Jackie and I have been caring for dogs and cats for almost 40 years! I am a responsible animal lover, with a special place in my heart for senior dogs. My most recent fur baby had separation anxiety, so I know the mutual anxiety that can go along with leaving your pet alone. Let me help! I am available for drop-in visits, dog walking, doggy day care and overnight pet sitting (in my home or yours). Please note that meet and greets are REQUIRED for all first time bookings. It is important for me to get to know your pet(s) in advance of providing any service(s). It will not only give them comfort to meet me in your presence so that they become familiar with me, but it also provides you with the opportunity to fill me in on any special needs (medications, food, etc.) or behaviors. I have a 24-hour CANCELLATION policy for any scheduled services . Any cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled service will incur a fee equal to 50% of the total cost of the cancelled service(s).

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a smoke-free home with a fenced yard. There are no children present, so your pet will get my full attention. I have experience caring for senior dogs. If your dog is not able to walk long distances, I have a pet stroller where they can ride in style and get some fresh air.

Jackie is great and our dog Kiki loves to hang out with her (Kiki loves Jackie!!). Now, we don't need to worry about leaving Kiki if we go away because we know that Jackie will make Kiki feel like she's right at home.

Jackie has been watching my two dogs, Finn & Rose, for several years, and there is no one I trust more to care for them. She is a true dog lover. She is gentle and caring and takes care of all their needs. Rose, who passed away last year, had several illnesses that required medication which Jackie administered whenever she watched them. Jackie has walked my dogs, fed them and provided meds. She has also stayed at my house and cared for the dogs during my week long vacations. She always left my house in perfect condition. I trust her with my home and my dogs. I highly recommend her to walk and watch anyone's pets.

Jackie is our first call when we need a dog walker. She cares for our pup as much as we do. We wouldn't leave our dog with anyone else. Our dog is always relaxed and calm when we get back. Jackie is so attentive to our pup that I'm not sure she even notices when we are away.

My sister Jackie has been a responsible pet owner and caregiver since she was a teenager. She is caring and compassionate, and treats all dogs and cats under her care as if they were her own. Jackie loves pets of all ages, but has extra love in her heart for seniors. She can often be seen walking behind a dog stroller to make sure dogs who are unable to walk long distances get fresh air. Our friends who trust their pets to Jackie’s care often comment how thankful they are for the text message updates and photos she sends on a daily basis. I’m sure you too will have a great experience if you entrust your fur baby to Jackie!

We trust Jackie with our greatly loved cats in no uncertain terms! She has been reliably caring for our kitties when we take our annual one week vacation for many years - alleviating stress for humans and little beasties alike! Not only does she well perform the necessary duties of cat care, she also takes the time interact, play and even send us pics of our critters who've come to know and love her too! We're so lucky to have Jackie and highly recommend her!
