Lover of Animals & Caring for Them
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of my own dogs and cats since I was 3 or 4 years old. I am one of the biggest animal lovers I know and I really wanted to be a veterinarian growing up. Because I believed this was my trajectory, I started caring for the pets of others at a very young age. Additionally, more recently, when I was living in Maryland I would work for a friend who had her own dog sitting business and I received positive feedback from clients. Currently, I have three (3) dogs. We live in an apartment so I am very used to knowing exactly what is needed to make sure the pups are getting enough exercise and are living a happy life. I have also dealt with various dogs, cats, and guinea pigs needing medication or having other special accommodations. I also have about 10 years of experience caring for horses and some experience caring for other farm animals.
Reviews
Great walker with Bear! He was excited every day to see her!
Jackie was responsive, communicative, and took excellent care of our cat Honey while we were away on vacation. We’d trust her again anytime we need a pet sitter in the future!
Jackie was so kind and flexible. It’s easy to tell she loves animals and I felt happy knowing my doggies would be safe with her
Jackie was great with communicating and sending cute pictures. Dogs came home happy and tired.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I consistently supervise the pets I watch. I give them attention and love and read their cues so that I know what they are comfortable with, especially as trust is being built. Beyond that I make sure to listen to the owner's instructions and adhere to any dietary restrictions.
Information Jackie L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors I should know about, or simply any quirks! An outline of any medications, feeding instructions, and preferred routine should be included.
A typical day
I love to have the pups I watch partake in fun activities that will help exercise both their bodies and their brain! We will go for sniff walks, play outdoors, and partake in some indoor activities. I am also happy to take your dog hiking. Essentially, I customize activities based on a dogs needs/what I am hired for, but your dog's happiness is my top priority.
