Senior/Special Needs Friendly!

Pet care experience

I'm a nurse with two elder pups at home. Our home is quiet and safe. I cater to small seniors with special needs like diet restrictions, meds or mobility issues.

Jackie is a phenomenal pet sitter! I leave my high maintenance English Bulldog with her regularly - whether I am running errands that day or out of town. He has morning/evening meds he must take and she always ensures he's on schedule. I'm regularly getting updates about his behavior via texts or cute pics. Jackie is so loving and caring with animals - it's hard to compare her to other sitters. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Jackie is the most loving, responsible caregiver for pets (and people). She has fostered/adopted rescue pigeons and dogs in all stages of life and health, and has gone to great lengths to assure they are healthy, happy, and thriving, and treated with loving care. There is no better household or caregiver for creatures- she is the best!

Jackie took care of our dogs, Max and Ollie, during really challenging periods in their lives: Max had late-stage encephalopathy and Ollie had cancer. Jackie is deeply intuitive when it comes to communicating with dogs - she listens to them, pays deep and close attention, and makes sure that the dogs' needs and desires are honored while also keeping them safe and loved. She is deeply affectionate and playful, and knows how to share space, give space, hold boundaries, and meet dogs where they are at in order to give them the best experience possible. I have watched Jackie care for dogs ranging from her own two Chihuahua mixes to her terminally ill pitbull, and in each relationship she treats the dog like the unique individual creature that they are, worthy of respect and care. Her experience as a nurse, I think, really informs her tender and thoughtful relationship to dogs, and she always prioritizes lots of fun and play and experiential adventures. There's no one I would trust more to take care of my pups!

I have two gentle seniors of my own to show your dog the ropes. They have all-day access to a safe and sunny yard. The property does have multiple levels but there is safe outdoor access on each level. Dogs are allowed on furniture in this house! We do have lots of floor level beds and a crate hideaway.

Information Jackie O. would like to know about your pet

My place is small, so I prefer to welcome smaller breeds who are good with other seniors. I do have different levels, including a spiral staircase.

A typical day

We start our day with a short walk while I sip my coffee, then do a longer walk around the neighborhood or a beach hike at Fort Funston or Ocean Beach later in the day.
