Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I helped raise a labrador retreiver puppy, and have watched many friends' dogs throughout my adult life. I have fostered through shelters in WA and NY. I am in a volunteer organization that helps raise puppies to become guide dogs for the blind.

Jackie was great with our pups! We’ve recently had a mobility issue with our one dog but she was understanding and was able to provide her medicine without any issues. She took our other pup out for a little walk each time in addition to taking them both outside for breaks. I could easily see how much fun our pups had with Jackie in the photos that she sent over!

Jackie was so wonderful! Even though this was her first time caring for Cowboy, she was very communicative, and everything went smoothly. I knew instantly that Cowboy was in great hands. Many thanks for the cute photos and for taking such good care of him! :)
