Availability

I'm currently working part-time so I have a flexible and fairly available schedule. Mornings and evenings are always free for me, and the optimal time for walks or adventures. Depending on the day, I can also provide afternoon care and have the flexibility to work with your pets needs. Weekends are also usually free for me and I can provide full-day care or longer outdoor adventures like hikes!

Safety, trust & environment

I am respectful of boundaries and understand that some pets might be hesitant towards a new person and might need longer to get comfortable. Getting a clear understanding of what comforts and routine the pet has (favorite toy, sleeping spot, treat after play time, etc.) will help me maintain that routine and make sure the pet is as comfortable as they can be. I also have experience with senior dogs who prefer to stay closer to home and can be patient and attentive to their needs. I pay close attention to the behaviors of the pet and communicate with owners if there are any changes to that behavior. It's important to meet the pet once or twice before caring for them to make sure a connection has been established and that the pet is comfortable in my presence.

Information Jackie R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know how your dog/s are around other dogs and people, this will determine if I walk the dog on a busier trail or a quiet one - or if they enjoy going to dog parks! Also if dogs need any medicine or supplements let me know.

A typical day

I really enjoy walking at the dog park and on local trails! Let me know if your dog/s do morning or night walks (or both) and I can make that work to maintain their routine. I am very comfortable with both dog parks here in Santa Fe (Ortiz and Animal Shelter park) and can make trips there. Also if the pup is up for it I like to do local hikes on Dale Ball Trails or Atalaya, Borrego, etc.

Jackie R.'s Neighborhood

Nature loving dog sitter!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for animals my whole life and I have also spent time volunteering at animal shelters, walking and playing with the animals. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. Family friends and neighbors have relied on me to walk, feed and stay with their pets when they are away or during their busy schedules. I have experience with senior dogs and puppies. I love to get outside and adventure, so I can take your pup/s on local trails like Dale Balls or Atalaya.

Both my dog and cat were well cared for, and Jackie let me know if there were any issues as they arose during my trip. Thanks, Jackie!
