Information Jacklyn S. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs of every breed and size! I am more than happy to take any dog on a long walk or just check-in for some playtime and cuddles. However, I do live with a dog of my own. If you choose to board your dog with me he/she will need to get along with other dogs. I am happy to board multiple dogs at a time.

A typical day

We go for daily walks around my neighborhood. We always walk where there are sidewalks or quiet streets and lots of places to smell! We like to go on longer walks throughout the city or the James River Park System. I have lots of friends with dogs and we like to get our dogs together for doggy play dates in a back yard or a dog park!

Dog Mom with a Big Heart

Pet care experience

I am a dog mom to a very sweet cocker spaniel. We live in a house with a fenced in yard in Lakeside. My pup is very mellow and gets along with every dog he meets. My older dog recently passed so he loves having new friends to keep him company or to join him on walks. I have experience with special-needs dogs and have never met a dog I didn't love! I am a public school teacher so my schedule is more flexible June-August. Being a dog mom I know how important it is for your fur baby to get the best care while you are away. It is my goal to make sure your dog maintains their schedule and gets plenty of extra love.

My dog relaxed at Jacklyn's house and got along well with Stubby. Highly recommend and will be rebooking!

Really enjoyed leaving Marti with Jacklyn. She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent a lot of pictures! Also loved that she set up a meet and greet beforehand to make sure Marti was comfortable around her dog. Thanks Jacklyn!

Jacklyn was amazing! She kept us up to date with our doggos and took great care of them! She was even able to pick them up and drop them off! She made everything much easier and her level of commucation and efforts to provide frequent picture and video updates gave us great comfort while missing our doggos.
