A dog is also a girls best friend!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Jacky, I’m 24, and am a huge animal lover! Graduated from UIUC as an MCB major and currently working towards my dream of becoming a doctor. I absolutely LOVE animals. I have 4 pets at home: 1 cat and 3 dogs. My cat likes to mind her own business and will probably hide from your pets, but my dogs will have a blast having a fourth friend in the room :) We have 2 floors to ourselves and we like to keep my cat on the upstairs floor while we're dog-sitting. Our doggies are little pugs and they get along with any and all kinds of dogs! I have experience with dog and cat-sitting, not just through Rover, for a little over 6 years! I’m super friendly and active, so your pet will be in great hands! I’ve been wanting to exercise more often, so your pet is going to end up taking ME on walks lol. Or if your pets a cuddler, even better. I’d also love a study buddy! I am stay-at-home so Ill be available 24/7! We give our fur babies walks as well as time to play in the backyard. My partner, Leo, has also joined in with me so your pet will be getting double the love. I'm so sure that the pictures I'll send you of your pet cuddled up with my pugs will win you over! Thank you for reading this far! Hope to see you soon <3

My cat literally melted in front of Jacky. Big pile of puddly goo. She's was absolutely great and responsive.

Jacky was excellent!! Our dog Tulsa took to her right away and it was obvious how much much experience she has with dogs. Couldn’t recommend her enough!!

Jacky was wonderful! So quick and easy to communicate and set up a meet and greet with. We needed dog sitting for a weekend. Our dogs are reactive to people and after explaining this to Jacky, she was up for seeing if it will work. My dogs took to her very quickly!! We got updates and pictures, including how well they were acclimating to her! We can’t thank her enough and will definitely be booking her services again!

Pets at my place will have a ton of fun and never feel lonely! If your pet has specific requirements, I can easily accommodate to them to ensure their well being. Pets will always be babies to me, and I’ll treat and care for them the same! Again, my pretty kitty will stay away haha and if needed, I can take extra precaution to separate if it’s an issue.

Information Jacky & Leo V. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the pet is potty trained, and if they go a little crazy on furniture. I can always throw a cover on the sofas just in case :) if there’s anything specific about diet or something I should know or be aware of, let me know! There’s nothing I can’t handle! From deaf dogs, to almost blind dogs, to dogs with severe separation anxiety, they will always be cared for! I ask that your pet is friendly with other pets (since I have some at home!) Your pet doesn’t have to like cats - she’s upstairs so it’s likely your dog will never meet her. My dogs are pretty friendly and like to play, so they'll have no trouble being entertained at home. They also get tired easily so they’re sleeping and cuddling with each other for most of the day! I have a medium size crate if necessary that we use to potty train (if you crate train your dogs and would like me to use it, let me know).

A typical day

I’m no stranger to the dog park, I love going on walks, and playing with all their favorite toys! If your pet is a cuddler, even better because I love having my lazy days just as much. We have a lot of backyard play time too. My dogs just like to be chased around so it's definitely refreshing being able to watch dogs that actually like to play fetch!
