Pet care experience

Caring for your pets like family

I grew up with Labrador Retrievers and have years of hands-on experience caring for my parents’ three Labs as well as my siblings’ rescue dogs. After college, since I didn’t have a dog of my own, I became the go-to sitter and walker for family and friends. Because I don’t currently have a dog, your pup will receive my full, undivided attention while in my care. I have experience with dogs of all ages — from energetic puppies who need structure and playtime to senior dogs who require patience and a gentler pace. I’m comfortable with different routines and energy levels, and I understand how important consistency and trust are when someone else is caring for your dog. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and well-exercised while giving you peace of mind.

Jaclyn was super prompt in her responses, kind, and super sweet for my dog! Communication was excellent, and she made sure that Billie not only was taken care of but that she met her social and physical exercise for the day with enrichment time at the farmers market! I would definitely rebook her again and recommend Jaclyn to anyone!

Booked with Jackie and received constant communication and reassurance during my first long weekend trip away from my pet. Jackie was very observant of my cat’s behaviors and was able to provide me good feedback as well!

Schedule

I am in the office on Mondays and Wednesdays but the other three days of the week I am working from home. My typical working hours are 8am -4pm but when I am in the office I can be available after 5pm. I do take a workout class multiple times a week but I also have a car so it is easy to get around the city.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep a quiet environment in my home since I do live alone and without any pets but my apartment building has a dog area and is in a very walkable neighborhood. I understand the trust and care needed when being a new person in your dogs life and routine and am always excited to play with and take pictures of your pets.

A typical day

I love finding new forms of enrichment for your dogs. Based on your preference I am always happy to put together a lick mat, take them to the park to play catch or even just sit at the park on some patches of grass. If your dog likes to spend a lot of time inside as well I have many shows I am happy to watch alongside them on the couch!
