Pet care experience
I am a veterinary technician who works primarily with cats and dogs. I have several years of experience working with each, from ownership to becoming a licensed vet tech. Not only do I work with dogs and cats, I also know how to care for rabbits, reptiles, and pocket pets. Your pet will be in safe hands with an experienced veterinary technician to care for them.
Reviews
Jackie took great care of our colony of outdoor community cats while we were out of town! We have a colony of seven cats that we care for and provide daily meals for, which can make it hard to leave town since any food we leave out tends to get eaten by racoons over night. Jackie stopped by and provided fresh food and water, visited with our friendlies, took pictures of all the kitties that showed up for dinner, checked the shelters in our yard to see if any others were hanging around, and sent a detailed report of the visit. We felt very confident knowing our colony was being cared for while we were out of town and will definitely be asking Jackie to take care of our cats again in the future!
Jaclyn is my go-to person for my three cats when I go out of town. Two of my cats are on oral medications, which she handles without issue. And, with her experience as a vet tech, I feel comfortable knowing that she would be able to recognize any concerning signs of illness. She's flexible and reliable and I know my cats are in good hands with her!
Jaclyn has watched my cats for me a few times now and they absolutely adore her! Even my one very reserved kitty makes an appearance for her when she comes by (which rarely happens with new people!) She’s very timely and has treated my cats with lots of love.
Jaclyn took good care of our cats while we were on vacation. She gave them wet food and scooped the boxes at the frequency we requested. She played with them and even sent us some pictures of them. Jaclyn is a vet tech and would be sure to let us know if there was anything concerning going on with our cats. I would recommend Jaclyn to anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand what animals need to feel safe and cared for. I also find instructions easy to understand and helpful. I am trained in pet handling and will follow all training rules set by owners. I know how to medicate animals including oral route or subcutaneous route (such as insulin injections, B12 injections, or SQ fluids) and can do so safely and with little stress to your pet.

Behavior, temperament with strangers and other dogs, walking habits/training, and allergies. I would like to know whatever you feel will help keep your pet safe and happy.
A typical day
I love Huff Park, though I will walk dogs wherever they are comfortable. I like to avoid dog parks and prefer one on one walking with one dog to give my full attention to the pet I am handling. I love to play with animals and spend time with them just hanging out!
