Dog/Cat Sitter with Vet experience!
Pet care experience
I spent my entire childhood around animals: dogs, cats, horses. We constantly took in strays and found homes for them. When I went to college, I got two cats but also started working at a veterinarian's office. I worked the front desk and assisted the Vet Techs and Drs as needed. I worked at Banfield Pet Hospital for 4 years. Currently I volunteer at the neonatal kitten nursery at Best Friends Animal Society and foster with Cats at the Studios. I also have fostered many cats and kittens over the years and have a lot of knowledge of cats. I can take care of sick pets including medicating, giving fluids, etc as I do this with my fosters. I am comfortable around all types of dogs and cats - large or small and even those who are nervous and need special attention (I socialize semi-feral kittens). Cat Knowledge - Because of having my own cats for over 16 years and fostering kittens (from birth on), I have a lot of knowledge and experience with handling cats of all ages. I am constantly self-teaching myself about cat issues as my cats age and their needs change. I am unable to work at homes of smokers. I am unfortunately allergic.
Reviews
Jaclyn was incredible! She is very knowledgeable and caring as if our dogs were her own! She kept us updated with text and photos throughout our vacation and we felt comfortable with her there watching our babies. Would highly recommend and will use her in the future for any other vacation! :)
Jaclyn was amazing!!! She was happy to come and meet the pups before the actual sitting. Then during our vacation she followed all directions and was very active with updates (pic/vids). Absolutely recommend!
Jackie has looked in on my dog and cat a couple times now when my family is away, and I have full confidence in her. She's reliable, considerate and a pleasure to communicate with. Highly recommend!
Jaclyn is great with my kitties and is super professional and sweet!

I will care for your pets in the same way you would in your home and on walks. I want to keep everything as normal as possible for your pets.
Information Jaclyn R. would like to know about your pet
I need to know your pet's breed and age. It's also important that I know how each of your pets behave, especially around other animals and people, and any medical conditions or special needs they may have, even if I'm not caring for them on a medical basis. These things are critical to know to keep your pet safe.
A typical day
I will take your dog(s) for a walk around your neighborhood and spend time with them (cats included), whether that is playing fetch or with his/her favorite toy, by running around with me in a park, or merely having someone to lay next to. You let me know what your pet likes and I will keep them happy and safe!
