Jaclyn: 10+ years experience

Hi, I'm Jaclyn! I'm 26 years old and recently relocated from Maryland to the area. I'm excited to meet new clients and their pets while building my local Rover community. I'm currently in the process of adding reviews from my previous clients, so while my profile is still growing, I'd be happy to provide more information about my experience during our meet-and-greet. As a detail-oriented and dependable pet sitter, I believe in providing exceptional care not only for your pets but also for your home. While house sitting, I'm happy to keep your home tidy and make sure everything is just as you left it. I offer a complimentary meet-and-greet before booking so we can get to know each other, answer any questions, and review your pet's routine. My goal is to ensure both you and your pets feel comfortable and confident before committing to any services. I have experience administering medications, following detailed care instructions, and working with pets that have busy routines or special needs. My services include, in your home: -Overnight house sitting -Drop-in visits -Daily dog walks -Extended "happy visits" at a discounted rate for pets who benefit from extra companionship or a gradual introduction before longer stays -In-home baths and nail trims upon request Experience & Qualifications: -Bachelor's degree in Animal Science from Penn State University -Professional pet sitter with over 10 years of experience -Force-free dog trainer specializing in positive reinforcement and clicker training -Service dog training experience -Animal shelter and kennel experience -Former foster volunteer with 11+ years of animal rescue and shelter experience -Chair Leader of a Small & Exotic Animal Club -Experience caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, and other pets! -Completed animal behavior and canine body language certification courses One area that truly sets me apart is my understanding of animal behavior and body language. I have experience working with nervous, fearful, and reactive dogs/cats, and I always prioritize building trust at their pace. I use low-stress, force-free handling techniques to create positive experiences and help pets feel safe and comfortable while you're away. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide personalized care that matches their individual personality and routine. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered, scaled, etc!) family members and providing them with the same love and attention they receive from you.

Jaclyn cared for our two cats over a long weekend and not only provided great care but also companionship. She provided them with attention, playtime, and comfort while we were away. She regularly sent photos and thoughtful updates about both cats.

I met Jaclyn at a Paws for pints festival at a brewery last year. She had a booth at the event and we struck up a conversation about a dog I brought from a shelter looking for a home. She was on Rover plus had done dog training. She ended up volunteering at the shelter I was at and fostered a dog named, Bear whom she later adopted. He had been returned once but Jaclyn knew what he needed which was time, patience, stability, routine, exercise, training and love. You won’t be sorry if you hire her to take care of your pet! I highly recommend her!

I highly recommend Jaclyn to care for your pets or home. I’ve worked with her for years. She’s dependable , very flexible with our spontaneous trips and pet needs. She truly loves animals and it shows! I do not hesitate to recommend her for all of your pet or house sitting needs!

Jaclyn is a fabulous caregiver. She really listens to what you want for your pet and pays attention to them when they’re in her care. She’s taken care of our 3 border collies a number of times. They love her! She sends regular updates and pics, very reassuring. I come home to a clean house and very happy dogs.

Jaclyn is incredibly reliable and flexible when it comes to being a pet caregiver. She has a genuine passion for working with animals and caring for them. She is trustworthy and I have never shed a sweat when leaving my fur babies in her hands. She is experienced and extremely knowledgeable with so many animals. If you're thinking of reaching out to or hiring Jaclyn, please don't hesitate. She is the BEST!

Jaclyn is so much more than a pet sitter ....a job that she does lovingly, caringly, precisely and joyfully. Jaclyn treats the animals (in our case - dogs, cats, and bearded dragon) in her care as though they are her own. She follows our instructions to a tee. Dispensing meds as required and cleaning the animal feeding bowls after their meal. Jaclyn also house (and pet) sat for us while we were away. To give the reader a sense of who Jaclyn is ....... before our return and without prompting Jaclyn stripped the bed, washed the sheets and remade the bed. We had clean sheets upon our return and didn't have to make the bed ourselves. We have never had a house sitter do that before. Our preference would be only use Jaclyn for pet and house sitting. But alas she has moved westward ..... She is the BEST!!!!!
