Dogsitter with 12+yrs experience

Hello, everyone! My name is Jaclyn. You can call me Jaclyn or Jac. I am currently working full time at a health and fitness facility. Previously, I had been a head shift leader at a doggie daycare where I worked for 5 years. I also was a shift leader at another doggie daycare I worked for 3 years. I have experience with all dogs, big and small, and used to take care of some of the cats at the daycare facilities as well. I also took 2 courses in dog behavior. I have experience administering oral medications for animals that need it, am trained in dog CPR, my number 1 priority was and is each dogs safety, and I treat all of them as if they were my own. I have petsat for friends and clients for many years and also fostered dogs in the past. I currently own a 5 yr old, 55lb, neutered, pitbull mix. I may not discriminate against breed, but I'm not gonna lie.... my favorite breeds are pitbulls and black labs! I seem to LOVE my bigger dog breeds, but don't worry I still have room in my heart for the smaller pups! Animals have always been my passion since I can remember. I know I will continue to do this for a very long time. Current availability: For right now, i am only available for housesitting (overnights). I am willing to meet new clients outside in a public place. Please check my availability calendar for specific days (I do not book more than 1 month in advance). Thank you and be well!

Safety, trust & environment

For housesitting (overnights): I respect everyone's household and rules. I'll follow your feeding instructions (please have written down) and daily routine. I am experienced in giving oral medications and trained in dog CPR. I work mornings but I am usually home for the other half of the day for bathroom breaks (7-8 hours) and feeding times. **If a pet is deemed aggressive by me in any way, I will terminate the booking immediately, and you MUST find other arrangements**

So thankful for Jac taking care of our almost 15-yr old Max. She sent pictures frequently, kept in great communication, and treated our home with respect. I highly recommend for care of your pet! Thanks, Jac!

The dogs seemed happy and calm when I got back. Communication was great and got to see some photos while we were away. Thank you for watching the trip.

Jaclyn was a big hit with my fur babies and with me! She kept me posted during my entire time away and really calmed my anxiety about taking a trip. The house was in great shape when I got home and the fur babies were quite content. Awesome experience with Jaclyn!

Jaclyn was amazing and just what we were looking for in someone to watch our pups! We are new to the area and looking for a dog sitter has been tough, but Jaclyn was quick to respond, very experienced and super responsible with our dogs and house. We will definitely book again!

Schedule

I currently work at a health and fitness facility full time. I work in the mornings, but I am usually home the other half of the day so I can give bathroom breaks (7-8 hours). I have a 3 day cancelation policy: clients get a FULL refund if they cancel by noon 3 days prior to when the stay begins. After that, a 50% refund will be issued for the first 7 canceled days and 100% on any day after that. I also will NOT accept last minute bookings ( less than 7 days) or bookings more than 1 month in advance.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Jaclyn can host up to 1 pet per night
For my safety and the safety of your pet, I would like to know of ANY aggressive behaviors (towards humans or other dogs) and of PAST aggressive behaviors. I will not provide any petsitting services for pets who have been aggressive toward humans. If your pet does not like other pets, I do not mind providing housesitting (overnights). I would also want to know of any areas of your dogs body or noises/people/things they are sensitive to, if they have any allergies or conditions I need to be aware of, or any specific behaviors they have (whining when they need to to out, growling/barking at strangers, obsessive over lights, etc). Please provide written instructions for feedings and any vet information/emergency contacts (you can also add any other information if you'd like) I do not discriminate based on breed. I love ALL my doggy & kitty friends!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
