Highlights
Pet care experience
An acre to run and play!
I have worked in animal care for over 12 years, caring for everything from cats and dogs to barnyard animals (horses, sheep, goats, chickens), small mammals (rabbits, chinchillas, hedgehogs) and even exotics (armadillos, parrots, hawks, iguanas, and more)! I have worked in a dog training kennel, a cat rescue shelter, an AZA-accredited zoo and have owned high-energy, active dogs my whole adult life. I have fostered for a local rescue and am comfortable administering medication (including subcutaneous shots and oral medicines), assisting with training and behavior modification, and working with your requests! Since we are very active, we can help wear out your pup's excess energy with a long hike or just snuggle all day long! My dog is dog-friendly and would love to keep yours company with me if you like, but can also stay home. We are active and love having a bigger pack when friends come to play!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jackie was amazing! She stayed with our pup while we were overseas on vacation and it was easy to enjoy our trip knowing he was in good hands. She was very kind, caring, and communicative and we could tell that he was enjoying spending time with her. Would highly recommend!
Jackie is an amazing kind spirit and always treats our pup with love and care
Such excellent care for our dog while we were away on vacation! Our dog has the best time with Jackie and her crew!!
Our dog gets so excited and happy when we pull up to Jackie’s and literally can’t wait to get out for her play day!!
Jacqueline is fantastic and always takes great care of our pups. They have a great yard for the pups to run around and they always come home tire and happy.
Jackie is so wonderful and it was clear that our dog had a great time under her care!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I travel and house sit with my 5-year-old border collie/heeler mix, Lark. We love to meet new friends wherever we go and currently have out home base in Sacramento, CA. For us, house sitting together means we can bring even more fun and play to our clients, which leaves everyone happy, tired and less stressed!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Lark and I travel full time in our van and can maintain separated spaces if need be. More often than not though, we like to create a new little pack dynamic with our clients and that means careful introductions for dogs before assimilating into your home to make everyone most comfortable.
Pets
A typical day
We love to get outside daily, even if that means getting a bit wet. If your dogs like a good walk to start the day, we'd be happy for them to join us! I can work from the office or remotely, so I can often be flexible and work with my client's preferred schedules.

- Dogs that will have the most fun with us are those that generally get along with others or may be a bit shy. Lark often helps timid dogs relax, play (puppies welcome!), and feel at ease while their parents are gone but isn't at all pushy with dogs that like company but need some space. Please let me know if your dog might resource guard toys or beds and I will be happy to make sure that their concerns are noted and managed for. I will take care of responsibly introducing all our dogs to guarantee a safe, enjoyable time for everyone.
