Highlights
Pet care experience
Enthusiastic Joy Walkies, Westwood
I grew up taking care of pets! My childhood dog Olivier was an unusual mix; he was an eye-catching, mutant-sized Dachshund who got a lot of attention walking down the street, and we had a couple of independent-minded kitties. My family still has multiple dogs and cats. I absolutely adore dogs and feel strongly about tuning in to who they are - if they want to play, it's on! If it's a shy guy or gal, I respect their space if and until they feel more comfortable. I facilitate healing workshops and I'm an artist with a variable schedule that I keep up-to-date on my Rover calendar.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I've had pets or boarded them previously with Rover, I always make sure to find out the basics of their personality from you, their favorite human. They deserve the same consideration we give people! Currently only offering walks, not boarding.
Ratings and reviews
Jacqueline came and she walked my dogs. However, I felt as if she was quite rude and abrasive. First was when she was bringing the dogs back from the walk and she texted in all capitals letters to “OPEN THE DOOR!” She could have calmly and nicely texted. Whatever, I didn’t really care about that. But what irritated me the most was the message that she sent after she finished the walk. One of the dogs, Maverick, is a rescued dog that has had a lot of trauma in the past. It is written in his profile. Maverick can be untrusting of new people and new situations. Supposedly, Maverick was very hesitant to go walk with Jacqueline and kept trying to turn back around to go home. I appreciate that Jacqueline continued the walk, but if she felt that Maverick was uncomfortable or that she couldn’t handle him or walk him properly, then she should’ve just brought him home. Instead, Jacqueline was very rude and abrasive in her message telling us to never reach out to her again because she wasn’t able to manage Maverick wanting to turn around to come back home. It is completely fine to nicely say that someone does not feel comfortable walking a dog again in the future, but the way you say it matters. No need to be rude about it. Kindness, compassion and understanding goes a long way.
Super sweet and professional

Schedule
I'm currently living in a building that doesn't allow dogs and I love cats but am super allergic. So daily pet care for me is making friends with and greeting my doggy neighbors.
