Pet care experience

Passionate, Playful Pet Person

One of my first pets ever was a black and white cat named Simba, who was referred to as my sibling. In recent years I have taken care of my family dog, Tank, a small dog who lives up to his name. I have also cared for friend’s pets when they are out of town for weeks at a time. Pets are part of the family and I understand how deep the love is! I have such a respect for all animals and look forward to caring for your little sweeties :)

Jacqueline was excellent! She did a wonderful job taking care of my senior cat, including administering multiple medications. She left detailed reviews, and my cat warmed up to her very quickly. She is professional while also being very warm/friendly. I will definitely hire Jacqueline again!

Jaqueline did an amazing job watching our cat, Juniper! I was nervous to leave Juniper while we were on vacation but Jaqueline made me feel so calm and confident. I got adorable pictures everyday and an update. Jaqueline was wonderful to work with and took great care of our little Juniper!

Jacqueline took great care of our cat when we were away for a week. She is super nice and was always on time and our cat really enjoyed her company while we were gone.

Schedule

I work remotely on Mondays, which gives me flexibility during the day. Evenings I am available after 5:30pm to check-in on your fur babies. I also have more times available over the weekend. I can provide care between 9am-10pm on weekends, but I am unable to indicate that given the app settings.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog friendly apartment complex with many grassy areas. I also love going on walks at nearby trails or taking dogs to parks. Cuddles are always welcome, but I also respect dogs that want their space.

A typical day

Animals, just like us, need exercise both physically and mentally. I will take your dog to local parks in my area to explore trails, do enrichment activities, praise them and give them all the pets.

No 2 pets are the same! Tell me any needs your pets may have or any interesting quirks I should be aware of. I’d love to know how I can best interact and serve your fur baby.
