Quality Custom Care for Happy Pets!

Hi, my name is Jacqueline and I grew up in a poor family on a small hobby farm in the middle of the woods at the base of the Adirondack mountains of central New York, and so I am well-versed in caring for a wide array of pets, to include an assortment of small wild animals the barn cats brought us still alive, and some basic natural remedies as we were recalcitrant to call the vet for anything other than an absolute emergency. Dogs, cats (both indoor and outdoor), rabbits, birds of all sorts, donkeys, horses, lizards, etc. I joined the Marine Corps out of high school and spent 10 consecutive months in Iraq where I learned basic emergency care and how to maintain a calm demeanor in all kinds of highly stressful situations. I love all animals and having been a dog owner who liked to travel, I know how important it is to have someone knowledgable and can handle a stressful situation with calm and ease. I am also very active and happy to take your pet for a run in addition to walks if they are the sort who would benefit from that sort of thing. I also have a way with notoriously shy cats, which I almost didn't put down because I don't want to jinx it, but it is true.

Jacqueline was awesome, saved me last minute when a previous booking fell through because something came up with the other person. She was great with communication and pictures. Would 10/10 recommend her for your Rover needs. Thank you again so much

Jacqueline took great care of our senior dog! She was proactive in making sure he had everything he needed, took great pics, and developed a nice bond with him in a short time. Usually he's ready for us to come back but he couldn't get enough Jacqueline pets when we arrived! She communicated well throughout the stay. We'll be booking again for an upcoming overnight trip!

Jacqueline is the absolute best! She’s bubbly, personable, and gentle! Her personality attracts my most timid pets. We have a wide range of pets here and she seems to love them and all their quirks just as much as we do! She communicates well with us and picks up after our monsters. My home is always cleaner after she leaves and it shows how much effort and love she puts into our home and our pets!

Jaqueline and I attended film school together and I recently hired her to cat sit for my 3 cats. My cats fell in love with her, and they don’t like many people! She took excellent care of them and sent me regular updates with cute photos and funny anecdotes. She is very knowledgeable about animals and gave me some helpful advice regarding their feeding. She went above and beyond with caring for my house also. Jacqueline is warm and friendly, has a lot of energy, and has a fun and outgoing personality. I am already planning on having her back.

Schedule

I am currently traveling, and working online part-time, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I prefer to be somewhere that is close to public transportation or includes a bike or use of a car or something similar as my current vehicle is a bit large and I'd prefer to leave it at my friend's for now.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Jacqueline can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements ahead of time so I can accommodate them properly, as well as if they are particularly reactive.
