Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive to the routines and needs your pet might have. I have ample experience with pets who have medical and dietary needs as one of our pugs has health concerns that require special care.

Information Jacqueline J. would like to know about your pet

In order to provide the best care for your fur baby, please let me know of any health needs or behaviors I should be aware of. If there are meds, special diets, or a preferred way to approach or play with your pet while I'm visiting, any and all details are helpful and welcome!

A typical day

I am happy to accommodate any activities that fits the lifestyle and needs of your pup. We can go on walks, play outside, play inside, and practice new tricks/commands. Or if your pup is more laid back and snuggling up and enjoy a nice belly rub is more their style, I'm on board for that, too! My goal is to maintain the structure and routines your pup is used to to ensure they are comfortable and happy while in my care.

Pet care experience

My name is Jackie. I have three sweet pugs, Juno, Miri and Tobias. They are spoiled rotten and we wouldn’t have it any other way! I have experience with strict routines, eating schedules, chronic health concerns and will always be attentive to any concern your animal may need while in my care. Whether it is going for a walk, playing outside, or getting in some much needed cuddles and pets, I am happy to help care and love your fur baby whenever you may need. I am available in the Waukee, Clive, Urbandale, Johnston, West Des Moines and neighboring areas. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if I may be able to help take care of your furry family members!

Jacqueline was amazing! I’m a nervous pup parent and they were definitely in good hands…not to mention my flowers! Loved the updates and pics. Thank you sooooo much for taking care of my two babies!

Jacqueline was wonderful while watching our cat over the Fourth of July weekend! She was incredibly friendly, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She took excellent care of our cat and truly went above and beyond. She even brought in our packages and cleaned up without us asking, which we really appreciated. We would absolutely book with Jacqueline again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful pet sitter!

Jackie was absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Waffles and kept me updated with photos and messages. It was clear that she genuinely cares about animals and treated my pet like one of her own

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.
