Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I strive to maintain a calm, secure environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space and follow your established routines to help your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I pay close attention to details such as feeding schedules, medication needs, and preferred walking routes to ensure consistency and care. As the day winds down, I ensure your pet feels calm and content. Evening walks, feeding, and cozy downtime help them settle comfortably for the night. You’ll also receive plenty of updates and photos, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

I can't say enough great things about Jacqui as a pet sitter! She is incredibly caring, dependable and truly loves animals. Every time I've left my babies in her care, I've come home to happy, relaxed fur babies. Jacqui goes above and beyond, sending updates, pictures and making sure my pets get plenty of love and attention. I have complete peace of mind knowing they're in such good hands and that is saying a lot from me, as I am very type A about my pets and how I want things done! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!

To begin, you couldn't find a more capable, conscientious, caring and fun person to take care of your pets. She is experienced from owning big (horses and donkeys) to wee little pets (guinea pigs) and every size inbetween (big and little dogs and cats). My pups love her and her pups. I would feel absolutely at ease for her to watch my critters at any time.

Jacqui Lawton is an incredibly conscientious and knowledgeable pet care giver. Her intuitive nature, along with her life-long experience with her own animals, made me feel completely at ease having her pet sit my dogs and cat. She sent short videos and some gorgeous photos of them which made me very happy during my week vacation. She communicated promptly when inquired (via text) about how they were doing and that really was comforting! I’d highly recommend Jacqui without reservation! L. Benn

Jacqui has been regularly pet sitting my dog Hudson for over 3 years now. Her kind personality and true love of animals makes her quite an awesome pet sitter. Hudson gets excited and whines when he realizes I am dropping him off. Pricing is fair and the property is perfect for pets. Highly recommend. -Russell

Jacqui is the definition of an animal person. She is very caring and always thinks about what is best for the animals. She has over 30 years of experience as an animal owner including anything from chickens to horses to dogs to cats. I completely trust her with my pets and strongly recommend her.

Schedule

Being retired allows me the flexibility needed to dedicate plenty of unhurried quality time and focused attention to your pets. Caring for pets is a huge part of my everyday life and something I truly love doing! I plan my days around the pets I’m caring for, making sure they get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and companionship. Whether it’s morning walks, feeding, snuggle breaks, or evening check-ins, I enjoy every moment spent keeping them happy and comfortable. Caring for animals isn’t just part of my routine; it’s one of the best parts of my day!

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine, personality, and preferences. Every pet is unique, and the more I know, the better I can make them feel safe, happy, and at home. -Some helpful things to share include: -Daily routine: feeding times, walk schedule, bedtime, and any special rituals they love -Diet & treats: food type, portion sizes, allergies, or foods to avoid -Health & medications: any medical conditions, medications, or mobility issues -Personality & behavior: how they react to strangers, other animals, or new environments -Likes & dislikes: favorite toys, comfort items, or things that make them nervous -Training & commands: words or cues they know (like “sit,” “stay,” or “leave it”) -Emergency info: your vet’s contact information and any backup emergency contacts
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.
