About Jacqueline S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in large yard in a quiet neighborhood, so I walk dogs I watch/my dogs 1-2 times a day and let out any elderly dogs I am currently watching through the front door to avoid the deck steps. I feed my dogs twice a day, they drink filtered water and get denta sticks each day. I always bring dog treats on walks so reinforce good behavior. We consider our pets people here, so getting on furniture is allowed as well, unless the owner says to discourage. I do not kennel dogs unless owner provides kennel and instructs me to use it for crate training/destructive behaviors.

Information Jacqueline S. would like to know about your pet
If you have a pet that needs a little extra attention and didn’t do well in a typical boarding situation, or the opposite, that’s always good to know! Also, if your dog has ever been aggressive towards other dogs, I need to know their triggers to make sure it’s a good fit. I have plenty of experience with dogs that have separation anxiety, and I try to arrange my schedule so I don’t have to leave the house the first day or two to get them acclimated. Dogs that have food/toy aggression is good to know as well, because we can put toys up and I always feed dogs in separate rooms. If there’s something you’d like for me to work on with your pet, like commands or walking on a lead, I can also do that while they stay here. Some dogs take a while to warm up to new people, that is also not a problem and I haven’t watched a dog yet that wasn’t snuggling next to me on the couch or in our bed by the time they left!
A typical day
It goes without saying most dogs like to be walked or to play frisbee or fetch, but some of my elderly ones just prefer to cuddle next to me on the couch or in my lap. I have an 11 year old shelter volunteer who will also run with the dogs outside, but also loves to construct elaborate treat mazes for the cats and has a closet full of cat toys he has bought with his allowance. We also like walking them down to the pond from our house, our neighborhood is definitely a dog walking neighborhood.

Pet care experience
I have worked with every dog under the sun and haven’t met one I dislike! I provide attentive, professional care with a genuine love for every dog I meet. I don’t just “watch” pets—I learn their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I have 20+ years of experience caring for every type of pup under the sun, from high-energy puppies to scared of their own shadow rescues to senior dogs, I’m confident in reading behavior, maintaining structure, and responding calmly in any situation. Your dog will be treated with patience, affection, and respect—like family, not a booking! Unlike traditional boarding, I do not use kennels, unless that is communicated to me by the owner because of potty training and/or destructive behaviors. And, of course, there is no extra charge for playtime or extra treats! My family are all pet lovers here as well, so my husband and kids love having extra dogs around to spoil with treats, walks around our subdivision up to the pond, couch snuggles, and endless playtime in our large fenced in backyard. I never watch more than three pets at a time, to make sure every one of them gets plenty of attention. I am working on my masters remotely, so I am at home the vast majority of the day.

Reviews
I highly recommend Jacqueline for any of your pet care needs. She welcomes our boy like he’s part of the family, and always sends us updates of how he’s doing. We are always confident he’s in the best hands when we are out of town.
My boys had the best time with Jacque! They were well taken care of and enjoyed their 3 night stay!
Jacqueline watched our big, very energetic golden Pyrenees 24/7 for 9 days and everything went great! She texted videos and pictures with updates every day and he seemed to have a great time. Will reach out next time we go on vacation!
Jacqueline took very good care of my fur baby. I will definitely be rebooking with her.
