Highlights
Pet care experience
Borrowing your best friend🐾
As someone who is always trying to live vicariously through dog owners, I have been a reliable and eager puppy and cat sitter since I was young - for friends, coworkers, neighbors, and extended family. I have experience and am comfortable feeding and exercising large and small dogs, puppies and seniors. I have always had cats, and have plenty of experience with administering oral medicines and asthma treatment. I am comfortable with cleaning messes, longterm stays, overnights, and honestly whatever else is needed during your time away. I would love to send pictures and updates of your pets as much as you would like them - your pets become main characters in my life within minutes of meeting them! I am your introverted, nurturing childless millennial that treats every animal with endless attention and love. As a speech-language pathologist, I also think that understanding animal communication and respecting boundaries are key. If your pet is showing me they need space, I will listen to them and make sure they are well fed, their needs are met and a soft presence is near. If they are showing me that they need more love and attention, I will stay and give them more love and attention! I can’t wait to meet your furry family.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets are happiest when their routines stay as consistent as possible, so I make it a priority to learn each pet’s normal schedule, preferences, personality, and needs before their owner leaves. In a client’s home, I carefully follow feeding schedules, refresh water, clean litter boxes and outdoor areas as needed, administer medications when required, and make sure pets receive the exercise, enrichment, affection, and companionship they have when you’re home. I pay close attention to body language, behavior changes, appetite, energy levels, and overall well-being. As a speech-language pathologist, communication is a big part of my professional life, and I bring that same attentiveness to the animals in my care. I believe good pet care means respecting boundaries, recognizing needs, and responding appropriately to what an animal is communicating. I also love sending photos and updates, because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and comfortable while you’re away. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, loving environment and to care for your pets the same way I would hope someone would care for my own.
Ratings and reviews
Jacqueline was literally the best sitter for our two pups! This was our first time leaving them with someone & for a long trip. Not one time did I think our boys weren’t getting all the love and attention they needed at home. She sent us pictures everyday, which we absolutely loved because we missed our doggies. Can’t say enough great things about Jacqueline! The dogs hope to see her again in the future! :)
Jacqueline takes great care of my Bella-boo. She is very attentive and communicates well. Most importantly, Bella loves her!
Jackie was great! She kept in communication with me and sent me updates and pictures. She even took them for extra walks. She was great and I felt very comfortable with her watching my babies. I would love to have her watch them again!
Jackie walks our rambunctious 3-month-old puppy twice a day, once per week. She is punctual, reliable, and quickly replies to messages. The photos she sends after each session are wonderful and I know our puppy loves seeing and playing with her. I would recommend her dog walking service!
Jacqueline was amazing! She was very responsive from the first moment we reached out to her about booking, and we even had a meet and greet so our pup could get familiar with her in advance. Our pup has a lot of energy, and she always got creative with ways to give him mental stimulation and exercise — even if it was storming and he couldn’t go outside. She even offered to stay a little longer during visits to keep him company and make sure he was okay when he started having some tummy issues. I appreciate all the updates and photos she sent after each visit, and he always looked happy in every photo. I would highly recommend Jacqueline and would definitely book her again!
Jackie is a fantastic sitter! Dexter warmed up to her quickly and she took such good care of him. She was extremely attentive to his needs and great at communicating and providing updates on how he was doing each day. I really appreciate how she went the extra mile to make sure Dexter felt comfortable, safe and happy! It was amazing to have peace of mind while being away that my dog was in great hands. Will definitely be hiring Jackie again!

Schedule
Right now, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I’m a teacher on summer break and transitioning into a teletherapy position, so I have plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the day.
