Pet care experience

With over a decade of hands-on experience as a dedicated pet owner and caregiver, I bring a wealth of knowledge in pet care, particularly in the nurturing of dogs of all breeds and sizes, as well as cats. Currently, I share my home with a lively Chihuahua and two feline companions, while also extending my care to several clients' beloved canines. Additionally, I have undergone training in positive-reinforcement techniques and clicker training methods. Before commencing services, I typically offer a complimentary "Meet and Greet" session. This serves as an invaluable opportunity for us to meet face-to-face, allowing me to familiarize myself with your pets and home environment. Moreover, it's an ideal time to exchange pertinent information such as door codes, keys, and entry instructions. Please note, for services requiring travel to your location, such as dog walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, that rates may vary depending on the distance from my residence in Marlborough.

Jacqueline is amazing. I feel so comfortable knowing she is at our house with our pets when we are away. She is thorough, very loving to our pets (older dog with lots of meds, fish, and two rabbits who have to be kept apart at all times). Allows me to truly enjoy time away without worry!

Jacqueline was amazing with our special needs pack. She was able to get their complicated medication and feeding routines down quickly, our spicy, ancient chihuahua settled in with her (and she likes NO ONE) and everyone seemed to be very happy. We have never left all 4 dogs in one place before and having Jacqueline there was a huge relief. She is a consummate professional and went above and beyond with the dogs and our home. We will be booking again with her for sure!

Information Jacqueline W. would like to know about your pet

Feeding and dietary requirements: Any specific dietary needs, feeding schedules, allergies, or food preferences. Medical history: Any ongoing health issues, medications, or special care instructions. Behavioral quirks: Any fears, triggers, or behavioral issues to be aware of, as well as preferred methods for discipline or redirection. Exercise needs: Their typical activity level, preferred types of exercise, and any limitations or requirements for physical activity.

A typical day

A typical day kicks off with ensuring all pets are fed, hydrated, and taken out for a morning walk or play session. Throughout the day, I tailor engaging activities to suit their preferences, from lively games of fetch and tug-of-war to stimulating puzzle toys for mental exercise. Scheduled walks offer not only physical activity but also a chance for fresh air. Indoor playtime might involve interactive games like hide-and-seek or skill-building training sessions. Cuddle sessions and relaxation moments are crucial for fostering bonds and ensuring their contentment. Each pet's unique personality and energy levels dictate our activities, ensuring a rewarding experience for all involved.
