Pet care experience

Dog mom, and enjoyer!

I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with many years of experience in the veterinary field and a Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, giving me a strong background in animal care and behavior. I have raised and cared for dogs for over 20 years and love playing, walking, pottying, and spending quality time with them. I am also trained to help animals in emergency situations. My dog, Pico de Gallo, is the love of my life, and I would treat your dog/cat/animal with the same care, patience, and love as if they were my own.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I would take care of pets in my clients' homes. I would do potty breaks and ensure the house was not used. I would take the dogs for walks and play with them to burn off some energy before bringing them back home, if the owner allowed it. I would also feed and make sure they drank water before I left, updating the owner on how they are doing. Otherwise, I would utilize the spaces given to me ( a fenced yard, etc.). For cats, I would check in on them and make sure they are fed and watered. i would play with them with their toys and then update their owner on how they are doing.

I highly recommend Jalyn for pet sitting and animal care. She has extensive experience working with animals and brings a level of knowledge and confidence that provides real peace of mind. She has experience with animals of all sizes from hamsters to horses, from goats to rabbits, both cats and dogs and more.   Her background as a veterinary technician gives her a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety, allowing her to recognize concerns quickly and provide exceptional care. She has cared for several of my animals both large & small for many years. Beyond her professional experience, she is genuinely compassionate, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s needs. Whether caring for healthy pets, senior animals, or those requiring special attention, she has a heart for animals and a strong work ethic. I trust her completely with my pets , both four legged family and farm animals, and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and caring pet sitter.

Jalyn is an incredible pet lover and caretaker. She has done an outstanding job looking after my cat Bean. When she was watching Bean, she played with him, cared for him, and made sure he was fed/watered. My cat was very thankful and needed the love and care she provided while I was on my buisness trips. She watched him for multiple days and weeks at a time and was super reliable, and always messaged me with updates on how he was doing.

Schedule

I work for myself, so any animal that needs care would be worked into my schedule. I can do stop-ins, walks, play time, anything that is needed for your pets to be taken care of. As my calendar fills up, I ensure the times requested for pets come first before overloading my schedule.

Please leave any special instructions or important information about your 4-legged family member so I can provide the best care possible. Let me know about any special needs, medications, medical conditions, feeding routines, favorite activities, allergies, triggers, or behaviors I should be aware of. If there are specific commands, schedules, or comfort items that help your pet feel safe and happy, I’d love to know those too. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away.
