28 Years of Pet Care Experience
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Jackie, I am 37 years old, I recently moved back to the Alexandria area and I am currently studying to become a nurse. I am quite passionate about animal rights and animal welfare! I have spent time in the past volunteering at the Alexandria Animal Welfare League, and I have loved being around animals all my life. My very first job was dog walking at just 9 years old. Since then I have owned quite a few of my own pets including many dogs. I have experience taking care of puppies and older dogs. I love spending time going on walks outside every day as a part of my meditation practice, and I’d love to include some more fuzzy friends along with me while I walk. I also really enjoy having the dogs with me inside for cool down/chill sessions afterward while I study and listen to healing tones as I work! I have 2 very small chihuahua dogs living with me at the moment, one is 6lbs and one is 7lbs.
Reviews
Jackie is an absolute gem! She took amazing care of our furry family member, Colonel, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and happy during his stay. She kept us updated with pictures and messages multiple times a day, putting our minds at ease. We highly recommend Jackie to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. She deserves all the stars in the sky and more! 5-star service, hands down.
Jackie did a great job caring for Webster. He arrived with an upset stomach and she gave him the bland diet and OTC meds as a asked. When he felt better she switched to his regular diet. Jackie kept us posted as to his condition and sent frequent photos. I would recommend her to anyone with an aging dog. And her little dog was a sweet companion to Webster.
Jackie is a great host. I would certainly recommend her. She took excellent care of my two dogs.
My two dogs enjoyed their recent stay with Jackie. I appreciated that Jackie was easy to communicate with, responded quickly to texts or emails, and was flexible when our schedule shifted at the last minute. I would definitely book with her again.

If a dog has trust issues or aggression I would need to know how to help them stay calm and develop trust with them. If there is any particular forms of aggression to know about please be detailed.
A typical day
Fenced in dog parks are close by in the area, I tend to keep animals away from any busy main streets. Walking in the park or along the sidewalks in my safe neighborhood is an ideal way to get some energy out with them.
