“I have known Jackie for fifteen years. We grew up together as close childhood companions. Today, she continues to be a kind, generous and thoughtful friend. During those years, Jackie always had a love and an interest in animals. She happily cared for her family pets, as well as the various animals in our neighborhood, running a thriving pet sitting business. Even at that young age, she had an insightful awareness of how to properly care for an animal. I worked with Jackie for several years when she was the manager of a dog day care business. As manager, Jackie oversaw the care of the animals, ensuring that they had appropriate play and exercise, felt connected and loved, and in general had all their needs met. She is both detail oriented and observant, enabling a safe environment for the animals under her watch. She is well informed on canine wellness and has achieved a formal education in canine behavior training. As the manager, Jackie consistently developed positive relationships with the clients, as well as their pets. I always saw her as a responsible, dependable and happy caretaker. I would not hesitate to leave my pets in her care.”
