“Alexa did a wonderful job taking care of our dog in our home over a long holiday weekend. She was communicative, made sure Beau got his walks and play time, left our home clean and our dog happy. She followed our instructions on everything and asked questions when she wasn’t sure about something. We hope our dog wasn’t too crazy for her, but we would gladly welcome her back! So grateful we found Alexa.”

Do not hesitate ti book her if she’s available; you won’t regret it I promise. She is a dog whisperer!!?”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for many years providing me with a diverse range of experience with dogs of varying temperaments, including anxious and reactive dogs. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time to dedicate towards taking care of your pet(s)! I am currently available Monday - Friday for walks and am able to fit most requests in due to working a remote schedule. In my client's home, I am to replicate the pet's home environment as closely as possible. I respect the owner's rules and preferences for their pets, following any specific instructions they provide. If a client wishes, I can provide regular updates to the owner including messages, photos, and videos to keep them well-informed about their pet's well-being. Ultimately, I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of the pets I care for, ensuring peace of mind for both pets and their owners.

About: With 10 years of experience in childcare, I’ve also cared for pets as part of the families I’ve worked with, as well as through pet sitting and house sitting. From feeding, walking, and playtime to providing companionship and ensuring pets feel safe and loved, I treat every animal like part of the family. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup, a shy cat or making sure a home and its furry residents are well cared for, I bring reliability, warmth, and attention to detail to every job! Pet care fits naturally into my routine through pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits. I can provide overnight care when families travel, schedule walks and check-ins during my free time, and offer evening or weekend care when needed. Since I have a background in childcare, I’m also experienced in caring for pets alongside families, making it an easy and natural part of my work. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, or providing companionship, I love ensuring pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I ensure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise through walks or playtime. I also provide companionship, whether it’s cuddles, enrichment activities, or simply keeping them company. For pets with special needs, I follow any medication or care instructions carefully. I maintain a clean environment by tidying up after meals, accidents, or shedding. If I’m house sitting, I also take care of basic home tasks like bringing in mail and keeping the space secure. My goal is to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away.

In addition to taking great care of our puppy, she cleaned our entire apartment! Definitely recommend and will be rebooking in the future!”


“Jacky was wonderful! So quick and easy to communicate and set up a meet and greet with. We needed dog sitting for a weekend. Our dogs are reactive to people and after explaining this to Jacky, she was up for seeing if it will work. My dogs took to her very quickly!! We got updates and pictures, including how well they were acclimating to her! We can’t thank her enough and will definitely be booking her services again!”
