About me

personSolo

62, Educator

I love pets and pets love me! I'm not overly fond of huge dogs (Great Danes), but if they're friendly enough and not territorial, then we should get along just fine.

favoriteWhy I love house sitting

I have a compromised immune system so I need to work from home. It gets lonely and boring at home, so I enjoy the change of scenery.

I worked from home as an Educator. I can work from your home at anytime, as long as there's a stable Wifi connection.

I usually select locations where I have friends and family so I can visit with them. Having said that, I hope the home owner doesn't mind if I have visitors in their home while I'm sitting.

No charge for sitting; gratuities are appreciated and will be put towards travel expenses.

Wow, Jackie exceeded all our expectations in both pet and home care. She is a modern day Mary Poppins and we are so grateful we found her! Our house was cleaner than we left it, with some surprise additional chores done - she had been listening during our initial meeting about our long to-do list after moving in and she cleaned our windows and their screens as well as dug up the dying flower beds. The cat was so well cared for that he was ambivalent about our return. Jackie is an 11/10 and ... MoreWow, Jackie exceeded all our expectations in both pet and home care.

Looking forward to more visits in the future!
Jackie was great. She obviously loved our dogs and took very good care of them. She kept us in the loop and sent some pics. The house was super clean and everything was in very good order upon our return. Her pre visit went so well it was like a reunion with an old friend. We highly recommend her and would love her to sit our puppies again!

This was our third time trusting our home and cat to Jackie. She does not disappoint. In fact she left the house so neat and tidy we almost wondered if she had even been there. Thankyou again Jackie.

This was our second time using Jackie and she did an excellent job again looking after our house, plants and cat! We appreciate her timely and friendly communication style as well. Would highly recommend Jackie to everyone! Thank you!!
Your family makes it too easy to take care of your house and pet!
Jackie was a delight to have in our home, and caring for our beloved pets. The house was super clean when we arrived home with sheets and bedding done and neatly folded. Our one boy gave her a run for her money, and Jackie rose to the challenge and provided excellent care for them all while we were away. We would be thrilled if she came again in the future. I would recommend her.
Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure looking after "Lovely Leenah", "Charles", and "Roaming Ramone" — they kept me entertained and made me feel right at home. I’m so glad you were happy with everything, and I’d love the opportunity to house-sit for you again in the ... MoreThank you so much for your kind words!
