About Jacqui

Animals have always been a central part of my life. Growing up surrounded by pets, this passion led me to study zoology and volunteer at wildlife and primate rescue sanctuaries. These experiences deepened my understanding of animal behaviour, body language, and welfare in ways I bring to every animal I care for today. I have since spent years pet sitting for family, friends, and clients, and I find genuine satisfaction in learning each animal's quirks, earning their trust, and making sure they feel safe and settled while their owner is away.

I currently share my home with Loki, a chatty Bengal with a very particular schedule and an anxious streak — so I have first-hand experience managing the needs of a high-maintenance, routine-dependent cat with plenty of personality. I also have experience with dogs of varying sizes, ages, and temperaments, and am confident and comfortable walking dogs on leash and in designated off leash areas if well trained.

Services:

Dog walking - Available to pick up your dog from your home for a 30-minute walk with plenty of time to sniff, explore, and burn off energy. Walks are tailored to your dog's pace, age, and temperament. 

Home visits - Available for visits once or twice daily for a minimum of 30 minutes each visit. Tasks include feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, playtime. The main focus is quality time with your pet — making sure they feel attended to and not alone for too long. 

Overnight stays - Available to stay from late afternoon until morning, with flexible hours to be confirmed at our meet and greet. I aim to maintain your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, keeping them calm and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own.

I look forward to our meet and greet and hearing about your pet's individual needs and routine.
