About this sitter

My name's Jacqueline, bilingual in English/Spanish with an advanced French level. I'm a healthy and cheerful retired in-company business English teacher living in the city of Granada, Spain.

I absolutely adore dogs and cats and now that I'm free I'm looking for a house sit, walking distance to a beach, where I can have long walks with the dogs, if allowed. I really miss being near the sea.

I have always been very responsible in everything I undertake and I'm also a very tidy person. I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker and non-partier and I'm happy to settle down in the evening at home, cuddle up with your pet/s, I always chat with them ;) and either read, whatsapp with my two grown up children, prepare an online English class I have once a week or watch a series/film on Netflix.

I've been a volunteer to the Spanish Red Cross for the last seven years and I collaborate as an English/French interpreter from and into Spanish in the Programme of International Protection for Asylum Seekers.

Why they want to house sit

I wish to house sit / pet sit because I live on my own and I really miss having a beach nearby to have long walks.

I usually pet sit for Balám, my adorable "hairy grandson" who is on my profile picture!!

I'd honestly be absolutely delighted to give your dear pets all the love, cuddles, conversation and even have them sleep on my bed if you agree to this, because I always follow owners' rules to the letter while they're away.

Their experience

I've grown up with dogs and have always walked my neighbours' dogs when they were going to be away. I've had a rescue dog, Hope and I've also had a rescue cat, Loki, both of which I miss a lot and will never forget.

I'm really looking forward to helping you out.

What can they bring to the assignment

What I can offer you is the peace of mind and reassurance that your pet/s will be taken care of with all the love I can give them, following all your instructions as to routine/food habits, any medicines they might have to take, etc.

I will also take very good care of your house and make sure to water any plants you may have or switch on the automatic water device. I've never actually done any gardening so if any of this is required I'm willing to arrive a couple of days before you leave so you can show me how and what you want me to do. Always happy to learn!!

Testimonials

Reliable, efficient, and loving cat sitter :-)

We were lucky to have Jacqueline home/catsit for us in July-Sept 2023. She took great care of our cat Naomi and was prompt and spontaneous in updating us about her. As proof of just how fantastic she was with Naomi, our cat (usually shy and aloof even with people she's familiar with) came up to greet her and snuggled against her feet! Clearly, our cat has adopted her as family... :-) Jacqueline also kept our house clean and went far and beyond what we expected - it was extremely agreeable to return to a spotless and well-cared home after a long trip and we are grateful for that. She also kindly helped us to reception some parcels we needed on our return, and was scrupulous in many ways. Miraculously, she even managed to resurrect my dying orchid, which is currently in full bloom! We highly recommend Jacqueline and hope that she will come back again to Paris soon. Thanks once again, Jacqueline!

Carding, compassionate, trustworthy, committed.

I can’t begin to tell you how lucky I was to find someone as special as Jacqueline. I feel that in general pet sitters are amazing people but Jacqueline surpassed all hopes and expectations. I was very worried about leaving my furry family. They all have varying degrees of health issues and I worried that finding someone who could meet their individual needs would be challenging to say the least. Jacqueline stepped in and far from being fazed by my feline family of 4 she demonstrated an empathy and level of care and attention to detail I could have only dreamed of. I felt reassured from day one of my departure by frequent updates as to how everyone was doing. Not only on the basics of how well they were eating ( a concern with the 2 older cats) but anecdotal stuff and photos. Quirky things Jacqueline had noticed about each cat, how she had picked up on their preferences and habits. She is amazing. The cats adored her! After she left they would sit outside her bedroom door and meow…I think they felt I had her captive in there! If only I could. Not only a supreme cat carer but also a great house guest. Everything was left clean and tidy, no extra work to return to, she even kept all the plants watered and well. An added bonus was that we got to spend a day or so together after my return and she proved to be great company. So all in all a great experience. I would welcome her back anytime. Thank you Jacqueline x
