Dog and Cat Lover, Works from Home
Pet care experience
I've had a love for cats and dogs since I was young and grew up around both of them. As a child, I helped take care of our elderly lab and cairn terriers. I currently have two cats of my own. I have done house sits for several types of pets including large dogs (up to St. Bernards) , small dogs (<10 pounds), rabbits, cats, and corn snakes. I have taken care of both elderly dogs and puppies, and have experience with administering oral medications, ear drops, and suppositories. I have experience with basic grooming for both dogs and cats. I love to meet new animals and explore neighborhoods on walks. I am always willing to learn more to better accommodate an animal!
Reviews
Jennifer was so wonderful. Very sweet with my babies, great communication. I get a little stressed when I leave them, but the photos and updates she sent were so reassuring while I was away. Their water fountain broke while I was gone and she made sure they had fresh water out every day. She even researched it online to see if she could fix it. She also cleaned up after their little messes and emptied and refilled the litter box. 10/10 will be asking this life saver to watch them again on my next trip
Jennifer was great, both my cats were well fed and taken care of.
Took great care of my boy!
Jennifer helped us out with a last minute emergency that necessitated us leaving town for a night. She was communicative about our pet, took great care of her, and responsive to my questions! I could be where I needed to be and not worry about our dog. Thank you!

Information Jennifer R. would like to know about your pet
I am open to all types of dogs, but I really like to be able to understand their personality, especially prior to walks . The more information I have about a dog, the better I can accommodate them. As a note: If your dog is over 75 pounds I am unable to pick up or fully hold back a dog this size, so knowing if they have a tendency to run at other dogs or people is very important.
A typical day
I love to get to know every animal and discover their favorite toys, activities, treats, and games, as well as really understand their unique personality. I'm happy to take dogs to known favorite places or discover new areas with them if wanted.

Availability
I work remotely, so I can work anywhere with a wifi connection. I am able to do nearby walks and drop in visits during the day. I do have two cats, so if I am house sitting I will need to leave at least once a day to check on them.
