About: I’ve cared for dogs for several years and truly love being around them! Before moving to Chattanooga, I cared for the same family’s dog for over two years, building a strong bond with both the pup and the family. I’ve also worked as a nanny, where I was responsible not only for the children but also for their family dog—making sure they were walked, fed, and loved. I now have a puppy of my own, so I understand the daily needs, attention, and patience dogs require at every stage. I treat every pet like they’re part of the family! I work during the weekdays, but I’m fully available in the evenings and at night for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. I’m also completely free on weekends. In my home, pets get a safe, clean, and cozy space with lots of love and attention. I stick to their usual routine as much as possible. If I’m in your home, I make sure your pet is comfortable and cared for while respecting your space. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages!

About: I have taken care of pets of all kinds, anywhere from fish, chickens, ducks, horses, cattle, dogs and cats.

I am very attentive to detail.

About: I am a former Animal Officer who has been trained to watch out for the best interest of the fur babies of Chattanooga and North Georgia. I am an avid runner who could always use a running buddy, but I also love just taking a stroll - whatever exercise or stimulation (when applicable) your dog may need will be provided. Your pet will have a new best friend and tell you all about how we spent time together! Jenn's Friends is about giving you peace of mind for both you and your pet while you are away. Pet sitting is my passion and full time “job”. Going a day without petting, snuggling, or just coming into contact with an animal is not possible! When I care for pets in YOUR home, I always make sure your house is better than when you left it. Mail/packages will be collected, plants will be watered, and your fur kid will play inside or outside (depending on each pet needs and parent requests).

About: Professional, Empathic Petcare 🥰🐾 From an Expert who worked with veterinarians for 3 years and has been grooming dogs for 11 years (that's me ❤️) and special interest in holistic medicine and nutrition. My petsitting and grooming focuses on the health and emotional well-being of your baby. They'll be having a fun vacation in my home or have their fun pet nanny come to them🥰 🐾 Pet care fits into my daily schedule very well, as I make my own hours, leaving me more time to prioritize your fur baby 🥰 They'll be staying in my comfortable, 2 bed 1 bath home on 1/2 acre with fenced in backyard. Not to be left unattended in the yard since it is made from garden fencing, and small dogs unable to climb fencing is preferred. Fence climbing dogs should not come here because there is a fast road adjacent to the slower road that I live on. When I leave to run errands I will sequester my cats in another room from the dogs. I go with the flow, and understand every animal will behave differently so please let me know if your baby has any special needs or habits!
