About: Hello, I’m Jewelia! I’m a perfect fit for you because I have years of experience caring for animals, especially dogs. I have a Jack Russel who loves to play, go on walks, and loves to socialize! No matter what age or size, I’ve cared for them all! I’ve walked many dogs professionally, dealt with tons of different breeds, and would like to continue and pursue my work through Rover! If you’re in need of a reliable and loving caregiver for your furry friend, I’m the perfect fit! Make sure to contact me if you’d like to know more and have any questions! Looking forward to it! I work from home, so luckily freedom to travel and time management are my friends. I can care for your fur baby throughout my regular day - we can keep each other company! Rest assured, your fur baby is my number one priority when they’re under my care. I protect them as if they are my own and they will get the most love.

“I have 4 dogs (1 golden doodle, 2 Bichon and Chihuahua mix and 1 chihuahua) it's super hard to find people that can deal with my dogs (the are barkers and the golden doodle is only 6 months old). But Jen was amazing, from the moment she walked in, she asked questions, listened and took care of my dogs accordingly. When I came home my dogs were treating her like she was apart of the family (which is rare!) Me and my husband will definitely be booking her again!!”
