About: I grew up surrounded by animals. My family bred Siamese cats, and we always had dogs of all sizes in our home. In June 2025, I began house and pet sitting and quickly fell in love with it. Being able to spend time with animals again has been incredibly rewarding. Since then, I've cared for dogs both large and small, watched multiple pets at once, and administered medications when needed. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I strive to provide attentive, loving care so both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease. I live a fairly routine lifestyle and enjoy spending lots of quality time with the pets in my care. I typically start my day early, which allows plenty of time for morning potty breaks, feeding, and attention before I head out to train clients for a few hours. I'm usually back home around midday and enjoy spending time with the animals I'm caring for. Depending on their energy level and owner's preferences, this may include walks, playtime, a run, or even a hike. I also work virtually at times, which allows me to be home throughout much of the day. In the evening, I'll follow your pet's normal feeding schedule and spend the rest of the night relaxing at home. Whether your pet enjoys cuddling on the couch, playing, or simply having someone nearby, they'll have plenty of companionship and attention. I'm typically home in the evenings and maintain a consistent routine, helping pets feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I take that responsibility seriously and strive to provide a safe, reliable, and respectful experience for every family I work with. I carefully follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions provided by their owner. I prioritize safety on walks and outings and always make sure pets are secure and comfortable. When staying in a client's home, I treat it with the same care and respect I would my own. I keep the home clean and tidy, lock doors and windows when leaving, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. My goal is for both pets and owners to feel relaxed, comfortable, and well cared for throughout the entire stay.

About: My grandpa had many dogs and grandma takes care of cats. So, I grew up loving pets. I love nature and the outdoors as well. I studied environmental sustainability. I’m a Christian. I was once a lifeguard, and people can trust me with their lives and pets:) I love plants and have a green thumb. My work is very flexible. Only occasionally do I need to go into office. And I wouldn’t know ahead of the time when I have appointments. Most of them are fairly brief: 2 to 3 hours. However, I do need to make arrangements ahead of time in terms of scheduling. So please reach out as early as possible. Occasionally, I have travel plans as well. I can come to your home and take care of your pets or walk the dogs in the neighborhood. If you prefer, I can sometimes take them to dog parks.

About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was a baby, and they've always been a huge part of my life! Over the years, I've cared for 3 cats, 2 dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, so I'm comfortable with pets of all kinds. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I love getting to know each one individually. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, giving medication, or simply providing lots of love and attention, I'm dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you're away. Animals bring so much joy to our lives, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. Your pet's safety is my top priority. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply companionship, I'll make sure they receive lots of attention and care throughout the day.

Whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or extra cuddles, I'm committed to providing reliable and loving care. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, bunnies, turtles, and parrots, I'm comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities.

About: What started as helping out friends with their furry family members quickly turned into a true passion and four years later, I can't imagine doing anything else. Animals just get me, and I get them. I've been called a dog whisperer more than once, but honestly my highest compliment is when a cat decides to trust me. If you know, you know. I work with dogs of all sizes, from tiny lap dogs to the big ones who think they're lap dogs, and I love cats too. Every pet has their own energy and I always meet them where they are rather than forcing something that doesn't feel natural. I offer house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits at your home. I really believe pets are happiest in their own space surrounded by familiar smells and their normal routines, so I do my best to keep things consistent while you're away. The goal is that neither of you stresses too much about being apart. Whether your dog needs a calm steady presence or someone to match their wild energy on a walk, I've got them. Can't wait to meet your furry family! As a musician off tour, I have a flexible schedule and absolutely love spending downtime caring for pets—it’s grounding, joyful, and keeps me active daily. I grew up with dogs and had my own. I walk, feed, play, and cuddle—treating every pet like family with love, patience and daily care.

“I had never used a sitting service before. A friend told me about rover.com. I thought I’d take a chance and boy did I get lucky. Jenna showed up at my door to meet my cat and myself. She was bright, professional and pleasant and….. from the Midwest! she did an amazing job. Remembered every little detail I had told her. She sent happy photos of my happy cat twice a day. I looked forward to those photos and her little review. It was this that enabled me to enjoy my visit with my elderly parents. Thank you Jenna!”

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies who need lots of playtime and structure, to senior pets who require a gentler pace and extra attention. I’ve handled feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, administering basic medications, and making sure pets stick to their normal routines so they feel comfortable while you’re away. With dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, and providing plenty of exercise and companionship. I’m attentive to leash manners and always prioritize safety. With cats, I understand that each one has a unique personality — whether they’re social and playful or more independent — and I make sure to respect their space while still giving them affection and engagement. I treat every pet like my own, focusing on keeping them happy, safe, and stress-free. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands. I work a full time job but remote Fridays. Weekends are usually pretty free, and when I’m not spending time with outdoors I like to spend time chilling with my cats. I have been taking care of animals for my entire life. I’ve always had a very special place in my heart for animals and will do anything needed to take great care of them.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for my entire life! I’ve had 6 dogs of my own. I started watching friends, family, and neighbors' dogs at just 10 years old, and at 16, I started watching cats as well. I’d love to meet your pets and give them a home away from home :) I would love to spend all day with your pets. I work a part-time job where I will occasionally cover 4-hour shifts, but that’s the only time I’m away from the house. I would love to discuss what you love for your pets, whether it is car rides, walks, runs, etc. I have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space. I’m ready for all the energy or no energy at all, and I’ll be sure to follow any specified requests on how I can make your pet's time away from you and/or home the best time!
