“Jenni is great. She has helped us get our high energy dog out for walks while we are at work. She is patient with our little pup, and he always seems happy on days they walk. She always takes great pictures of our dog, and is very communicative about what is going on with our dog. Would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have always l always loved animals, growing up, we had cats and dogs. Two years ago, I adopted my first dog and he’s the love of my life. I will treat your pet how I treat my own, with love, kindness, and compassion. I am currently getting ready to start grad school in the fall, but I am not currently working, so I am at home full time to take care of pets. I have a medium/small crate if needed, I also have a fenced play pen, as well as a backyard that’s fenced to keep your dog secure.

About: Having lived with dogs for most of my life, I have experienced all age ranges – from rambunctious puppies to senior citizens. This has taught me a lot about day-to-day pet care, including walks, noticing body language, food, medication, and more. Additionally, I work part-time at a pet-friendly condo building. There, I meet dogs of all shapes and sizes. From shy and timid, to bold and outspoken, it’s a highlight of my shift to say hi to all my doggie friends. I also have experience pet-sitting cats and dogs. Please send me a message if you need help with your pet or have any questions! My current work schedule is gig based - so shoot me a message and I will promptly let you know if the time slot works! While I visit your pet, I will be empathetic, respect their boundaries, and let our friendship naturally grow over time. I love going on walks, so hopefully we will spend lots of time outside! Nevertheless, if your pet prefers indoors, that is fine with me. If I visit your property, I will treat it with utmost respect and care, as if it were my own. I always make sure to leave the property just as I found it. During my gap year away from university, there's no way I'd rather spend my time than with pets. I can't wait to meet yours!
About: I’ve had all types of animals for most of my life. I currently have three dogs, two cats and two fish tanks between my partner and I. I love animals and have always had a special sense with them. My schedule is kind of odd. I work on Monday afternoons and I am a mobile bartender and my schedule for that is always changing. I am a great communicator though! I have a fenced yard and my dogs are extremely socialized. I have worked hard to keep them friendly and happy fur babies.i am competent and can keep multiple dogs under control on the leash or safely pass other dogs without reaction. I also have references if requested. I love everyone’s animal with the respect that they deserve.
