Pet care experience
Think of me as a Mary Poppins for your fur babies. To me, this job is less about “sitting” for the dog and/or cat and more about nannying them. In other words, giving the dogs, cats and any other pets lots of time and attention, making sure they are happy and healthy, and loving them! Like any good nanny, I come with considerable experience. I’ve had dogs, cats and many kinds of pets in my life since I was five. I also worked as a pet store manager for three years, where we sold a lot of puppies! I worked closely with veterinarians to keep my store puppies happy and healthy. As a pet product representative for seven years, I learned even more about pets. I volunteered with pet-adoption centers in Oregon. I also have extensive experience with exotic pets such as birds, reptiles, small rodents and fish. I grew up with horses, had two of my own, so I can also take care of your hoofed babies. At present, I am retired, meaning I have plenty of time to give your dog and/or cat! In my spare time, I enjoy walking and hiking—a dog is a great companion for these outdoor adventures. I insist upon a meet-and-greet in advance because it’s so important to see how much your dog and/or cat likes me. During a meet-and-greet, I’ll meet you and get to know more about your dog’s and/or cat's history. I’ll have lots of questions about how to best care for your pets. I’ll keep your pets on a schedule as close to what they’re used to as possible. We’ll play with their favorite toys. They can sleep with me and will get a lot of snuggles and pets from me. You’ll always know what we’re up to, as I’ll send photos of our daily activities and updates on how we’re doing. I’m looking forward to taking care of your pets “in the most delightful way”—contact me today! I am retired and will be able to spend the majority of my time with your pets. I do have two kitties of my own, so I will need to check in on them at least every two days. I live in a small apartment so can only take care of small pets at my home. At your home, I will exercise them as needed and make sure they are happy and healthy.
Reviews
We love Jean! She is so great about sending us updates and taking our dog on walks (even though he can be a bit annoying about leash pulling). He loves her and seemed so happy and tired when we got home. She left our house in beautiful shape and even folded our laundry and put away our dishes for us! Thank you, Jean!
Jean was great with Bella!
My dog Alfie loved Jean. She was on time and they had a great walk.
Love Jean she has been taking care of my two doggies for a long time

A typical day
Here’s a rough outline of the day, which I’ll happily adapt for your pup: They would have a quick morning potty break, then enjoy some breakfast. We would play with their toys and we would go on a nice long walk. In the late afternoon, your pup could settle down for a bit of a nap and cuddle from me. In early evening, we would have dinner together and then some after-dinner playtime. An hour before bedtime, we would both go on a small potty walk. At bedtime your pup could snuggle up with me in my bed, unless they are used to their kennel instead. Here’s a rough outline of the day, which I’ll happily adapt for your kitty: Breakfast will be served with fresh water each morning. Catnip and treats will be given during the day. If your kitty likes to play, I will play with them during my visit. Your kitty will have a lot of pets and chin scratches. The kittie's litter box will be cleaned daily. At night dinner will be served and then we can snuggled together until bedtime. I shall take care of your exotic pets and/or hoofed babies as directed by you.
