Belly rubs and head scratches!!
Pet care experience
As a person who follows more animal related Instagram accounts than anything else and visits family members primarily to see their dogs (shhh don't tell), caring for pets is easily a hobby of mine. My experience ranges from my volunteer work starting in the seventh grade at Bobbi and the Strays Shelter in New York, to pet sitting dogs of friends, family and neighbors for up to eight nights (over night). I have watched a range of fragile/older dogs which had to wear diapers to high energy dogs that could play from morning to night. While majority of my experience is with dogs, I have also cared for cats as young as 9 months. A typical day pet sitting entails endless attention, playing, petting, belly rubs, and maybe a treat or two. The list can go on! I am on the first floor with direct access to the yard in my building which is fenced off. Currently working from home.

Jeanette watched Doc, our two-year-old, high energy golden while we were away for a few days. She was extremely attentive, responsive, and professional. Doc seemed like he didn’t want to leave when it came time to pick him! Jeanette sent twice daily updates per our request with details of his behavior as well as some great photos. It was so nice being able to relax while away with peace of mind that he was in great hands. We’ve already booked her for another longer upcoming trip and Doc can’t wait to see her again. Thank you Jeanette!
Cannot say enough good things about Jeanette!! I had just moved to Hoboken from out of state and did not have any friends/family in Jersey to watch my 1.5 year old pug, Marvin, while I went away to a wedding for the weekend. I was pretty nervous about finding a sitter because I had never left Marvin with anyone other than my parents before and if there was an emergency, I would be all the way on the west coast with my closest emergency contacts in the midwest.. so I really needed to find someone I trusted to not only watch my dog, but be solely responsible for him until I returned home. After a couple messages on Rover with Jeanette, I asked to schedule a meet up with her because she seemed like such a kind person who geniunely loved dogs. After hanging out with her and Marvin for a bit, my first impression was definitely confirmed- she really is the sweetest and she asked SO many questions about Marvin's care... by the time we left her that day, 95% of my anxiety about leaving Marvin for a few days had faded completely away. The last 5% of my fear disappeared when I was dropping Marvin off and Jeanette asked me if the temperature in her apartment was okay for him. Pugs are brachycephalic breeds, which are prone to heat strokes, and I was very concerned about this because I would be leaving Marvin on a very hot weekend in June (...and there are a lot of horror stories out there about dog watchers & walkers not taking the heat stroke thing seriously with pretty dire consequences). Jeanette, though, appeared equally concerned as me and her asking me to verify this just spoke volumes about the level of care/attentiveness Marvin would be receiving while he was with her. Throughout my trip, Jeanette sent me updates and pictures of her and Marvin... and I could tell from the photos he took to her like glue. When I came to pick Marvin, he almost did not want to leave with me... even after we arrived home, he whined at our front door for a bit and I could tell he just wanted to go back and play with Jeanette. Long review, but if you're still reading this, choose Jeanette! Seriously, you will not regret it. She will treat your pet as her own and you will feel so at ease with the entire experience. She is 1000% my go-to sitter for Marvin now and I am grateful to have found her on here!
Really responsive and transparent! Was patient in answering all my questions and providing updates.
(Sorry for my late review!) Jeanette is so kind and keeps me updated with texts & pics of my puppy. Definitely recommend her!
