Highlights
Pet care experience
A lover of all animals!
I’ve taken care of dogs and other furry friends since I was 7. Many of my friends and family have entrusted me with taking care of their pets. I have dealt with a wide range of dogs, no matter the age, size, or breed. I am capable of handling more than one dog at once and have had hands on learning when it comes to reading animals body language. I have trained puppies as well as had a senior dog who needed to take meds of a strict schedule. I also currently have a special needs cat! I absolutely love doing this and the animals I work with. PLEASE READ BELOW TO SEE THE TIMES I AM AVAILABLE!

Safety, trust & environment
Pet care differs from pet to pet but somethings remain the same for all pet care. Making sure pets have fresh water, feed when needed, potty breaks, and of course most importantly love and attention. Walks - depending on your animals needs walks can look very different. Some dogs like the same routine and route everyday while others want to just smell the whole world (or at least the whole neighborhood). Animals are keep on leash the whole time unless in a fence in area such as a park. I keep a close eye on them to make sure they are not getting into anything they are not suppose to and to keep them as safe as possible! I try to avoid busy roads if at all possible to keep animals safe as that is my number one priority. Drop ins - depending on your animals needs drop ins can look very different. Some animals are couch potatoes and so I let out to use the bathroom, and the rest of the time is filled with lots of loves, cuddles and attention. On the other hand, some animals are filled with energy, so they are let out to use the restroom, and then they get lots of play time! In both case animals have supervised outside time to keep them as safe as possible. House sitting - depending on you and your animals needs housesitting can look different for everyone. First and foremost, I am quite busy during the day, but I will never go longer than an eight hour away. However, I try to stop by at least every 4 to 6 hour during the day! Usually in the evenings I am home with them just as you would be if you were there. I try to stick to your animals normal routine as much as I am capable of! I leave your home just as I found it (or better). At the end of the day I try to care for your animals as if you were there and to treat them as my own!
Ratings and reviews
Jeanette does a great job of taking care of our cats when we’re out of town!
We so appreciated the care Jeanette gave our Jade. She was responsive and responsible. We will definitely use her the next time the need arises!
My schedule changed and I needed a last-minute walker scheduled for the following day, Jeanette was more than happy to help and both of my pups seem to love her!
Jeanette took great care of my two kitties while I was on a trip!
Jeanette did great!!! Provided all of the care I needed for my cats and they very much loved her! Each photo she sent of them to me really showed how much of a great time they were having. Would hire again!
Jeanette was good about coming to meet and get instructions. I left detailed instructions also which were not followed as well as I wish they were. I asked that the litter box be cleaned on Tuesday and Thursday and it was not until Friday. I asked that the dirty litter be put in the box by the litter box and it wasn’t and I haven’t found it yet so not sure where it is. I had booked to have animals looked in on between 8-9 am , and 2 or 3 days it was much later. The last day it wasn’t until 1145. The garbage smelled like dirty cat cans, I had wanted them rinsed and put in recycle box. In all fairness It may have been the evening family member that did that. She forgot to leave my house keys on the last day. The light that I asked to be left on was off when we got home at 1130 pm. I also noticed that I had wanted a 30 min visit daily and 2 days it was less than that. The cats were ok , but I had hoped it would seem a little more like we were home with them, but I don’t think it was. This was our first booking with Rover, and I will try again , maybe with a different care giver. Not sure yet if maybe my expectations were too high, or if maybe Jeanette was too busy to follow the written instructions , or spend some lap time with them. All I got for pictures was of their filled food dishes, and the kitties eating.

- There are a few questions that I ask every pet parent when meeting them: Is your animal reactive in any sort of way? This could mean reactive to other dogs/cats, reactive to children, or or reactive to small animals, such as rabbits and squirrels. How does your animal show any signs of aggression? Do they have toy aggression? Do they have food aggression? How is your animal on leash? Do they pull? If the answer is yes to any of these questions that’s not a problem it just let me know how to better take care of your animals! How does your animal do with loud noises, fireworks and thunderstorms? Are they anxious? Do they have a special plan in place if these things occur? Are you, anyone in your family, or your animal allergic to anything? What are your house rules? And is your animals not allowed to do anything specific/not allowed anywhere specific? Do you leave music or TV on when you are not home for your animal? Do they like to play? fetch? tug-of-war? And do they have a favorite toy? Do they have a favorite spot to be petted? For cats in particular, how are they with being held/picked up? And finally, how will I be entering your home? garage? key? etc?
