Availability

I work from home and have a flexible schedule so we can work together to find times that work well if you request me to do drop in visits or walks. I will be able to meet the your needs and the needs of your pet. I am able to take them for walks or to the park as needed and even sit with them in your home while they have their lunch or dinner. Also lots of play time! PLEASE READ IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BOARDING: If you are looking to board your dog in my home I will need advanced notice. I typically like to meet the dog and owner before a visit starts. If your dog has separation anxiety, it may not be the best match for me as I typically need to leave the house on short errands to care for other pets. I have a relatively small living area space so I typically take dogs that are small to medium size and have lower energy. If you have a larger breed, I will consider boarding if your dog is a couch potato.😀 Your dog must be clean! I appreciate the consideration. Other than that, my only other requirement is your dog must be the goodest boy or the goodest girl ever! 😉 oh and cute too! I do not have a fenced in yard for your dog to run around in. But I live in an awesome neighborhood that has lots of places to go for long walks. I look forward to caring for your dog in my home.☺️

Peace of mind while you are away.

Pet care experience

My goal is to give you peace of mind when you are away and need to leave your fur babies in my care. I have been providing pet sitting/dog walking services on a consistent basis for about 8 years now. I absolutely love taking care of dogs and cats. They are just the best! I understand how it is to have to leave your babies in someone’s care so I do all I can to provide you with reassurance, pictures, and updates so you can relax while you are away. (I will also make sure they get all the pets, treats, and snuggles.) <3 I have the ability to build trust and connection with dogs easily. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to have the experience to instantly bond with a friend's dog after I met her for the first time. Her name was Gypsy and it was like she knew me for years. I would meet my friend in the local park and Gypsy would treat me like a long lost friend, jumping on me and giving me kisses enthusiastically. I do my best to bring that energy of care and adoration into each pet sitting experience. Thank you for checking out my profile! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Jen is great! She provides a calm safe atmosphere for my senior dog. Daily pictures and updates. Frequently asks questions. She wants to do her best to take care of your best friend. Will definitely book again.

Jen is AMAZING! My kitty, Phoebe, never leaves my side. I was nervous to leave her for 16 days because she is not used to being alone. However, there was nothing to worry about because Jen is a real pro. Phoebe did have separation anxiety when I left. Jen promptly reached out and worked with me daily until Phoebe was better. Jen even had to give Phoebe a medication that I had not anticipated. No problem! You can feel confident she will take great care of your pet.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
