Pet care experience

Trusted pet-sitter in your Home!

Hi! I offer in-home care for dogs, cats and other creatures, primarily between Portland, Maine and Sedona.
But I also work with destination clients. I started my life out with a pack of German Shepherds and have been caring for animals my entire life. I’m experienced with all sizes, temperaments, and personalities— and other animals that are atypical pets..
 A core focus in my work and life is animal communication. For parents who enjoy understanding their pet more deeply, or have new pets, I’m happy to share insights into behavior and needs – once I’ve spent time getting to know your pet.
 I also have training in small animal massage and energy work. I offer consistency in play, exercise, Respect for your training routines, and am always attuned to what your pet actually needs.
 At heart, I’m an advocate for animals and their well-being. Their comfort, safety, and basic needs come first, and I’m honored to be part of your pet’s wellness team.

While I don’t yet have Rover reviews—most of my work has been through private clients—I’m happy to provide strong references upon request. I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit.

Jen really is a dog whisperer. My dog Greta is sensitive, a picky eater, and has separation anxiety. But with Jen she couldn’t be happier!

Schedule

My schedule is flexible. I generally work at “home” so am able to spend a lot of time with your pet, letting them know that you’ve made sure they are taken care of after the suitcases are out the door.

Please let me know if your pet has major behavioral or anxiety issues or out-of-the ordinary needs. I'll be honest as to whether I can take on any major challenges at any particular time. A lifestyle of moving around is work in itself, so preference is usually given to longer term sits :). Thank you for understanding!
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.
