Safety, trust & environment

If we're newly connecting, I like to start with a call or video chat and then a home visit, to make sure we are a good fit. And chat about your pet's needs, preferences and schedule.

Information Jen B. would like to know about your pet

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!

A typical day

Nature walks or hiking are on on my personal schedule daily. And we'll socialize according to your pets comfort level. Most of the day and all of the night, we'll be together barring any special arrangements between us.

Pet care experience

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!
