Caring and responsible dog lover!
Pet care experience
I’ve been around dogs since I was 5 years old, and I am very comfortable with taking care of all kinds of dogs. I’ve walked dogs professionally in NYC for over two years now. Mainly I do pet sittings. For pet sittings, I offer regular and on time feeding/refilling of water, on schedule potty breaks, and an overall watchful eye. I can give medicine to your pet regularly as well! My favorite part of pet sitting is being able to care for and befriend your pet- they’re the highlight of any sitting! I will definitely be able to give you updates/pictures- as many as you would prefer to receive! I always treat your pet as if they were mine, with plenty of love and attention. During walks with your pet, I offer a safe, but fun walk. I have a lot of patience, for dogs that may need some extra attention. During my time walking different dogs with a number of different temperaments/routines (I've watched many rescue pets, who may need some extra love and attention at times), I have learned the best ways to ensure the safety of your pet, while still making sure they're having a great time!
Reviews
Jen is an excellent communicator when she watched my dog. She sent me constant updates and pictures. Also she made sure to tell me what she was able to do and when she would drop in. I appreciated her professionalism and strong communication skills.
Jen watches my dog all the time and he loves her! He’s always happy when she comes over and she does a great job with him. I would highly recommend Jen for all your pet sitting needs.
Jen is an incredibly thoughtful individual who took care of our dog, Winston as if he were her own. She made time ahead of the booking to meet Winston and learn about his routine. Winston and Jen were immediate friends and it is easy to see that Jen genuinely loves animals. She was very responsive leading up to the booking to make sure everything was in order for a smooth stay. During the booking, Jen frequently sent us updates accompanied by professional-level photos of Winston. We could enjoy our trip worry free knowing that Winston was in such good hands. We came home to a very happy pup, a clean apartment, and some of those aforementioned photos that Jen had so thoughtfully printed for us. She really went above and beyond and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, communicative and responsible person to look after their pet.
Jen was awesome. She watched our two cats for two weeks while we were on our honeymoon. She sent great updates and was super responsive and positive. Got home to healthy, happy cats and never once worries about them while we were gone!
About Jen C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very respectful and mindful that I am a guest in your home. I am there to care for and support your pet! I do not mind answering any questions you may have for me and would always ask questions if I thought it was necessary. I treat all my clients' homes and their pets like if you were present with me.
Information Jen C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any specific things an owner prefers about how their pet is taken care of- whether that’s specific feeding/walking times or general things like things you always do and would like me to do while caring for your dog. I love all dogs, but have a soft spot for pit bulls and german shepherds. But I haven’t cared for a dog I didn’t immediately befriend! I've cared for many rescue pets, and I know sometimes they have triggers it's best to avoid. Just let me know! I try to keep your pet as comfortable as possible, and comfortable means they feel safe within my care.
A typical day
If possible I like to walk to a park or dog run (if owner preferred). I’m an energetic person so I love playing with the dogs I watch, whether that be running around or playing fetch.
Services
Jen can watch in your home
Availability
I am currently enrolled in school at SIUE and have morning classes only. I would otherwise be staying at home with your pet(s) the duration of the sitting.
