Highlights
Pet care experience
Former vet tech obsessed with dogs!
I grew up with dogs, and started volunteering at my animal shelter at 12 years old. My field of study at Cornell was animal science and I was a vet tech throughout college, as well as working in a barn and researching canine hip dysplasia. I then worked at PETCO for 5 years. In short I am obsessed and love dogs!!! I am comfortable administering oral, topical or other medications. My experience as a vet tech included caring for litters of baby puppies and kittens as well as adults, from bottle feeding, vaccinations, medications, and other TLC. I did a lot of pet sitting on Rover while living in California, and took the last few years off to care for my elderly dog that recently passed away. I only take ONE client/dog family at a time, unless YOU specifically ask or tell me otherwise. *I am so sorry, but I had to raise my rates recently. Rover has decided to increase their cut from 15 to 20% without offering any additional benefit to owner or sitter in exchange.*

Ratings and reviews
Jen took amazing care of our pup Riley, she handled her dog aggression with the patience and understanding needed and clearly communicated the entire stay. When our flights got messed up she even went above and beyond to help us ensure Riley was well taken care of. I know Riley also cannot wait to stay with Jen again!!!
Jen took such great care of our girl, Alice, who can be slow to warm to strangers! We got lots of pictures of her snuggled up on the couch and playing. Knowing she was so comfortable and having fun made being away from home so much easier! We’ll definitely book Jen again.
We've had Jen and her fiancé watch our dog Penny twice now and they are awesome! The updates were great, Penny looked very comfy and cozy, and they were very communicative. We will definitely be reaching out again. Thank you!!!!!
Jen was amazing! She was wonderful with Watson and we felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. We loved her regular updates and photos throughout the weekend, it made being away so much easier! <3
Jen put a very anxious cat mom at ease with her communication and extra kindness toward my guy Teddy! She was super responsive before and during the booking! Grateful that she was available. Looking forward to hiring her again.
Jen was terrific! My dog was well cared for and pampered. She also kept me in the loop of what Luna and her were up to! And shared lots of photos. She is very sweet.

Schedule
-I’m currently remote so I have time for pet care! My pup Cass recently passed after 13 years and we are not ready to adopt just yet. -I am a former vet tech very experienced with all different medication types. -I only take one client (or client family) at a time unless you specify otherwise. -I am able to provide pick-up and drop-off services in a private vehicle in addition to those listed. Pick-up/Drop-off is an additional cost that ranges depending on your location, whether I am using my vehicle or public transport, etc. The base rate is $25 each way but I may increase that for locations further than my default radius. *unfortunately due to congestion pricing I will need to add a flat rate to make up for trips into Manhattan* -I do leave the house for small increments during sittings to take care of things (gym, dinner, groceries, etc). If you require CONSTANT care, aka, your pet cannot be unattended throughout the stay, my rates will be adjusted to reflect that.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m super detailed and will follow any instructions that you leave! I am good with dogs and cats of all ages and behavioral and medical issues.
A typical day
Depending on your comfort level, I can take your friend on multiple walks a day, and play games such as fetch. Lots of belly rubs and scratches and cuddles! We have a yard to play in as well.
