Highlights
Pet care experience
Very Experienced Pet Sitter
I offer housesitting with many years of experience with petting and as a Property/Estate manager in Montecito and Santa Barbara now San Diego. I only watch one family of pets at a time. Your pet will be treated as family. We go on hikes, beach days, walks, play outside in the yard and go to parks if these outings are appropriate for your pet.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We have never had someone we didn't know stay with our dogs, let alone drop them off at their house. Jen was absolutely fabulous. She kept in touch with us with photos and kept them safe and happy. We can't thank her enough! CJ & Alf
Jen and I have a couple of mutual clients, and I know they are very happy with her dog sitting services. She is professional, caring, and treats all of her doggy guests to a lot of fun while they stay with her. I have referred some clients to Jen myself, as I find her to possess all qualities I feel are valuable in a pet sitter.
Jen has been looking after my dogs (and cats) ever since I moved to the area. When I go out of town she is the pet sitter I can completely rely on, and when I'm at work, she comes by during the day to take the dogs out for great walks. They are really excited to see her when she arrives and it's obvious how much they like her. The cats come out and rub against her legs as well--everyone wants her attention. I can completely trust Jen to do the right thing for my animals. One of my dogs sometimes limps and she takes her on only a short walk, making sure she doesn't hurt herself more on the longer walk with the other dog. Jen keeps me updated if there's something I need to know. I can always count on her.
Jen is fantastic. When I'm out of town, I feel 100% confident that my kitties are being well tended to. Not only does she feed them, she'll stay and spend time with them. I love how she sends texts and photos to keep me updated on their activities. I trust her absolutely to make sure my cats' needs are taken care of when I'm away. Jen gets an A+ and five/five stars for her great work.
Jen is very professional and friendly. I felt very comfortable leaving my little Karma with her and her daughter. She kept me up to date on how she was doing while we were on our trip with texts and pictures. I have been telling all my friends about her. Karma just love's Aunty Jen and gets so excited to go visit. It is so nice to not have to worry about my baby when we go out of town. We just love Jen!

Schedule
About this sitter: Really love what I do and the animals I care for. I grew up with many animals. My parents bred Doberman Pinchers. I love playing with the dogs, I believe it keeps both myself and the animals I watch happy and healthy to play out doors as much as possible. I also love to cuddle with the animals, they are so sweet. All the animals that come to visit us are treated as part of our family.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Why I love dog sitting I grew up on a large property in San Diego with Doberman's, Germain Shepherd/collie mix and my grandfather raised Rottweilers. I just adore dogs and cats. I love to take them to the beach, hiking, and cuddle on the couch.
A typical day
One fun daily activity with dogs is finding a place such as dog beach and take them so they can socialize and get their energy out.

- Things that are important to know about your pet are if they have any triggers, cats, squirrels, etc., if they are aggressive in anyway or afraid. Anything that would allow me to make their stay with me more comfortable, and enjoyable.
