Animal enthusiast up for adventure!
Pet care experience
I have had many family dogs, cats, small animals, and fish growing up and have my own dog now, as well as three cats. I’ve also cared for turtles, birds, and other small animals. I am willing to work with any size, breed, age, and temperament of dog and love all animals so I’m always up for caring for other pets you may have while dog walking, petsitting, etc. I’ve been caring for pets for majority of my life and always want the best for the animals I look after! I also enjoy getting outdoors and hiking, so I am willing to do whatever is preferable for your dog and other pets to keep them healthy and active.
Reviews
Jen watched our cat while we traveled for about a week. She was incredibly responsive, sent detailed info about each of her drop-ins and provided great photos. 10/10 recommend!
Jen is so helpful with my dog Hanson- she’s able to catch up with him quickly and take care of him
Great job with my pup and care!
Jen is absolutely great. It’s our first time using Rover as cat-sitter and I was actually very nervous about our two cats. Jen provided us with very detailed reports after each visit and made sure the cats were fed and happy. She even took an extra step to help us clean the vomit and inspect the floor. I am very thankful to have her cat-sitting during our absence and will definitely book again in the future when needed!

I would most likely need to care for your dog at your house as I have one dog and three cats and my yard is not fenced in, but I’m willing to accommodate as much as possible according to what works well for you and your pet(s)!
Information Jen F. would like to know about your pet
It is always good to know if you have any preference on where you like to take your dog on walks and how they interact with other dogs, people, kids, small animals, etc. so I know whether it’s okay to let them greet others while walking. I can start to pick up on how they react to certain things after doing some walks with them, but it’s always good to know upfront, as well! Also, if your dog has any medications they need administered, or if they have any other health specifications, then I will be sure to accommodate those to the best of my abilities.
A typical day
I really enjoy hiking and finding new trails to explore so if that is something that is at your dog’s energy level, then I can definitely take them on little adventures to trails nearby. I also love to play fetch with my own dog and give her activities that stimulate the brain and get out mental energy so I can keep your dog occupied with something like that. Other than that, I am also willing to just go on a simple walk around your neighborhood or sit on the couch and give them some love.

I started “The Dog Walker’s Diary” in the fall of 2022 when I was at a career crossroads. I was doing dog walks and picking up other odd jobs while I was on the hunt for a 9-5 job when I realized that I love working with animals and wanted to pursue this as a career and started my own business. I am also working towards a real estate license, but I have a flexible schedule and am willing to accommodate you and your pet’s needs as best as I can.
