Over 10 years pet experience.
Pet care experience
I bring to the table over 10 years of experience working with both dogs and cats. While living in Japan, I was the manager of a shelter for a year in the disaster area, and back in the US I worked as a kennel attendant for over a year, often caring for over 50 dogs at one time of all sizes and temperaments. Most recently I worked for the SPCA for 2.5 years, but left to take care of my niece and nephew. From my time working with animals professionally, I became first aid certified and trained in how to form play groups and prevent altercations. In my home, we have 2 very dog friendly cats (who can be separated if needed). We also have a huge house, on 6 acres of land.
About Jen K.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I enjoy spending extra time with the pet to make sure they don’t feel too lonely while you’re away. I’m also very used to administering medicines and dealing with less than friendly cats/dogs from my time working in kennels.
Information Jen K. would like to know about your pet
Temperament, if there are any known behavioral issues, and if there are any medical concerns. I also like to know if there’s any areas your pet does and doesn’t like to be pet.
A typical day
We have several dog parks nearby, and since my house is on 6 acres and in a quiet neighborhood, we can also take frequent strolls right outside my door.

Currently I am only working part time to help care for my niece and nephew, so I have lots of time to care for pets.
