Pet care experience

Tail Wags Guaranteed

I've been around dogs my entire life and currently care for three rescue dogs of different ages and activity levels. This has given me hands-on experience with everything from energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and engagement to older dogs who require patience, consistency, and extra attention. What sets me apart is my experience caring for multiple pets with different personalities and needs. I understand the importance of routines, positive interactions, and creating a safe environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and overall well-being, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a long walk, playtime, companionship, or simply a reliable caregiver while you're away, I'm committed to providing dependable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care and help them feel secure while you're away. In a client's home, I strive to maintain your pet's normal schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I pay close attention to safety during walks, keep a watchful eye on behavior and energy levels, and make sure pets always have access to fresh water and a clean environment. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand the trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care. I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect, and I care for them as if they were my own.

If you are looking for a dog walker, I highly recommend Jen for your pet. She is very patient and caring around dogs and will treat them as a member of your family. Jen will always be concerned about your pet's safety and well-being when they are in her care. She is reliable and will develop that trusting relationship with your dog so that your furry pet will enjoy and look forward to their walk around your neighborhood!

I’ve known Jen Kikendall-Wilkinson for 18 years and she is a huge animal lover and advocate for their well-being. Many strays have found a good home with Jen. Jen is trustworthy and has good judgment. My pets are in great hands with her- she treats them as her own!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I have availability during weekdays for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. Caring for animals is already part of my daily life, as I have three rescue dogs and four cats of my own. At this time, I am primarily offering pet care services on weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable, attentive care and accommodate your pet's routine as closely as possible. My flexible daytime schedule gives me the ability to focus on making sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

Before caring for your pet, I'd love to know about their personality, routine, and any special needs. Information such as feeding schedules, favorite activities, medications, allergies, fears, triggers, leash behavior, and how they interact with other animals helps me provide the best possible care. I also appreciate knowing any commands your pet responds to, where supplies are located, and any household rules you'd like me to follow. The more I know about your pet ahead of time, the easier it is to keep their routine consistent and make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy while you're away.
