Information Jen O. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your baby’s age, gender, general temperament, likes, dislikes, and any special needs/notes so I can better care for them. I would like to know their favorite place to be scratched/pet, their preferred motivators/treats and any triggers. I would also like to know how they are around other dogs and cats. (I can keep my kitties separated unless your baby loves cats as much as mine do.)

A typical day

I love interactive play with both cats and dogs. I find playful exercise (walking, fetch, wand toys) is a great bonding experience and can de-stress pets with new people. Once I’ve earned their trust, I’m all about the scratchies and snuggles.

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover and advocate with decades of experience providing cat and dog caregiver services to our community. My experience ranges from bottle babies to senior babies. I foster with rescues, so I am comfortable with a variety of personality types and special needs. I offer cat and dog boarding in my home, as well as in home visits. I also offer advanced care – baths, nail trimming, administering meds, including subcutaneous fluids and injections (B12, insulin, etc.). Having kitties and pups of my own my whole life, I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your fur babies when you are away. I would be honored to help you.

Jen is great! We were struggling to find the right kind of care for our special needs (diabetic) kitty. We boarded our kitty with Jen because she has experience with other types of special needs in cats. Jen was able to jump right in to learn exactly what our sugar-kitty needed with food, glucose tests, and insulin. Jen also gave us plenty of updates on how our kitty was doing and took great care of her for a long weekend. We have complete confidence that we can take a longer trip and our kitty will be well cared for by Jen.

Jen did a wonderful job for my two boys! She was supportive, calm, and caring for my cats since it was their first time being with a sitter. She does well with contacting you with any questions and her pictures were a great help to keep me at ease. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter.

I felt so safe and comfortable leaving my cat with Jen. She was so incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and accommodating. Worked well with my schedule, including some last minute scheduling changes. She was so reassuring and it was so clear to me that my cat had such a happy and pleasant experience. I will definitely be booking with Jen in the future. Her regular updates, thoroughness, attention to detail, empathy, and experience made me feel relaxed during my trip, knowing that my cat was in good hands. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

I recently had Jen to take care for my cat, and I can't express how happy I am with the experience! From the moment I reached out, she was incredibly responsive and attentive to my needs. She took the time to ask detailed questions about my cat’s routine, preferences, and any special care he might need. During the trip, I received regular updates with photos and messages, which really put my mind at ease. It was clear that my baby was enjoying her time with When I returned home, My cat was calm and content, a true sign that he had been well taken care of. Overall, I highly recommend Jen to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends. I will definitely request Jen to take care my baby again in the future!
