I work remotely so I am around to keep your pets company. Animals are usually better coworkers than people! I will always ask how long your pet can be left home alone and will adjust my schedule accordingly.

Information Jen R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any idiosyncrasies your pet has. It won’t scare me off no matter how unique. Please also let me know if they are scared of bikes, motorcycles, or skateboards and what yelps calm them down.

A typical day

We will walk along North coast highway if they are staying with me and stop at all of the good treat spots! I take your pets lead for other activities they enjoy whether it is fetch, snuggling, or just head scratches.

Pet care experience

I’ve been actively pet sitting for about 4 years now! My boss always says hire for the character and everything else can be trained. I take that to heart as I am a hardworking and responsible person. I know it can be difficult to find people who you can trust, but I can be that person. I absolutely adore animals and without any pets of my own, I will treat you pet like royalty. I’m an engineer, a gymnastics coach, and a pet sitter. I’ve been pet sitting for my coworkers for the last few years and will always make time for your pet. I have a small fenced in back patio that is perfect for potty breaks and fetch. I do live in a studio apartment but can keep my back door open for easy access to the back area!

Jen was great with Charlie while I was out of town! She gave him lots of love and playtime and he was so happy when I got back. Would definitely work with Jen again!
