Information Jen R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your pets are house and crate trained. I like to know how they do with a kitty in my house and contained chickens in the backyard. Please note, they most likely won’t even know the cat is present! We do prefer having your pet sleep crated, but are fine with special circumstances that come from time to time ** Please note, I’ll no longer be able to take huskies for boarding due to my husband’s allergies ** **If your pup is reactive and aggressive to chickens, this probably isn’t the best fit! Let’s do a meet and greet to make sure this works for us all!**

A typical day

I have a great neighborhood to go walk around, lots of smells, birds and squirrels around here. I have a doggy pool in our backyard that pups love and I have a whole basket of toys. Also just got a doggy splash pad that I can’t wait to try out!! We have lots of fun over here for sure ❤️

Pet care experience

* NEW* I now offer pick up & drop off services for well behaved pups 20 lbs and under! Open to assist within a 5 mile radius +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Hey there, fellow animal lover 👋 My name is Jen, I’ve been a sitter on Rover since October 2018. I’ve really enjoyed getting to know so many people and their pets!! My husband and I live in Donelson at Elm Hill and Bell Road by the lake, we are also 5 mins from the airport. We have one pup of our own, she’s super friendly and loves having buddies over!! We have a cat that loves dogs, but she will be kept hidden if your dog wouldn’t take to her too well. Recently, we have added four lovely hens to our family, who are contained full-time. As well as being fully contained, there is a barrier between their hen house and any dogs 👍 I love dogs of all sizes and love taking them around my neighborhood. I have great reviews and many very happy repeat clients. I’m able to remember all the small details and medications if needed. Your pet will be in the best of care when staying with me! Look forward to meeting you and your pet!! Thanks so much for your consideration and cheers to a stress-free time away from your fur baby! ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It seems I attract mostly poodle mixes, but my dog and I truly love dogs of all kinds!! Give us a try, we’d love to meet y’all!! ❤️❤️

Jen watched our 3 very needy cats while we were away getting married and taking a mini honeymoon. The last time we had left them with someone only popping in every few days, we came back to 3 very unhappy kitties....so this time we hired Jen to house sit and give them daily love. She did an AMAZING job with them! All 3 cuddled with her and remained calm/happy while we were away. She kept my cat, Jack, well fed since the other 2 like to eat his food when there's nobody around to stop them from over eating. We came back to 3 happy and relaxed cats who had been well taken care of. She sent me daily pictures and communication was smooth & easy. I would highly recommend her for your pwt sitting needs! We will be trying to get her assistance when we are ready to go on our main honeymoon next year 🥰
