Pet care experience

Cats & Dogs adore me & I adore them

I am a 5-Star Rover Sitter. You will have Top Rated care of your pets and receive responsive, highly responsible and reliable service for you, the pet parents. This means it makes it easier for you to know and trust your precious pets and home to great care, while you are away. My first dog, a golden retriever named Buddy, was a rescue. Buddy and I went everywhere together and when I traveled, I trusted Buddy to the care of dog walkers and sitters. I know firsthand how incredibly important a dog and cat sitter is in your life. My 5 Star Rover care affords you peace of mind. I have 6+ years of exceptional caring for pets on-site. I care for your dogs and cats and house sit at their respective homes. Please see my Rover Reviews on the Rover site from past and current clients.

If I could rate Jen higher than 5 stars, I would! She went above and beyond while watching our two boys during our wedding weekend, making sure to provide regular updates on their adventures. We felt so at ease knowing they were so well taken care of. She even made it possible for the boys to join us for a few photos during our event. She put in so much work to make sure the boys were comfortable, and despite them having a few behavioral challenges, she handled them with ease. The boys sure love her and we can’t wait to use her services again in the future! Thank you, Jen!

Jen was a perfect house sitter for our puppy Roux. From the very moment she met Roux in our meet and greet about a week before the stay, Jen was warm, patient, and caring to our pup. Our dog has some stranger danger, but warmed up to Roux so quick like Jen was a true dog whisperer. During the stay she was very communicative and sent up us updates with photos. We knew from the entire stay she was taking great care of our little girl. We would highly recommend her for future stays!

Jen was great! Our cats loved spending time with her and she gave us all the updates we asked for to let us know they were doing well. One of our babies is nervous around most sitters, but not around Jen. Jen has given us the ability to actually feel comfortable when we are away from home.

Jen was absolutely fantastic! Five stars does not seem enough. She was fantastic with our two cats and they adored her. She sent us multiple updates each day with pictures and videos! And, our home looked amazing when we got home. She far exceeded our expectations and I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the West Seattle area. Thanks so much, Jen!

Healthcare info: Age, weight, medications. I ask for your vet & emergency vet information and if possible, I ask you have a card on file if approved care is needed while you're away. At home daily care: I give dog or cat have treats if ok, and you provide them. Many pets have certain diet needs and I am aware of this need. I need know if your dog or cat is aggressive and if your has pet bitten, scratched, lounged or harmed or been threatening to a past pet sitter, visitor or other animals/people. Please let me know if your pet ever escaped their home, yard or pet walker or sitter and if yes, how? NOTE: I prefer dog harness for dog walks as it’s safest for both of us. Thank you
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
