Really love animals & it’s mutual!

Pet care experience

I limit my service area to Pentagon Row. People call me the Dog Whisperer. With 4-H and Humane Society volunteering background, I understand how to interact with dogs, and they really love me. It’s mutual! I had a black cocker spaniel I absolutely adored, but … sadly, they don’t live as long as we do. I travel too much for work now, so I would love to help you with yours. I am patient with puppies and seniors, little or giant dogs. Some day I hope to have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks. Since I’m a musician, I would have “two roadies”! I love puns as much as I love dogs.

Jen has been an incredible find for us. After entrusting her with my dog four times now, it’s clear she’s more than just a dog sitter; she’s become a cherished friend to my dog. His excitement at his arrival says it all. She indulges him with his fav toys, ensuring he’s always entertained. She sticks to his dietary regimen, following meal plans and keeping a close eye on his diet, which is a huge relief for me. She’s committed to keeping me updated with photos and ensuring he’s well-socialized with other dogs. Her attentive care and genuine affection for my dog is the best. I can’t recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking thoughtful and reliable dog sitter!

Information Jen S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet needs any special care, what treats they’re allowed, and for dogs how they interact with other dogs, kids, people, etc.

A typical day

I take a neighbor’s pup or two out for an afternoon walk during the week, or watch their dog or cat while they’re away. If they’re dog park regulars, we’ll stop there if their friends are there, but mostly it’s 1:1 time.
