Trusted & Experienced Pet Care
Hi there! I provide reliable, in-home pet care so you can feel comfortable being away, knowing your pets are in good hands. Whether you’re heading out for the day or planning a trip, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible — feeding, walks, litter care, medications, and lots of check-ins and updates along the way. I work with dogs, cats, and small animals, and I’m especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra care. I’m a trained Veterinary Technician with over 20 years of animal experience, and I’m experienced with: * medications (oral, injections, insulin, etc.) * senior pets * post-surgical or medical needs * shy, anxious, or more complex cases That said, I also love working with happy, healthy pets who just need dependable care while their people are away 😊 Services include drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight care, all tailored to your pet’s needs. I also provide small animal boarding and nail trims primarily for cats, rabbits and small animals I’m insured, bonded, Pet First Aid certified, and vet recommended. A few things to note: • I serve Ottawa West & South-West areas (some locations may include a travel fee) • My schedule can fill quickly, especially during peak times • Overnight care may include time away during the day for other client visits • All services are customized based on your pet’s needs

Ratings and reviews
Jen is amazing! The dogs love her and she always leaves the house spotless!! She is very informative on the dogs and always responds quickly.
Jen is my go to cat sitter. I trust her to take great care of the kitties and she is very good about sending me updates when I am away.
Jen and Sean did a great job looking after my two cats.
Dixie really enjoys her walk with Jen, especially playing ball. Thanks again.
We were not able to take Dixie for walks one a week due to illness. Jen and Sean were great. Self starters which we really needed! Dixie took to them right away and enjoyed their time together, greeting them with genuine delight. Thanks again Jen and Sean.
Boys always love there walks and visits with Jen and Sean!

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time career, not a side job or hobby. This allows me to focus on providing consistent, reliable care for your pets. I offer a range of services including in-home visits, walks, overnights, medication only visits, nail trims, and small animal boarding. Boarders are checked throughout the day, and visit timing can be adjusted based on your pet’s needs. Most visits are approximately 30 minutes, with options for longer visits when needed. For pets requiring medications, extra time, or multi-pet households, we can customize care to suit your situation.

Safety, trust & environment
Boarding is available for small animals and occasionally vaccinated cats. All boarders are kept safely separated from other animals. Please note that my home does include preteen and teenage children, so pets should be comfortable in a family environment. For home visits, your pets remain in the comfort of their own home, and each visit is tailored to their routine and needs. Overnight care is available — as I may have other client visits during the day, we can discuss what schedule works best for your pet and create a plan that keeps them comfortable and cared for.
A typical day
Dog Walking: I provide individual, leashed walks in your neighborhood or nearby trails, depending on your dog’s comfort level and routine. Visits can also include playtime, enrichment, cuddles, and time to relax — whatever suits your dog best that day. In-Home Pet Care: Your pets stay in the comfort of their own home while receiving one-on-one attention. Visits can include feeding, walks, yard time, litter care, medications, cuddles, and playtime. I always aim to keep their routine as consistent and low-stress as possible.
Prices include all fees.
