Certified Veterinary technician
Pet care experience
As a veterinarian technician for 20+ years, I have extensive knowledge of animal health and care. I do work in an animal clinic and am typically scheduled 3 to 3 1/2 days per week so I have some flexibility with scheduling. As an experienced pet sitter I have taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, birds, snakes, spiders, turtles, and fish including special needs cats for my last client for whom I sat for nearly ten years. Additionaly, I am capable of dealing with any specialized dietary or medical requirements your pet may require. I am also an active fitness enthusiast and I can walk 2+ miles with your dog if desired. I look forward to working with you and your furry family member.
Reviews
Jen was great! Easy to communicate with and very professional i would definitely reccommend using her services if she is available
My dog Sadie is uncomfortable around strangers; she gets frightened, trembles, and will move away nervously, and sometimes urinate out of fear. I was worried about finding someone whom Sadie would be comfortable with while I was out of town. I chose Jen because she's a Vet Tech with experience handling animals, and as I'd hoped, Sadie took to Jen within fifteen minutes of meeting her, and continued to go to Jen with tail wagging, and licking her hand. Jen's gentle demeanor worked very well with Sadie. Jen also offered a second meet-and-greet, which I fully appreciated, to assure Sadie would be familiar with her. Jen is very prompt, responsive, and considerate. She sent pictures and messages on how her visits went with Sadie, which I appreciated very much. I highly recommend Jen, especially if you have pets that tend to shyness. I will certainly use her services again.
Jen did a great job taking care of of my cat during my long trip. All of my specific care instructions were followed and I got daily updates.
Definitely recommend Jen, we felt that our dog was in great hands while we were away. She kept us updated daily too which was really nice. Overall a great experience!

I will stop by 3 times a day, take your dog outside for potty breaks, either in your backyard or a walk. Feed them, give them affection and play with them. Before I leave I will let them out again and then crate them (if that’s what you do).
Information Jen W. would like to know about your pet
I like detailed notes on what your pet likes, needs or medical conditions. This should include medications, how much and what they eat, favorite toy, and if I am walking them, do they react when other dogs or people walk by them. I also ask for your veterinary information in case there is an emergency.
A typical day
I don’t have a favorite place I walk, but if there is a trail by your home I will use that. Or I can walk the neighborhood.

Jen can watch in your home
Availability
I have flexibility in my schedule so I would be able to walk your dog 3 times a day. I work 4 days. So on the 3 days off I could spend more time with your pet.
