Responsible Animal Lover

Pet care experience

PLEASE NOTE MY (IN THE OFFICE) WORK SCHEDULE BEFORE YOU CONTACT ME SO THAT YOU ARE CERTAIN THAT I CAN MEET YOUR AND YOUR PET’S NEEDS. THANK YOU. I am a mature, experienced pet and house sitter and I'm available to care for your pets in your own home. I will provide love and reassurance to your animals while you are away. IMPORTANT: I also work a day job Monday through Friday and have to be away from the house from about 6:00 am to 4:30 pm, depending on the location. I do get federal holidays off from my day job. I will make sure to come straight home from work and be home on the weekends to care for your animals. I can also provide other house sitting services for no extra charge, such as taking in the mail and watering your plants. I have local references and I know the Austin area fairly well. I am flexible with my rates for longer stays or long-term arrangements. Make me an offer and we can discuss it. I am open to caring for any kind of animal. I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, goats, horses, iguanas, tortoises, hermit crabs, rats, mice, birds, hedgehogs, fish, etc. I can handle special instructions and I understand the worry that comes with leaving your animal family members behind. Again, I work a day job from 7 am to 3:30 pm in South Austin but I will come right home to care for your animals and I’ll be home on the weekends. I will spend lots of time with your animals playing or snuggling, depending on their preference. I have no problem sharing a bed with your animals, as long as they don’t mind snoring.

Jena took good care of my kitty. She sent pictures every couple of days and my cat looked happy. My only complaint is that it seems like she helped herself to some of my snacks and ice creams, which I wasn’t expecting.

Jena is the best! Not only does our dog love her, she leaves the house in perfect condition, brings in all packages, and also helped by bringing in our trash cans. We highly recommend her!

This is the second time we have used Jena as a dogsitter for our Great Dane and she’s been great! Our dog seems happy and the house is clean when we get home. Thanks Jena!! :)

Jena was communicative and present with our old doggo, Daphne. She kept us informed and overall made us feel at ease with having a Dogsitter for the first time! Thank you Jena!

I care for pets at the owner’s home. I will treat your home with care and leave it as clean or cleaner than I found it.

Information Jena G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your animal has special needs or takes medication. I have cared for many senior dogs and they are kind of my favorite.

A typical day

I’m up for whatever your animal needs, be it (short) walks, heading to the dog park or snuggling on the couch. They will have my attention while I am home and I will do my very best to keep them safe and happy.
