Pet care experience

Just a girl who loves animals!

Hello! My name is Jena!! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was surrounded by dogs of all personalities and sizes — and I truly love them all. I’ve gained hands-on experience through volunteering and working at veterinary clinics throughout high school and college. Whether it was helping with medical procedures or caring for boarding pets, I’ve learned how important patience, attention, and compassion are in animal care. I’ve also provided dog sitting for neighbors and friends, giving me even more experience with a variety of breeds and temperaments. I took a short break from dog sitting due to a changing work schedule, but now that I work from home part-time, I’m excited to be back! This means your pups will get lots of love, attention, and care throughout the day — along with plenty of walks and playtime since I’m very active and love fitness. A little about me: • Graduate of Jacksonville University 🎓 • Beach lover 🌊 • Lifelong animal enthusiast 🐾 I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

Jena was great at letting me know how Annie was doing throughout the day! Her dogs got along so well with Annie from the get go! Would recommend to anyone needing a dog sitter!

Our dog Gus was so well cared for at Jena’s! He got daily walks and got to play in their fenced backyard with Jena’s dogs. She provided frequent pictures and videos so I never worried how Gus was doing. Gus had so much fun staying with Jena and was very happy and tired when we picked him up.

Jenna was so great with Lizzie! She was flexible in drop off and pick up time which was much appreciated. She also sent pictures throughout the weekend and Lizzie clearly had a blast and felt comfortable with her. Would definitely recommend!

We left our dogs with Jena for a short weekend getaway. She was so nice and accommodating with meeting her, arranging pick up and drop off times, and she sent us several pictures while we were away. We felt so sure our dogs were in great hands and we will definitely rebook again if she's available!

Jena was great. Very flexible in terms of pick-up and drop-off times. She sent pictures every day, took Sedna for lots of walks, and to the park. My little pup seemed very happy and well taken care of when I picked her up. Will definitely hire Jena again if she's available!

I am a big advocate for making sure they get the daily exercise that is necessary to say healthy!
