Prof. Walker & Former Vet Assistant
Pet care experience
My name is Jena :) I'm an experienced animal caretaker. I have been petsitting and dog walking for 6 years now. I also worked as a vet assistant for 3 years and work professionally as a dog walker. Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved dogs more than anything. I was obsessed to the point of only being interested in things – movies, toys, books, etc. – related to dogs. I grew up with dogs, and I’m the mom of a big mush of a Black Mouth Curr named Charlie and two sweet kittens named Abbi and Ilana. Animals are my life and I love my job. Being a caretaker for your baby would be a dream. Please contact me if you have any questions for me :)

I do not take pride in tarnishing someone's reputation. Particularly someone young who is still learning the way life works. But I felt the need to alert others to a very poor interaction I had with Jena. She'd become our "go to" walker and was fantastic about helping us out last minute when our busy family activities sometimes wouldn't allow us to get home to walk our dog in time. She was on-time, courteous and sweet. So I was more than happy to extend the offer to house sit for us this weekend. While to me, it's not a big deal to forget a meeting to pick up keys, when we were working to reschedule it, Jena made several unprofessional, unfounded claims about me and my expectations of her. After misreading a frowny face (which I used to convey that I was sad she'd have to stop by later than we'd planned - 8 pm vs 6 pm) she misread it by a mile, and said i was disrespecting her. Accused me of being cheap - stating an imposition I'd placed on her for wanted to negotiate the rate - which we never negotiated. And then said she was uncomfortable working with us, leaving us with basically 1 day to find, vet and hire a new person. Jena is sweet, and capable, but clearly immature. If you are a family that relies on dependable people, with very little room for error, find someone else!
Jena is a wonderful dog sitter and kind person! She is responsible and I definitely recommend using her. She loves animals and has a very easy going personality that the dogs and cats respond too She looked after my cat and large dog with no issues. We were very pleased with Jena and I am sure you will be too!
Thank you Jena, I always feel comfortabe and confident that my fur babies will be taken care of when I leave them with you. My babies are lucky to have such a caring person looking after them!
Jena is an excellent dog walker and house sitter. She has house-sat for me several times, she treated my 2 small dogs and my cat as if they were her own. Highly recommend.
