Dedicated to caring for your pets

Pet care experience

I have grown up visiting and volunteering in a veterinary hospital, various animal shelters as well as having experience caring for many animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, needs and temperaments. I have had animals my whole life and have been expected to take on every responsibility required to care for them since I was about 10 years old. I have also cared for animals that have been rescued from abusive homes and have needed extra love and attention. Because of this I believe I am able to adapt to the needs of your pet/s whether that be based on their age or their energy. I am available to house-sit any day of the week, and can do drop-ins or walks before 3pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I absolutely love all animals and would love the opportunity to meet yours! Availability for services listed above is up to date as of 4/22/2024 😊

Jena went above and beyond with her care of my fur-baby! She sent tons of photos, and notes about their days together. I came home to a very happy & healthy pup (and a spotless apartment)! I can’t wait to book Jena again!! Highly highly recommend!!

Jena was fantastic! She went above and beyond when caring for and playing with our kitties. We could not have asked for a better sitter!

Jena was great at communicating, responsible and thoughtful while watching my dogs when I was away. Would definitely use her again!

Tycho absolutely loved Jena!! Jena went above and beyond the entire time, giving Tycho long walks and play sessions. She sent fantastic photos of their activities, and he always had the biggest smile on his face. She was a great communicator and allowed us to have a worry free trip.

I live in an apartment with my 15 year old dog, Sadie and current foster cat, Chase. Sadie gets along very well with both cats and dogs but she can be separated from guest pets if requested by the fur parent. If your pup likes new friends, Sadie can come along for house sitting, but is also well cared for at home, so feel free to let me know your preference! My foster kitty, Chase, has also proven to be a very adaptable little one! I can also crate pets as long as the crate is provided.

Information Jena M. would like to know about your pet

All dogs and cats are welcome to my care! I always love meeting new dogs and cats of every breed and can accommodate almost any of their needs as long as instructions are provided.

A typical day

I'll take dogs on walks around the neighborhood, to local parks and around the town. We can go for a run together or just a leisurely stroll and if they like toys or tennis balls I always love a pit stop in the park to run around and have fun.
