Nanny Paw*Pins ready 2 WoW ur pets!
Pet care experience
Looking to help my neighbors & make some furry friends while I'm at it. I've previously been a sitter on Rover, an experienced pet owner of dogs, cats, iguanas & tropical fish. I've also fostered kittens through a local shelter and sat for birds, guinea pigs, and hermit crabs. My day job is Nannying for human Littles. This job often includes their pets. Because I currently live in an apartment, I'm not caring for dogs at this time. Thank you for looking!
Reviews
Jena is amazing!! She took care of our 2 cats for nearly 2 months while we had major construction that would have been really hard on them. She was so thoughtful and attentive, sent regular photos and videos, and was so responsive and flexible when we needed to extend their stay. The cats clearly enjoyed their time, and we were relieved to have someone so kind taking care of them. Thank you!!!
Our cats love spending time at Jena’s. She is wonderful and we appreciate her photo check-ins and her scheduling flexibility.
I've done my reviews in reverse order! This is my second booking with Jena but now I've already finished a third trip. I had no hesitation after my first booking to immediately schedule with Jena when I found out about a week-long work trip. I took both my cats to her place again for boarding. I'd rather they were with people who enjoying having them stay versus someone dropping in for a short time every day. My kitten had just been spayed and was still wearing the cone and needed oral pain medication every 12 hours. I let Jena know about the situation in advance but she should not have been more gracious and caring. She administered the medication and kept me informed about the little one's healing process. Aside from the pictures and updates, you can just tell that Jena enjoys the animals and is a kind and caring person. I left it to her, if she felt comfortable, to take the cone off but she only did so still only after checking with me first and letting me know she would be able to observe for any worrisome behavior. I felt very comfortable the entire time I was gone knowing that both cats were in a loving home. Separately, I was able to schedule some vacation time shortly after this trip so I booked Jena a third time and that review is already up! Repeat customers are a testament. Plus, I have to drive an hour to get to her place so I hope that shows how I feel about who takes care of my pets! :-)
This is my third booking with Jena and I continue to be relieved at finding her! Both my cats always seem to have a good experience. They probably like staying with her more than me at this point. LOL Seriously, I know they are in good hands and well loved when they stay with Jena and it takes the stress off of me. No current trips planned but I will not hesitate to check Jena's availability first before scheduling.

At this point, I plan to primarily care for animals in your home - so I will follow the protocols you set. My apt is child free and safe, but only available for special cases.
Information Jena T. would like to know about your pet
Their favorite toy, triggers like lightning, big/small dogs on walks, or squirrels. Also if they tend to be finicky w their food when you are gone and what has worked in the past.
A typical day
Besides walking and feeding your dog, I will talk and sing, pretty and cuddle if they enjoy that - play with toys if they prefer that. With a shy or mellow dog, I'll wait quietly with them either on the floor or in a sunny place outside. It really depends on your animal's disposition and mood ?
