Experienced and Loving Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Jena, and I currently live in the Bay Area. I’m an outgoing, friendly, and responsible person who absolutely loves animals. One of my biggest goals is to start my own dog rescue organization someday. I have years of experience with dog sitting and house sitting. As a passionate animal lover, I truly enjoy spending my time with these adorable love bugs! I’m also very mindful when it comes to caring for people’s homes, always ensuring everything stays clean and organized. I strive to leave a space as good as (or better than) when I arrived.

Jena was THE BEST pet sitter. Not only did she update me several times a day with pictures of my higher-intensity dog Murray, take him on way more walks than I ever could, give him her undivided attention, but she left my house so clean and respected. I'm so excited to have found her here and I can't wait to have her back!

Jena is wonderful! She's a great communicator and is punctual and trustworthy. Our dogs loved her which was evident in the cute photos she sent. Thank you Jena!

Jena took care of our dog and house on rather short notice. She came over for a tour and instructions before we traveled. Our house was clean and tidy when we returned. She kept in touch and sent cute pictures of Chico, our dog. When we ran into a flight cancelation on our return she offered to check on Chico after her assigned dates. That’s going the extra mile!
