Hi! I’m Jenay, a full-time pet care provider with a big heart for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior dog needing extra TLC, who just needs some quiet company, I’m here to offer patient, loving, and dependable care. As someone who’s available full-time, I have the flexibility to meet your pet’s needs — whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, or last-minute visits. Your pets will get my full attention and care, just like they’re part of my own family. I’ve cared for pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks and routines. I believe in clear communication with pet parents, sending regular updates and photos so you always know how your furry friend is doing. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and safe, and I’m also comfortable following detailed instructions if I’m caring for your pet in your own space. You can count on me to be on time, respectful of your home, and fully engaged with your pet’s wellbeing. Let’s set up a meet and greet! I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help.

Love dogs!!

Pet care experience

I have over 20 years of experience caring for pets, especially dogs. Growing up, I was surrounded by many different breeds and personalities, which helped me develop a deep understanding of their needs and behavior. One of the most meaningful experiences I had was caring for my senior dog, who lived to be 13 years old. In his later years, he developed arthritis and cataracts, and I was closely involved in managing his daily care, providing him with comfort, and making sure he stayed as active and happy as possible despite his health challenges. Currently, I have a 3-year-old Shih Tzu who keeps me on my toes! She’s full of energy, and I enjoy taking care of her grooming, exercise, and overall well-being. With my background, I’m comfortable handling pets of all ages — from playful puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and support. I truly believe pets are part of the family, and I always strive to provide them with love, attention and proper care.

Jenay is quickly becoming Lenox’s favorite friend. She takes such good care of her. Lenox returns home ready to rest and recharge for next time.
