Attentive and Devoted to Caring

Pet care experience

I have been around animals majority of my life. The zoo was my favorite place to be. I volunteered for a few summers as a teen. I had fish, lizards, turtles, crabs, and cats as pets growing up and my sister did dog sitting. I would help her out with walking and caring for them while in middle school to high school. I learned a lot and knew I had a special bond with my furry friends.

Jenel was absolutely wonderful and everything I was looking for in a pet sitter. She was an excellent communicator, both leading up to the sitting dates and during her time with my pets. My dog is very nervous around new people and she took her time with him to get him comfortable and was able to successfully walk him in less than 24 hours in addition to regular potty breaks. This was my first time leaving him overnight with a non-family member, but I was totally in the loop with everything happening at home which really put me at ease. Jenel has my highest recommendation and I hope to use her services again in the future! Thank you Jenel!

Jenel is an exceptional professional. She does not just sit to keep your pups safe. She learns their likes and dislikes, varies her approach as she learns them and their habits. Jenel sent updates with photographs and shares what is going well and if there were any concerns. She played with my puppy and made my senior pup feel comfortable. When I returned, my home was cleaner than when I left it and my pups were happy and safe, well fed, and in love with Jenel and her care. What I thought was terrible timing because my usual sitters were not available turned out to be a wonderful experience with an overnight sitter that I trust with my precious pups. Vacationing without my pups won’t be as scary for me now that we have met Jenel! Special touches: printed photographs of my babies left on my counter for framing and Jenel cleaned the guest room, washed the bedding and reset the room before she departed. Highly recommend Jenel as a petsitter!

Jenel did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Bella! She sent lots of photos and kept us informed of everything they did, from walks to feedings. She was very professional and enthusiastic about dog sitting. We’ll definitely ask her to dog sit again.

Our dog misses Jenel. That speaks volumes to the care she gives. Jenel sends pictures and updates daily and recognizes anything that might be off. She understands that each dog is different with unique quirks. Thank you tons, Jenel!

Pet sitting started out as a side hustle for me and quickly grew into my passion. I love being around animals and creating bonds. At your home you can expect your pet to be loved like my own. I will be sure to be aware of the time, so they are fed and taken out to potty along with any other care instructions given to me by you. I like to follow the routine your pet is usually on as if you never left at all. I enjoy going on walks myself so they will have long walks to sniff and play. In my care your animal will be comfortable and tails will be wagging from lots of cuddles!

Information Jenel A. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your pets favorite toys. Any hiding spots? If there are odd behaviors to look out for that could be signs or normal for them to do and things your pets aren’t allowed to do. It’s important to me that I know if they have any allergies, disabilities, past surgeries or injuries for the pets safety and care.

A typical day

My clients can expect their pets to be active if the pet is capable. I will take dogs on walks and we can play with their favorite toy in the yard. I love to play fetch! If it’s a playful cat I will play with its favorite toy till they get tired.
