Extremely experienced with animals!
Pet care experience
I have grown up and worked with with a range of dog breeds, from tiny to giant. I have extensive experience with multiple different types of dogs. I have trained some dogs in basic obedience as well, and apprenticed with a local positive reinforcement trainer. I love dogs, and its my passion to work with them. I worked as a kennel assistant for Martinez Animal Hospital, and have been trained to give oral medicine, eye/ear medicine, or IV fluids. I worked at Happy Hound in Oakland, and have been trained in handling multiple dogs at once as well as observing behavior and how to break up and prevent fights and arguments between the dogs. I also worked at Tony La Russa’s Animal Rescue Foundation, and have extensive knowledge regarding potty training, dog and cat behavior, as well as health. I am active, and can exercise with your dog including running or hiking per your area. Dogs are a huge part of my life, and I bond with them very easily. I have my own dog who is a sporting and tracking dog, and we participate in many k9 sports together including nose work and dock diving. He is dog aggressive, and is muzzle trained so I am very familiar with that. He suffers from predatory drift and toy guarding, which I have adapted my life to handle very well and can do so with your own dog as well. I have 3 cats as well, and have lived with them since childhood. one of my own cat is overweight so I am familiar with weight management in felines as well as feeding schedules. I work full time from 9-6, so house sitting requests tend to be more challenging. I am available during my lunch hour and after my work day. I have great time management skills and can easily adhere to your schedule.
Reviews
I had never used Rover.com and really had only barely heard of it. I was traveling for Thanksgiving to see my daughter who has been ill and suddenly my beloved cat, who I rescued as a 3 oz kitten and who, tho basically wild, has slept on my pillow for 13 years and even suckles on my arm but will slash anyone else who comes near her, started ailing very quickly. Within two weeks she went from a robust creature who ruled her domain: the roof, trees, and hills around our house, to a frail, sickly old-seeming cat. She was too frail for the vet to even drawn blood and decipher what was going on. I couldn't cancel my trip and was desperate. Sight unseen, I reached out to Rover, heard from Jenyses, and hired her. We have never met. The entire week I was away Jenesys sent photos of Cricket every day. She even read out loud to her one afternoon. We returned last night and Cricket looks very happy and no worse than she was when I left. No trace of anxiety. Jenesys was also well versed in the giving of meds if Cricket had needed them (Jenesys and I decided it would be best to let her rest). It was an amazing comfort for me to have her experience. I felt quite alone in these decisions (even the vet wasn't as helpful as I would have liked), and having someone I trusted weigh in eased my mind beyond words.
Jenesys was great and communicated with us for each visit! Dusty was well taken care of!
Jenesys was great at caring for Dusty while we were away. She sent us cute check in messages and was easy to communicate with! Would definitely have her again!!
Jenesys was amazing as always! She kept us updated and sent the CUTEST pictures of our girls!

Information Jenesys R. would like to know about your pet
Any medical problems or needs, if potty trained or not. Outward displays of aggression or if any conflicts regarding walks i.e. aggression towards other dogs, tire easily, etc. I have grown up with all breeds, and I do not shy away from any.
A typical day
I can drive or walk them to the nearest park, or pick a trail to go on a short hike together, depending on the amount of exercise desired. I am able to provide toys to play games and keep the exercise to a minimum or indoors if desired as well. They will be spoiled with love!
