Safety, trust & environment

One of my favorite activities is making up little songs for my own cat and my patients. I will likely be unable to stop myself from singing to your pets, unless they give me a clear indication that the singing is terrible and must stop. I'm comfortable with most harnesses and leashes, but I do prefer to walk dogs with a non-retractable leash. Whatever your preferences are for care, I will make it happen.

Information Jenn W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are specific things your pet likes, that may help us bond better while you are gone. Please also let me know if they are very sneaky with the door! I am typically great with "door dashers" but it is good to know ahead of time. Additionally, I can accommodate most special needs as well. I am very comfortable giving oral, topical, or injectable medications.

A typical day

Our day will be as planned-out or free-range as you'd like! I love to engage with pets as much as they are comfortable with. We will play and generally spend quality time together.

Pet care experience

I grew up in a house full of Yorkies, helping to care for them from birth through adulthood. I've been a veterinary assistant for the past 7 years, which has only strengthened my love and empathy for pets. At work, I typically care for hospitalized patients recovering from surgery or receiving care for a major illness. I love building a bond with my patients and taking care of them during such a scary and stressful time. My workplace puts a large emphasis on fear-free handling, which has given me so many tools to identify the emotional state of pets and how to interact with them to keep them comfortable and happy.

Jenn is an amazing cat sitter. She goes above and beyond for our kitties and always sends updates and great pictures. We always feel at ease when we leave town knowing she is our sitter. Thanks so much Jenn!
