Pet care experience

Oceanside Paws

Hi! Jen here! I’m a passionate, lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes. From bottle-feeding kittens as a child to managing the quirks of senior pups, I’ve been lucky enough to spend most of my life surrounded by furry, feathered, and even scaly friends. At 35, I’ve turned my love for animals into a side-job, and nothing brings me more joy than making sure your pets feel loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s taking your dog on an adventure walk, keeping your cat entertained with their favorite toys, or making sure your exotic pets are thriving, I tailor my care to fit every animal’s unique needs and personality. When I’m not pet-sitting, you can usually find me hitting up the beach, exploring hiking trails, making sourdough bread, reading a good book, and I find myself ecstatic when any of those involve pets. I believe every animal deserves the best, and I’m here to provide just that for your beloved companions. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing pets! Let’s create a worry-free experience for you and a fun, loving time for them. My son has allergies, so we can’t have our own pets. This allows more freedom and flexibility for your pet.

Jenna and her kids were great with our two old girls. We got plenty of pictures and updates throughout our trip. Would recommend!

I was a little nervous leaving our Doberman for the weekend. However Jenna sent photos and updates everyday and I knew my fur baby was in good hands. Cleo was very happy and well cared for. I highly recommend her for pet care needs.

Terrible experience. Complete incompetence and inability to communicate. We were notified with zero warning that Jenna was canceling and leaving our other dogs without care. She knew our dog is mouthy, has energy and plays. Not once during the day were we notified of any issues. It was 7pm when we were abruptly notified that she was up and leaving. She refused to open the ring camera, I had to ask 4-5 times. She stated our dog is aggressive yet we have never had any issues with anyone else, we have a fantastic dog trainer who also states she is not aggressive… I take this accusation very seriously as a dog owner. Our dog is a puppy and needs structure which was clearly not provided. Nor was I given any chance to rectify the situation by giving Jenna the dogs commands and obedience she has been trained for. She also did nothing to mentally stimulate our dogs which was previously discussed. She just left them outside all afternoon.

Jenna was amazing. She let me know how the dogs were doing throughout the day. The dogs seemed happy and adjusted with having a new person in their home. She was respectful of our home and left it very clean. I will be rebooking with her in the future.

Schedule

You need me, I’m there. I’m a SAHM, homeschooling mom, so I have a very flexible schedule. Your pet will be my priority during my time with them. If you allow, my well-behaved children would also love to help with responsibilities. If we need to house-sit, or stay with your pet for an extended period of time, we can easily structure our day around your pet and/or home.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Jenna can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know beforehand if your pet has any special needs I need to account for. I also need to know ahead of time if your pet has a history of aggression.
