16 to 40 lbs

Availability

I have the freedom to create my own schedule so that makes it easy for me to create availability to care for your pet. I’m able to transition the pups into their regular routine fairly easily and this helps with the anxiousness of their favorite human being away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced backyard and two pups to keep yours company. I could also simply crate or put them in their room if everyone prefers solitude. There’s also a large dog friendly park and forest preserve area nearby. The safe community creates a welcome environment for pups to go on daily walks.

Information Jenna R. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preferences and have yet to come across a dog that I didn't enjoy and love. Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know about any dietary restrictions and house rules they may have. Let me know what tricks and commands they’re familiar with.

A typical day

Hopefully your dog loves being outdoors. We will go on several walks throughout the day and maybe to a few dog parks. Afterwards, I like to wipe their paws down and give them a little muscle rub. I've never met a pup that didn't enjoy cuddles and bellyrubs. We’ll do meals depending on what kind of feeding schedule you have them on. I am all about open communication and availability with my clients. I like to keep them up-to-date on our activities throughout the day and will send snaps of their sweet pup. I like to keep my home nice and tidy so that the dogs I sit don’t get into anything they’re not supposed to. I always want to do my best to ensure that your furry friend is safe at all times. I’ll be sure to give your pet all the love and attention they need.

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Jenna! I cherish the love and loyalty of every dog I meet. There truly isn't another domesticated species that carries the same joie de vivre that canines do. Why wouldn't I want to be surrounded by the best creatures on earth? There is something so soothing about the energy of sweet pups. I find pet sitting to be a very fulfilling line of work. I have a Yorkie who is an absolute sweetheart. Outside of my own home, I have about 15 dogs in my life that I love and care for when needed. I was able to find a home for a couple of rescues, a Chihuahua mix, and a Bulldog Mastiff mix. I am currently looking to volunteer at an animal shelter. I’m a positive, hilarious, and nurturing person. The nurturing instinct comes from being the oldest sibling in my family. In my group of friends, I’m known as the funny one. A Charlie Chaplin quote I've always lived by is: "A day without laughter is a day wasted." I definitely enjoy a good workout. There’s nothing like a nice walk on the trail or a hike through a local forest preserve. I would definitely cherish having a fuzzy companion along with me for an adventure. I am open to caring for other animals besides dogs. I welcome all animals into my life. I have two cats and a bird at home. I've cared for hamsters, rabbits, turtles, fish, ferrets, and iguanas. I'm not squeamish at all and find reptiles and critters very fascinating. I love how every creature has its own unique personality.

Jenna was the perfect sitter for Siena! While we went on vacation for the weekend Jenna was available on short notice and she did the best job! All the walks, treats, and play time. They had so much fun! I will definitely be booking with Jenna again.

Jenna was great. She was very attentive to our dog and amenable to everything we asked of her. She took it upon herself to stitch up a very loved and worn favorite toy of our dog and seemed to go out of her way to make sure our dog was comfortable. Our pup seemed very happy when we returned home.
