Previous doggy daycare dog handler!

Pet care experience

I have 3 years experience as a senior dog handler for Lucky Pawz doggy daycare/boarding in Iowa City. I provided attention and care for the dogs who board, or come for daycare. I gave the pets who stayed plenty of love and attention, fed them according to their owners’ request, and made sure their spaces were tidy for their stay. I have owned dogs for practically my whole life, so caring for them does not just begin with working for a doggy daycare. I work great with every size, breed, and personality of dog. I work full time M-F traveling around the DSM metro with availability so stop in throughout the day. My special skills include patience, adaptability, and love and acceptance for every dog!

Jenna is a genuine joy. Her immensely warm demeanor and professional presence made us feel incredibly comfortable leaving our crew of silly misfits in her care during our first partnership with Rover. Responsible, respectful and a real pleasure to work only begins to describe her and her gift of service. We are truly blessed to consider her to be a member of our pack. Thank you for you, Jenna! 💜

I got to see Jenna work professionally with dogs when we were roommates in college. She loves taking care of them and is very patient and kind. She's one of the most responsible people I know and I'd trust her with my pets in a heartbeat. I can't recommend her enough!

Jenna is super good with our pup, Maisy, who’s not even a year old. She used to work at a doggie daycare and understands her puppy body language better than I do half the time. She gives her lots of love, time, and the needed patience for ornery “teenage” puppy.

I wholeheartedly recommend Jenna to anyone in need of a responsible and reliable sitter. She is incredibly organized, punctual, and such a wonderful communicator! With a professional history in supervising animals, she provides an exceptional level of care and attention to all of our fuzzy friends. Every time she has worked with us they are absolutely thrilled to see her!
