Pet care experience
Reliable and Compassionate Care
I have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I’ve been the reliable friend people turn to when they’re away. Some of the routines look like: stopping in to feed pets, provide fresh water, clean up, and offer enrichment and play, and companionship so they feel comfortable and not alone. I also have experience house sitting and staying overnight for up to four nights, making sure pets feel safe, settled, and cared for in their own environment. I’ve been around animals since I was about 10 years old, including golden retrievers, labs, and cats, and I often ask to say hello when I see a furry friend out and about. I welcome different temperaments and adjust myself to meet them where they’re comfortable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and aim to provide calm, attentive, and loving care so fur babies feel secure, seen, and cared for while their best friend is away.

Pets
Safety, trust & environment
The goal is calm, consistency, and reading pet cues. 1. Follow their routine exactly Pets feel safest with predictability. Feed at the same times Use the same food amounts and bowls Keep walks/playtime similar to what they’re used to Even small changes can make sensitive pets anxious. 2. Do a careful first check-in When I arrive: I look for water level, food, accidents, or damage I observe their behavior (hiding, excited, nervous, clingy) I let them come to me rather than forcing interaction. 3. I arrive with a calm presence Many pets don’t need constant stimulation, they need steady companionship. I prefer to sit quietly near them, talk softly and let shy pets approach me on their terms 4. Exercise + enrichment (tailored to each pet) Dogs: walks, sniff time, fetch (if they enjoy it) Cats: wand toys, gentle play, window time I may suggest to keep sessions short if they get overstimulated 5. I like to help keep the home clean and safe by scooping litter boxes daily (sometimes twice per day), pick up wrappers or food items immediately, wipe paws if needed after walks, and keep doors locked and secure at all times 6. Respect their boundaries This is a big one for trust: I try not to force picking up or petting and watch for signs like tail flicking, hiding, freezing, or overstimulation. I let them decompress alone if needed. 7. I love the saying, “Leave things better than you found them” My fur friends owners say they appreciate: Clean bowls and litter areas, a tidy feeding/walking area, and the notes about how they did during the visit 8. I communicate clearly Send updates like: “Fed, walked, and doing well,” Photos (if allowed) and any changes in behavior or appetite
Ratings and reviews
Jenna was able to watch our pup Zoey while we were away for the weekend. She did a marvelous job and had such detailed notes for us. Amazing! So appreciated her willingness to work on some training. Zoey was very happy! Would definitely recommend.
Jenna has always been an animal lover. She pays a lot of attention to what a pet needs. She loves to read about their habits and what makes them happy and healthy. She spends her time loving and caring for her pets daily. She is a very responsible pet owner.
Jenna is an amazingly thoughtful, respectful, punctual, and responsible pet sitter. She took care of my cat for 2 weeks with the best care possible. I gave complex instructions and Jenna followed them perfectly, giving me updates daily on his health, eating and playing habits, cleaning litter, bringing extra toys, and even sent pics and videos daily! I could not have asked for a better cat-sitter during my vacation and I had complete peace of mind with no worries. I will definitely be asking Jenna to cat-sit in the future!
Jenna and I welcomed a 3 month old kitten into our home about a year ago. During this time, I witnessed first hand the immense dedication and thoughtfulness with which she has cared for our kitten. Everything from clipping his nails, training him to do tricks, feeding him thrice a day on schedule and most importantly ensuring that he gets all the enrichment he deserves. She takes a keen interest in our kitten’s health staying on top of vet appointments, insurance and the occasional eye drops during summer.
Jenna is absolutely amazing with pets! She takes the best care of her kitten and I can see how happy the both of them are. I have personally seen how attentive and patient she is when it comes to making sure pets are feeling comfortable and safe while their owner is away. Jenna is dependable, great with communication, and is so loving. I have trusted her with my pup before and would do it again!
