I am open to weekend only care, or weekday care if the situation aligns with my working hours (At time when I have house sit there has been a separate midday walker!)

Safety, trust & environment

I am comfortable following the rules and routines pet owners follow in their home to ensure all animals are their most comfortable selves, I believe in leaving a space better than it is found and minimizing stress for animals.

Information Jenna S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences, and understand different breeds may come with different considerations. I would like to always know in advance the baseline personality of an animal, if they are reactive towards anything, and if there are any special considerations in regards to type of play, feeding, medication, socialization, etc.

A typical day

Activities can vary based on age and energy but I really enjoy taking dogs out on "fieldtrips" to trails or parks if its something they enjoy. Otherwise, multiple walks around the neighborhood is just fine. Going through training commands/exercises, playing "hide and seek" the treat, or just enjoying each other's company are all things I do. Brushing too!

Friend of all

Pet care experience

Growing up there were always dogs and cats in the house and I often went to dog training sessions with my mom. I grew up as an equestrian so I am very comfortable around large animals! In adolescence I dog walked and house sat for both cats and dogs and often helped farm sit as well. As an adult I have worked as a veterinary assistant which got me accustomed to handling a variety of personalities and breeds of dogs, all at varying states of stress. (cats too!) I was often responsible for monitoring behavior and health signs, in addition to direct handling and providing medical care or assistance. That being said, I am comfortable with providing medical care if needed! I have recently house sat and cared for both dogs and cats. I really do love all critters!

Jenna is amazing! She took such great care of our 3 dogs and even taught them new tricks! She is extremely communicative and sent us photos and videos often. She left our house spotless and even watered my plants for me. She is now our go to person!
