Pet care experience
Hi, I am Jenni! I am a kiwi living in Vancouver, who loves dogs and has always had them around. I grew up on a farm in NZ so have experience looking after a variety of animals. Over the past year, I have frequently looked after a very senior Shiba Inu. I now live in an apartment and work primarily from home so I have the time and space to take dogs for walks or day sit them at mine. I live with another Kiwi, Laura, who is also an avid dog lover and experienced dog sitter. She also has grown up with dogs but works during the week so would only co-foster parent your dog if it stayed overnight or on the weekend. I'd love to own a dog again myself but I travel sporadically for work and I don't know how long I will be living here. I have a lot of energy and would be happy to take your dog outside frequently throughout the day if I am looking after it.
Reviews
Jenni was able to help us out with short notice. Handy, our dog, seemed comfortable and happy upon first meeting Jenni. He was in great spirits when we picked him up and seemed like he enjoyed his day. We are visiting and I'm grateful Jenni could help us out.
Jenni was great to work with, very flexible with drop off/pickup times, especially given the very short notice she had! Seems to have a genuine love for dogs. I would definitely use her services again.

Information Jenni H. would like to know about your pet
Before dog sitting I would want to know a few things about your dog, for example, 1) how comfortable it is with strangers (ie. if people want to pat it when I am out walking it, whether it will be ok); 2) whether it is on any medication or has medical conditions that mean it will require special treatment; 3) does it get nervous about anything, eg. weather, strangers, other dogs; 4) is it potty trained. I have a slight bias towards spaniels because I miss my dog back home, but I really love all breeds.
A typical day
I love dog walking! I live in coal harbour near Stanley park so there is lots of space for dog walking. I spend my weekends usually hiking, so if your dog is up for it and I am doing a dog-friendly hike I'd happily bring it along.
