Highlights
Pet care experience
Fur, feathers, scales I do them all
Cat holiday rate: Rover only shows the dog rate by default. My holiday rate for a drop-in visit for one cat is $29. Highlights: - Worked with lots of animals at kennels, zoos, DNR, and wildlife rehab so far in my career - Use positive reinforcement training to train dogs, birds, and even turtles - Use enrichment for every animal I own or work with The long version: To say I love animals would be putting it mildly. I got my first pet, a cat, when I was 8. I’ve had a least one pet ever since. Currently, I have a 2 dogs, cat, rabbit, and 5 chickens. I also have experience with other small animals (hamsters, ferrets, guinea pigs), lizards, turtles, salamanders, and fish. It doesn’t matter what kind of pet you have, I will make sure it feels safe and loved while in my care. I’ve worked in wildlife rehab, zoos and dog kennels, so I have experience with giving oral meds and shots and following special diets, as well as taking care of older animals. I’ve also done animal training using clickers and positive reinforcement. I hold a bachelor’s degree in wildlife ecology specializing in wildlife care. Your pet is in good hands! I strongly believe in the value of enrichment, especially when pets are home alone. Giving them something to do helps the day pass more quickly for our pets and gives them natural outlets for what could otherwise become destructive behaviors. Puzzle toys, chew toys, foraging opportunities, and new (safe) treats are all things I use regularly with my own pets.

Safety, trust & environment
When I come for a visit, there will be lots of playing and head scratches / belly rubs (if your pet is into that kind of thing). For dogs, we’ll go out to your yard or head out for a walk if you don’t have a fenced-in yard. After that I will take care of feeding and other chores, followed by more play time or cuddles as time allows. My goal when I leave is for your pet(s) to be happily napping, worn out and feeling loved.
Ratings and reviews
Jenni is the best! She takes wonderful care of our girl Stella. She keeps an eye on our house as well, alerting me that my refrigerator was acting up. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Thank you again for being so flexible!
Jenni is a Rockstar! I am so grateful to have her in my life. She is my cat Stella’s favorite friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you to Jenni! My schedule was changing daily as I needed to be out of town for family emergencies. Jenni was so flexible and helped me with my Stella cat.
Jenni has looked after our fur baby many times now. She keeps in touch regularly and our Stella has really bonded with her.
Jenni was absolutely wonderful! I was looking for someone last minute to watch my two kittens as my family was headed out of town and she did an amazing job with them both. I was able to rest well knowing they were in good hands and were being treated like family. Jenni took the time to meet me and the cats before she took charge for the weekend, and I couldn’t be more thankful.

Schedule
I have a full-time job Monday-Friday, so during the week I can come after I get off work. My work day usually ends between 3:30 and 4. If it’s right after work, I may need to bring my 11 year old daughter along with me. I take my last booking at 6:30 pm. I may be able to accommodate bookings outside of these hours before and after work. However I need to have them set up and confirmed (including having a meet & greet for new clients) at least 14 days in advance so I have time to adjust my schedule.
