Availability

I don't have a standard 9 to 5 job... I do a mixture of things that give me a more flexible lifestyle... being a qualified personal trainer to teaching yoga & sewing, doing sewing alterations & made to measure seamstress projects, promotions & acting work.... giving me the freedom to work from home when I like & to be available for my furry companions.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a bungalow & have a large expanse of lawned garden backing onto a stream (in addition to living near several parks) so four legged visitors can have plenty of fresh air & exercise. I request that all my boarders have up-to-date flea treatment ( this is vital for the health & comfort of your animal as well as other pets & myself) & are fully house & toilet trained (not puppy pads) so that there are no bad feelings due to damages or neighbours being disturbed by excessive pet noises. I am happy to pet sit as well as have animals board in my own home but please bear in mind i will need to pop out not only to food shop but also to see my other work clients so pets must be able to be left for short periods if you choose me to sit. In addition my partner, Clayton, also loves animals and is often on hand to help out (as he too is a personal trainer), so effectively you get two pairs of hands for the price of one (this is particularly useful when you have more than one pet that needs attention, or walking, at the same time, and also allows us to fill in for each other when needs arise).

Information Jennie H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there is anything in particular your furry family member likes or needs, or anything they find difficult or worrying & whether they are ok to be let off the lead in public parks. I would ask that generally meet & greets are arranged locally to myself in St.Albans & where that is not possible that my time & travel are compensated for (simply that otherwise it can cut into the time I have for those already booked). Please feel free to bring any special toys or other things that you feel will make your pet feel at home during their stay... although attention & fussing comes as standard.

A typical day

There is no typical day for me & my four legged visitors... it very much depends on the individual boarder as to whether they prefer more exercise, with walks in the park or games in the garden, or more creature comforts, with warmth, companionship & fussing at home.

Personal trainer & seamstress who loves animals

Pet care experience

I've had pets since I was young. I had a period of not bring able to have animals, due to my partner being allergic, but now I am enjoying having furry companions once more. My past pets have been rescues- my longest term cat needed regular bathing, grooming & medication so I am used to administering to pets. I've looked after dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, hamsters, a tortoise... and treat my friends pets as I would my own.

Jennie is so good with my pets. We are in the middle of moving and the house is chaotic as a result the pets have been stressed. Jennie watched my dog and cat for a week and they were so calm and happy when I picked them up. I have a very large dog and she knows how to manage him. I would definitely recommend her to someone looking for a pet sitter.

Can’t recommend Jennie enough, she looked after both my cats so well whilst I was on holiday! I got an update including photos everyday which put me right at ease, she made sure they were fussed and well cared for everyday!

Jennie was absolutely wonderful! She took fantastic care of our cat and provided excellent communication throughout the entire stay. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while I was away. She is reliable, professional, and clearly a natural with animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again—highly recommended!
