Highlights
Pet care experience
Personal trainer & seamstress who loves animals
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.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Jennie is always amazing with our pets and our home. She truly cares about the dogs like they’re her own.
Jennie always looks after our cat Luna wonderfully, keeping us up to date while we are away and making sure Luna has everything she needs! Would heartily recommend Jennie to anyone looking for a pet sitter.
Jennie was brilliant with our dog. He seemed really happy when we collected him and she kept us updated with photos and videos which we really appreciated. Would definitely use her again.
Thanks again for your care of Luna and Milo and for keeping us updated during your stay.
Jennie always takes such good care of our dogs and our house! I never worry when we’re away because I know everything is in good hands.
We were away for a week, and Jen took care of our very shy, anxious cats who hide from just about everyone. Muffin became particularly comfortable around Jen, and even accepted some much-needed fuss - that was a lovely surprise! Luna might need a bit more time, but I’m confident Jen will win her over when we’re next away. Thanks Jen!

Schedule
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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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).
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.
