Healer & Communicator

Thank you for creating the time and attention to read about my services before you propose a booking with me; as I do charge for each animal in my loving care.😊 Due to my history of communicating with and caring for a wide array of domestic & farm animals, they tend to have immediate comfort with me. With over a 40 year diverse, holistic & professional background (massage therapy, medical medium, nutrition, Bowen Therapy) for treating people towards their own healing; I also found it only made sense to get trained to administer massage therapy (small animals and equine) & The Bowen Technique (respected as a medical modality in most countries; that originated out of Australia) for small animals. After traveling to many client’s homes to give them massage treatments, over the many years, their animals would get their turn first before the people. I only found it made sense to get licensed & certified in a modality of healing that is respected & highly valued at the dog shows for attaining “Best In Show”. All animals need healing, too and especially since they don't speak any human language to communicate their needs, it keeps them well. I offer a patient, compassionate, in-tune, special, kind, unique and personal touch to the relationship with your animals and you. Overnight at your home: I create a seamless experience in caring for your pet’s routine needs, helping them get exercise and have fun with them while doing it. *I add the bonuses of Bowen Therapy, massage, brushing their fur, singing and talking to them as needed. *cleaning up after myself and your animals and gently caring for your home (picking up mail, etc) as, if it’s my own sacred space. *I have amazed & delighted my clients with organic flowers and produce from my organic farm or the local farmer’s market & all laundry completed (that your animal & I used) for when the time aligned. Your home will be very clean & welcoming for your arrival back home. 😊 I go “above and beyond” in my services. Thank you for making it efficient, for the whole process, to have specificity & transparency of your needs & every animal on your profile that you need care for. I greatly appreciate details, as they are important for me to give the specific & individualized care for that they & you deserve. This is win -win - win for all involved. To the success of the best overnights for all involved.

Safety, trust & environment

With the focus being on your animals calm, healthy, peaceful & fun experience: I care for your pets in your home. It’s best that they are in their comfortable space with scents of you around & the routine that works best for them. For a number of reasons, I do not take them to dog parks, for the time that they are in my care. It’s imperative that your backyard is secure for when they are “off leash”. I lean to a more conservative approach to other animals and people while your animals enjoy their play time and outdoor time. Your animals & home will be well cared for & your home will energetically & physically be clean & welcoming for your arrival back to your home.

Jennifer took on a 1.5 year old Lab puppy, an old grumpy Chihuahua mix and a homicidal cat. She rocked it - all the animals loved her patience and attention (they told me) AND she does animal massage too! We are more than thrilled with Jennifer and hope she is willing to sit for us again!

Jennifer is the sweetest caretaker! I’m so grateful I found her over a holiday. My pup is extra sensitive and Jennifer went above and beyond making her comfortable and even treated her to Bowen therapy. Thank you Jennifer for being the kind soul that you are!

Jennifer was so wonderful with our Harry. We were so apprehensive about leaving him for our European vacation for 10 days, but right from the start we received updates and pictures of how he was doing. She was so very patient and kind with him, taking him for walks on a regular basis, and attending to his needs for reassurance. We would not have enjoyed our trip if not for Jennifer's care of our Harry. She also took care of the house and left it clean as when we left it. Would definitely recommend Jennifer to anyone and plan to call upon her services in the future.

Jennifer was AMAZING to have as Bella's dog sitter. She left the house completely clean and vacuumed, updated me every day with pictures and stories about Bella and was very easy to coordinate with. After being in her care, all of a sudden Bella understands playing with a ball! Bella was extremely well cared for. Thanks Jennifer!

Jen is so good to our pup when we are out of town. She does an excellent job caring for the house and is always in good communication. We plan on using her over and over for trips shot and long!
