Safety, trust & environment

I care for each pet as if they were my own. Whether it be through walks, play time in a yard, puzzle toys, or good old quality time on the couch, I do my best to fulfill all of the mental, physical, and emotional needs your pet has while in my care. I also love taking pictures so you'll surely get some photos of your pet having a great time while you're away.

Information Jennifer C. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting or walking your dog, I would like to know: - Age - Gender - Primary breed/mix of breeds - Size/weight (estimates are fine) - Any allergies - medical conditions - medications I'll be responsible for giving while caring for your pets - Behavior issues (guarding toys, food, etc.) - Energy level - Any toys, treats, places they like to walk - Things you would like me to work with them on (potty training, basic obedience, etc.) - Anything else you feel I need to know about before working with them Any or all of the information provided will help me create a more pawsitive experience for both you and your dog!

A typical day

I am willing to walk your dog around your neighborhood, a nearby park, or anywhere you think they would like to visit. I can also play fetch in a fenced in backyard, provide cuddle time for the less active dog, offer enrichment activities to tire out both their mind and body, and even work on some basic obedience with them. Potty breaks, feeding, and exercise are done on you and your dog's schedule!

Pet care experience

Hi there, my name is Jen! I am a professional, part time veterinary assistant and a full time pet lover with tons of experience and a passion for helping and caring for animals. I have 8 years of experience as a member for one of Somerset county's 4H dog clubs as well as a further 9 years of being a leader/trainer for the same club. I have also worked for St. Hubert's Animal Welfare center and Madison Animal Hospital as an animal care attendant/small and exotic animal specialist and veterinary assistant for the last 5 years. On top of that, I am a volunteer trainer with My Dog's Got Class day training school in Bridgewater and a volunteer foster mom for cats from the Mt. Pleasant, Somerset County, and CAPIC animal shelters. If you're looking for an outgoing, compassionate, reliable, and experienced caretaker, I'm your go-to gal!
