Jennifer can care for
Availability
I work locally and mostly remotely but have to go into the office every now and again. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I'm able to adapt my work day to keep to a pets routine. I'm fit and healthy and enjoy being outdoors so getting out for walks and exercise with a pet is no problem, and I have plenty of time for feeding, cleaning and play time!

About Jennifer C.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide pet-centred care. I like lots of details from a pet owner on their pet's routines and preferences so that I can try to make sure your pet experiences as little disruption as possible so they feel happy and comfortable with me, and this seems to have worked really well in the past! I'm by no means an expert behaviourist but I think I have a decent grasp of the ways pets communicate and can usually work out what they want/need at the time! I understand that simply not having their owner/parent around can be inherently stressful for some pets, so I do like to stick to established routines where possible and add in extra fun stuff - whether that's a drive or walk to somewhere new for new sights and smells, a trip to pets at home to get a new toy, or a good play session at home! I'll keep in regular contact with you, providing updates, asking questions if I need to, and sending pictures so you know your pet is happy and in good hands!
Information Jennifer C. would like to know about your pet
- what is your pets normal routine? - where do they go to the toilet (garden? On walks?) - what is their diet like? Are they allowed treats? Do they have any allergies? - what's their favourite game/toy/walk? - where do they sleep? - how do they feel about other animals? - do they require any medication? - who is their vet? - is there a friend or family member nearby who I should contact in case of an emergency? - anything else you'd like me to do or I need to know.
A typical day
A typical day with me would be as close to your pets normal daily routine as possible, with a bit of added attention and entertainment so that they don't miss you quite so much. I like to take dogs on little adventures, to the beach or a park, or somewhere a bit further afield depending on their needs and your preferences.

Pet care experience
I'd like to just be clear that I am located in Askam in Furness, but due to the way I have set my service radius, I appear to live in Windermere. I am still happy to travel for overnight sits, but can only manage drop ins and walks near to Askam in Furness. I've provided lots of care for pets (mainly dogs, cats, rabbits and fish) of friends and family over the years from the odd walk to overnight house sits and have my own 12 year old cat at home. I've been sitting on Rover off and on for a couple of years now. I'm caring, patient and attentive and like plenty of information about your pet before a sit so that I can provide the best care for them. I enjoy being outside and like to spend free time exploring to new places, swimming or paddle boarding.
Reviews
Jennifer looked after our boy Ralph for the week while we were on holiday. He was well looked after and loved and cared for. The house was cleaner then when we left. Jennifer also went above and beyond to look after our fish and rodent. She also stayed with Ralph extra on the last day as our flight was delayed. I definitely would recommend Jennifer and will be booking her again in the future. Ralph had the best time. Ralph is missing Jennifer already.
Jenny looked after Baloo again while I was away. She got on well with my husband, who was still at home but busy at work, hence needing a sitter. Baloo loved Jenny and her cuddles, and was very content with her when I returned. Jenny took really good care of Baloo again and engaged him in stimulating games and walks. She had the measure of the Berner stubbornness too! Jenny was very respectful of our home and left everything in great conditions. I highly recommend Jenny as a dog sitter and would be delighted to use her services again.
Jenny was a super sitter. We did a meet and greet before she looked after Baloo and so we felt confident by the time the stay started that he'd be well treated. Jenny was keen to understand and follow any normal routines and preferences and Baloo enjoyed her cuddles and care. She kept us in touch with how she and Baloo were getting on during the stay, and sent some lovely photos. Jenny was incredibly respectful of our home and it was cleaner when we returned than when we left! I recommend Jenny as a trustworthy and lovely sitter, and will certainly ask her to sit Baloo again. Thank you, Jenny.
I booked Jennifer to cat sit while I was away and she was amazing! I got lovely updates complete with pictures for each drop in and lots of communication throughout the weekend. Absolutely recommend booking Jennifer if you need a cat sitter!
