Experienced Pet Care Professional

Hi there! I’m a dedicated pet sitter with over 15 years of experience in pet care, including pet sitting, dog training, and veterinary assistance. As a lifelong animal lover and current science teacher, I bring both knowledge and compassion to every pet I care for. I have experience working as a kennel technician at a doggy daycare, assisting with grooming (baths, ear cleaning, nail trimming) and in-home training. I’ve also volunteered with the Humane Society, providing hands-on care for rescues. With over 70 glowing reviews and a 4.9-star rating, I take pride in creating a safe, loving, and enriching experience for your pets while you’re away. At home, I have three beloved cats and a senior dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to find a reliable, caring sitter. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, training reinforcement, or extra cuddles, I’m happy to customize my care to meet their needs. Let’s chat and see how I can help keep your furry family happy and comfortable while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. With over 15 years of experience in pet sitting, dog training, and veterinary assistance, I understand the importance of maintaining an stress-free environment while you’re away. • Respect & Cleanliness: I treat your home with the utmost care and respect, ensuring a clean and tidy space while keeping your pet’s routine consistent. • Safety First: I closely follow any feeding, medication, and safety instructions you provide. I also stay vigilant about securing doors, gates, and any hazards to prevent accidents. • Personalized Care: Whether your pet needs extra cuddle time, structured play, or calm reassurance, I tailor my care to their unique personality and comfort level. • Regular Updates: I provide frequent photo and message updates so you can feel at ease, knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. • Emergency Preparedness: With my veterinary experience, I can recognize signs of distress or illness quickly and take appropriate action if needed. I aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible, both for you and your pet. Let me know if you have any special requests—I’m happy to accommodate!

This is my first time using a sitter on Rover and I am beyond happy with Jennifer. She went above and beyond with my pets, even with the difficulties of having an older dog. I was able to enjoy my trip without any worries or concerns.

Excellent drop in care for our cats while we were away! Jennifer was a fantastic communicator, giving us detailed reports and eliminating stress for us. Our cats bonded with her quickly and were healthy and happy upon our return.

To provide the best care possible, I’d love to learn about your pet’s unique needs, preferences, and daily routine before our booking. Here are a few key details that help me tailor my care: ? Personality & Temperament: Is your pet shy, playful, high-energy, or independent? Do they have any quirks or favorite activities? ?️ Diet & Feeding Schedule: Any specific meal times, portion sizes, or dietary restrictions I should follow? ? Medical Needs: Does your pet take medications or have any health conditions I should be aware of? ?‍♂️ Exercise & Activity Levels: How much daily exercise or playtime do they need? Any leash manners or off-leash preferences? ? Behavior & Training: Are there any training cues, habits, or behaviors I should reinforce? Do they experience separation anxiety or have triggers (loud noises, other animals, etc.)? ? Home & Safety Preferences: Any house rules I should follow (no furniture, crating at night, specific potty routines)? ? Socialization: How does your pet react to new people, other pets, or unfamiliar environments? Providing these details helps me create a stress-free, positive experience for your pet while you’re away. Feel free to share any additional requests or special instructions—I’m happy to accommodate!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
