Information Jennifer C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about the temperament of your furry friend. It would help to know whether they would nip at a new person. What do they like to do to relax.

A typical day

I can take them for walks along the Trans Canada Trail which is directly behind my house. I play with dog toys with them in a backyard. Go Fetch, Tug, Hide and Seek are always favourites. Meals and rest time are also important aspects of the day.

Location

Jennifer C.'s Neighborhood

I value my love of family, and pets

Pet care experience

I am mature with many years of experience caring for animals in various capacities. I enjoy being like a mother to them yet playful as needed. They are simply a joy to me. I have taken puppy training and was at the graduation of my now 5 year old grandwoof!

We were so happy to have Jennifer stay with us and watch over our dog. It was so nice to go away and feel that our dog was in good hands! We also loved getting updates and pictures on how our dog was doing! We will definitely have Jennifer back to watch over our dog Thank you again Jennifer!

We’re so happy with Jennifer with the way she took care of Bella for two weeks. She exhibited compassion and empathy with our fourteen year old that had some special needs. With her attention to detail, we highly recommend Jennifer.

Jennifer is and exceptional home and pet sitter. After a week away, our home was just as we left it. Our dogs were well loved and cared for. Jennifer was great at giving updates and she sent us lots of pictures while we were away. She followed all our care directions for the dogs. She is an excellent communicator, is kind and I would highly recommend her.

We’ve had an great experience with our Jennifer. She is reliable and clearly love what they do. Aspen is happy and well-exercised after every walk. Communication is great, with helpful updates and photos that give peace of mind. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in caring and capable hands—highly recommend!
