If the dog is having fun, so am I
Pet care experience
Hi, My name is Jennifer. I am currently a Junior in college on the pre-veterinary track. Due to my interests, I am looking to spend time with animals during my free time. I have plenty of past experience. Currently, I have a lovely but jealous 10 year old chihuahua and and hyperactive 1 yr old Shiba mix back in my hometown, Chicago. Here, I take care of my boyfriend’s dog, a gentle and high energy 5 month pup who we believe is an American Terrier mix. I’ve had so much fun caring for and training all of them. They know how to do their business outside, give a high five/paw, handshake, sit and stay. In the past I have volunteered as a dog walker and done animal care and medical internships with PAWS Chicago and The Humane Society. This past summer, I walked dogs during my free time through an app. called Wag and I had so much fun. Unfortunately, it’s not available in Champaign. Overall, I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, ages and temperaments. Throughout my experience I have developed good husbandry and handling skills that can assure the health and happiness of your pets. I am very patient and willing to play with and teach your pet some tricks. If my dreams come true, I will become a veterinarian to further care for your adorable furry friends!
Reviews
Jennifer is wonderful with Memphis. Memphis immediately opened up to her. She absolutely loves her time with Jennifer. Jennifer is reliable, capable, flexible, quick to respond, and is someone I actually let Memphis be with, outside our family.
Jennifer not only was able to work with me on short notice, even same day! I included a meet and greet, but Jennifer and my pup, Memphis, hit it off. She has the touch that animals love. Memphis was so glad to meet a new friend. We will be contacting Jennifer again for her services. Jennifer is great! She is very easy-going, was able to follow instructions for Memphis that included post-operative care tips for Physical Therapy. I was highly impressed. I have been looking to replace two of our 3 regulars because they were moving. Jennifer is now one of our repeat sitters. All from one service day. I trust her with my fur baby, dogter, angel puppy again. Granted I was home, so I really did get to see what quality service Jennifer provided.

I have a really sweet pittie who does well with senior dogs, puppies, and cats. I have a crate in my house and multiple rooms to give everyone their space as needed.
Information Jennifer C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if they have any triggers such as squirrels or other dogs. I would like to know if they have any allergies (for treat purposes!) health, or behavioral concerns so that I can provide appropriate care. Overall, it is always nice to get a glimpse of the character of your four legged friend so that I come prepared with whatever they might need to keep them entertained while you are away.
A typical day
If there is a park nearby, I am always willing to take them. If the dog is good around other dogs I can always take them to a dog park, of course with the permission of the owner. I always love a good game of fetch and tug of war. Also if there is any way that I can help with training of the dog/cat simply let me know! I’d be more than happy to help.
