Availability
Working for myself at home allows me to be flexible. Getting to take breaks with animals is the best way to take a break...wouldn’t you agree?

Safety, trust & environment
My backyard is completely fenced in, wildly overgrown, and backs up to wetlands with many types of critters which provides lots of smells and interesting places for dogs to explore.
Information Jennifer C. would like to know about your pet
For dogs: I am partial to herding and working breeds, and high-energy breeds, although almost any breed, especially mixed breeds, are great. From past experiences, I do steer away from chows, akitas and any dog (regardless of breed) with which I've had bad experiences. Do you give treats? If yes, how many and what kind? Do they walk/run well on a leash? How old are they? Are they up to date on all required shots — DAPP/DHPP, rabies, bordetella, canine flu? Does she/he have any health issues or physical limitations? How many times a day do they need activity? What kind of activity(-ies) are they used to? Where is their favorite place to be scratched? For cats: Are they strictly indoor, or do they sometimes go outside with supervision? Are they up-to-date on all shots — feline leukemia, DPP, bordetella? Do they like to play, or do they simply like to look out the window from their favorite perch? Do they have a favorite toy(s)? Do they use a litter box?
A typical day
If your dog comes to my house, I live in a walk-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks throughout. I am a runner, so if you have a high-energy fur baby, and they do well on a leash, I can make sure they get the activity they need. If they love to run after balls and toys, I have a great fenced-in backyard for that.

Pet care experience
Your pet is a part of your family and you need to be confident that they will be as comfortable as possible while you’re away from them. Your four-legged family member(s) will be cared for just as you would care for them. I’m mindful of the rules of your house and neighborhood, and will water your plants and check your mail (if needed). Is your dog super active? Great! As an avid runner, I can keep up with your active dog or puppy. Have a senior dog? I have personal experience with senior dogs, which means I’m sensitive to the limitations of older pets. In the years I’ve been petsitting and housesitting in the Columbia and Lexington areas, I’ve also been known to care for hamsters, fish, birds, rats, lizards and snakes. I draw the line at spiders 🕷 — nope, no way, no thanks. Long story short, my sole purpose is to make your pets comfortable and give peace of mind to you so you can better enjoy your time away. That's all anyone wants, right? 😁🐾

Reviews
Jenn is absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of our two dogs while we were away on vacation. She sent the cutest pictures everyday that we were gone, and we really appreciated how communicative she was. Our pups liked her right away, and it was clear she gave them a lot of attention while we were gone. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sweet and reliable sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking her again!
The photos that Jennifer sent belong on an ad campaign for Rover. My little guy looked like he was having a blast. He doesn't get too many visitors so he was a little apprehensive at first, but Jennifer did a great job getting him to relax and it sounds like they had a great time.
Jennifer takes the best care of our little, old lady dog! We are so thankful for her help!
Jennifer is wonderful with our little old lady dog!!
