Pet care experience

Caring for Yours as if They’re Ours

I grew up with a menagerie of pets my whole life. From hamsters to fish, geckos to non-venomous snakes and of course cats and dogs; I've lived with and cared for them all. I chose cats as my personal companions for over 20 years because they were easier to care for in my small NYC apartment especially with my busy work schedule. Now that I live a slower paced life in Delaware and have more space, my husband John and I would love to have more pets however our cat Frankie prefers to be an only child. Since we can't expand our furry family, let us help care for yours. Throughout the years, I've had to learn how to give insulin and antibiotic shots as well as oral pills, liquid meds and enemas so I am well equipped to handle most if not all of your pets medical needs. Our cat Frankie has mega colon so John is also skilled at providing oral pills and liquid medications. He has also become quite creative with how to administer the medication for the days when Frankie decides he doesn’t want to take his pills in a treat.

This was our second time booking with Jennifer, and once again she was wonderful. We have two cats, including one with diabetes who requires blood glucose monitoring and insulin injections, so finding someone we completely trust is incredibly important. She handled their care with confidence, kept us updated with messages and photos, and gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for cats and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommended!

Jennifer did an amazing job taking care of our elderly girl for an extended period of time. She kept us up to speed every visit with details about the visit and photos. We did not have to be concerned at all as we truly knew she was taking wonderful care of our dog. Jennifer went above and beyond helping us while she was at the house so we could relax and enjoy our trip. 10 out of 10 Highly recommend
