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.

Ratings and reviews
Exceptional Care for Two Special-Needs Cats Jennifer provided outstanding care for our two cats during a three-day trip, and we couldn’t be more grateful. One of our cats is diabetic and requires glucose monitoring along with insulin injections twice daily. Our other cat has chronic kidney disease, so careful observation of food and water intake, litter box habits, and overall behavior is extremely important. Jennifer handled every aspect of their care with professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine compassion. She kept us informed with regular updates, closely monitored both cats, and quickly noticed even subtle changes in their routines and behaviors. It was clear that she treated our pets as if they were her own. Knowing that our diabetic cat was receiving accurate glucose readings and insulin injections on schedule gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Caring for senior cats with medical needs requires experience, reliability, and dedication, and Jennifer exceeded our expectations in every way. We returned home to two happy, healthy, and well-cared-for cats. We highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate pet sitter, especially for pets with medical conditions. We will absolutely be booking with her again. — Valerie & Family 🐾
Jennifer is absolutely phenomenal. She is a natural caretaker and all around great person. She is reliable, professional, kind, caring, accommodating and trustworthy to say the least. She has consistently provided exceptional care to our 17 and 14 year old pups frequently for 10-12 hour days. She has a sunny personality and lights up the room. We are grateful to have found her and to know our babies are in great hands when we can’t be home.
We had a great experience with our dog sitter, Jen! She took wonderful care of Baylee overnight, kept us updated, and made sure she was comfortable and happy the whole time. It gave us real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her!
Jen was great. Arrived on time, took great care of our two boys and sent us pictures and updates letting us know how everything was going. Took great care of the house.
I would give Jennifer a 10 star if possible. The weather has been very challenging but she made it here to take care of my outdoor cats Spirit and Ghost. I truly appreciate her commitment & compassion.
I cannot say enough about Jennifer. She is realizable, detail oriented, caring and kind. She has always come through for us and accommodated last minute schedule changes. She is naturally upbeat and friendly. She has stayed with our senior pups for up to 12 hours at a time. At age 17 1/2 and 14, knowing they are safe in Jennifer’s care is so comforting. She is truly a God-send.
