Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs and Kitties are my BFFs!!
Humble brag incoming: I'm a dog's kinda person. I just vibe with them and we are often drawn to each other when I'm out walking around Los Angeles. I will hear a dog parent say things like "My dog never likes other people." or a dog will spot me from afar and refuse to move until I say Hello. It's happened so often, that I'm convinced I was a dog in a past life. Truly, there is no feeling better then building a connection with a dog; When they are excited to see you, there is no better positive affirmation. I've had dogs since my teen years in the 90s and cats since I left for college in the 2000s. I love getting to know cats and earning their trust. Im always hopeful for a head butt, but I respect their boundaries always. I'm looking forward to meeting your dogs and cats. Tell em I said Hi.

Safety, trust & environment
I will come to your home to care for your animals in their home environment. First, I will always be a calming, kind presence to your fur baby. Second, I enjoy getting to give them a lil workout. Dogs need that movement to feel normal and I love being there for it! You tell me if the walk should be brief and in the neighborhood or if your dog likes to hike, I offer that, too. Panting dogs after a walk are my favorite. As for kitties, I Approach With Caution and as a roommate to a feline myself, I know some will take a minute to let their guard down. I know how to read body language of animals and I take every step possible to make sure they are at ease, well fed and cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Jennifer has proven a trusted, gentle, and invaluable part of our dog Evelyn's life. Conscientious! Fun! Patient! In addition to day walks, we've taken both short and long trips, calling on Jennifer repeatedly to care for Evelyn. As eager as Evelyn is to see us upon return, she's equally bummed to see Jennifer leave. Hire Jennifer confidently and immediately!!
Jennifer is an amazing animal whisperer. She has cared for my dog that was with me for 17 years and he was one of her favorite people. He loved her to the point I had to tell myself not to be jealous, it was infuriatingly...cute. She now is the latest obsession of my two new (now 5years old- time flies, but forever pups in my eyes) chihuahuas. I recommend and trust Jennifer with my pets and I rarely trust anyone so that's saying a lot. I give Jennifer 5 Stars or 5 Paws, or whatever is top notch for the rating system on this app.
I've trusted Jennifer with my dogs since the early 2000s in Hollywood. Over the years she's cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities—from high-energy pups to the occasional spicy one—and she's always handled them with patience, love, and confidence. She's practically family to my dogs. Whenever she stays overnight, I have complete peace of mind knowing they're being treated like they're her own. Her communication is exceptional—she sends thoughtful photo updates twice a day and would never hesitate to contact you immediately if there were ever an emergency. The biggest proof of all? My dogs genuinely miss her every time she leaves. I can't recommend Jennifer highly enough to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable sitter.
As Jennifer's mother, I can truly say that few people love animals more than she does. She has been watching neighborhood pets and walking dogs since she was seven years old. For example, when our neighbor had to travel, she took excellent care of her German Shepherd by feeding him, walking him, playing with him, and administering his necessary medication. She is always everyone's first choice for pet care. She is incredibly kind, reliable, and trustworthy, and pets absolutely love her!

Schedule
I'm available to watch your fur babies anytime. Check with me if you need anyone for an early walk for your pup or an evening visit to feed your cat if you can't make it home. My kitty roommate is self-sufficient at home, so staying with your pet overnight is very doable.
