Fun Times & Pawsitive Experiences!

*JUST RELOCATED TO PORTLAND FROM TEXAS! AND SO EXCITED TO BE HERE!* I have been working in the Veterinary Field for about 10 years and have 2 years of experience working in a doggie daycare before that. I am well equipped to notice any signs of distress and to be able to handle dogs and kitties of any size or demeanor! I take the time to earn you and your pet’s trust and go at whatever speed they’re comfortable with. I will make sure every furbaby gets the attention they need and deserve! In fact most times, I have my bow wow backup and fiancé, Zeke, help me out, so it’s like getting two fun sitters for the price of one! We are, also, fully covid vaccinated! I am great at following detailed or complicated instructions and I haven’t met a pet I don’t like that doesn’t like me! Plus, I update mom and dad with lots of pictures of any fun adventures we go on (even if it’s just couch surfing lol) If you need anything else done like plants to be watered or fetching mail I am absolutely available for that, too! I am very aware of pet behavior and needs. My experience in veterinary medicine has taught me the signs to look for trouble and how to properly handle any situation. I am able to communicate easily with veterinary staff on behalf of your pet, per your instructions of course!

Jennifer is amazing with our 9 month old puppy Gus and two cats. Gus is definitely a bit of a handful at this age, but she kept him busy with playtime and multiple walks a day. We couldn't wait for her daily updates and ended up with over 100 pictures of Gus and our cats over just a few days. Jennifer also left the house in pristine condition, with the towels and sheets already washed and put away. She is the best pet sitter we've ever had and can't recommend her enough!

We were anxious to leave our puppy Gus overnight for the first time, but Jennifer made the entire process so easy. She helped Gus adjust to our absence and worked with us in managing his separation anxiety throughout the stay. Jennifer is a great communicator and sends the best updates that we've ever gotten from a sitter, plus many excellent photos so we could see exactly how well Gus and our two cats were doing. She left the house in perfect condition with the sheets already done in the dryer when we got home. We are so thrilled to have found Jennifer and have already booked her for two more trips later this summer. Thank you Jennifer!

Jennifer was amazing with our big (stubborn) dog Stark! We loved reading her updates whenever she stopped in to feed him and give him some love. We will definitely be repeat customers and would absolutely recommend her to others! Thanks again Jen!

We were out of town for a week and Jennifer took care of our dog in our home. He loved her from the first moment that he met her! He was so well taken care of as was our home. Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I try to spend the majority of my time with your sweet babies whenever we house sit and having a great, comfortable, safe, and fun time is always at the top of the list! When I need to run out to do a few dog walks or drop-ins I make sure to limit my time being out to 4 hours or less, that way the rest of the time is spent with your little guys at home!

A typical day

We love keeping your pets active if they need it, but also love a lazy couch potato ❤️ We love going for car rides (even if it’s just to the corner store and back), but only if you give us the all ok! And now that we're in Portland finding trails and parks and water should be no problem! Either way your little babies are going to have fun adventures they can tell you all about later! For walks (especially regular walks) I try to find fun new routes so we can see and sniff all sorts of smells and exciting things! Don’t worry I make sure to document every cute encounter, I want mom and dad to feel like they’re right there hanging out with us!
