I'd love to keep your pets company!
Pet care experience
As a full time nanny/pet sitter, I'm always looking for new families and pets to add to my schedule. I love animals, but I live in an apartment, so I'm not allowed to have them(although, I did have an albino lion's head bunny for almost 10 years!). I've found that walking and playing with dogs is a great way to switch up my exercise routine, and it lets me enjoy their company without owning one myself. Walking, playing, giving lots of affection and tummy rubs, overnight stays, medicating as needed Why I love dog sitting We ALWAYS had pets while growing up, everything from bunnies and guinea pigs to chickens to cats and dogs. My experience administering medication I've given oral meds twice daily basis for one of my regular dogs, and I am completely comfortable doing so. I'm also familiar with diabetic pets, with testing their levels and administering injections.
Reviews
Jennifer was wonderfully sweet to our pups and a delightful dog walking companion!
I had to leave town without my pet companion for two weeks for the first time ever and was very nervous about doing that. I interviewed a few pet caregivers, but when I met Jennifer, it wasobvious that whatever else I might arrange for while I was away, she would definitely be part of the picture. Jennifer is a fabulous professional and a caregiver who my pooch loves. Jennifer made sure my little one knew she was loved even though I was away. In addition to feeding, protecting, chilling with, and walking my little one, Jennifer made sure my dog's GPS was placed correctly in the day and charged at night. Jennifer made sure that my pup got only her special renal diet. This was marvelous, because other caretakers at the house wanted to give my little one food that was inappropriate for her. Jennifer made sure that that did not happen. She also monitored my dog's mandible to make sure a mucoseal did not reappear. If it had, Jennifer was ready to take my little one to her vet. In addition, Jennifer took my pup to outside appointments that the little one had in that two week period. My groomer told me that my pup really loves Jennifer as when my pup would see Jennifer come collect her from an appointment, my pup's tail began wagging wildly with apparent joy. When an accident necessitated a delay in my return to care for my pup, Jennifer was able to care for my dog a few days longer than that for which we had originally contracted. I will always be grateful for her kindness and care. I highly recommend Jennifer to anybody who is looking for a pet sitter,
Jennifer stayed with and cared for my pup for two weeks while I was away on business. She is a marvelous caregiver who I will happily hire again and refer to others who need a pet sitter. Jennifer made sure my little one knew she was loved in addition to feeding her and protecting her. Jennifer made sure my dog's GPS was placed correctly and that my pup got only her special diet. In addition, Jennifer took my pup to outside appointments that she had in that time. My groomer told me that my pup really loves Jennifer as when she would see her come collect her form an appointment, my pups tail began wagging with apparent joy. As I mentioned I will happily re-hire Jennifer to watch my dog and I highly recommend her service to any other pet parent.
Jennifer was very friendly and professional. She took good care of our dog on short notice over the holidays.
