Loving your fur babies like my own!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs and cats as well as many other animals from rodents to horses my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for your house pets, and whatever pet large or small, will be cared for like my very own. I have training and rehabilitation experience as well as many years of house and pet sitting experience. I love spoiling your babies and making your vacation, seem just as much as their vacation! They get play time with us, our kids and our pets as well as other clients pets. I like to introduce and allow playtime in a safe fashion and work hard to match personalities so everyone is having a fun and safe time! I’m able to separate into groups and allow playtime as well as rest time and one on one care. I like to return your fur babies in a happy and tuckered out mood!

Jennifer did wonders with my grumpy little guy. She is very good at handling her client pets. Her daily updates with pictures ,made me at ease and I was able to enjoy my get away. Jennifer is the only pet sitter I will call.

I care for them as closely to their routine and schedule as I can to help them comfortably adjust while you’re away! I will do my best to keep things as close to how they usually are so your pets can feel comfortable with someone new coming in and shaking up their routine or schedule. I like to form relationship and bonds with my clients both two legged and 4, so you can look at me as a family friend, here to take the stress away from you knowing you’ve found long term, attentive and loving care for your pets needs, when you need to get away. I try to go above and beyond for my clients, and will care for your pet to the very best of my ability, so you can relax while working or away and make the most of your stay.

Information Jennifer D. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the dos and do nots! Things your pet definitely likes and things they don’t like. Any medications or unique behaviors are a good thing to go over as well as what style and relationship you guys have in terms of what is allowed and not allowed behavior or anything you’re hoping to work on with with pet! Any medications or behaviors such as food or toy aggression are definitely considered must knows, just to ensure I keep myself and them safe. Awareness of anxiety or stressors are always beneficial as well to make their stay as calm and comfortable as possible.

A typical day

We like to stay as close to their normal routine as possible, but like to get play time, walks and socializing as well as training time in between meals and wind down time! Anything your ever working on with your pets I like to be informed of so I can continue to work on those behaviors while in my care.
