Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my routine — it’s something I genuinely enjoy! I’m available mornings, evenings, and weekends, with a flexible schedule that allows me to adapt as needed. I am able to care for about a dozen pets per week and I only book one house-sitting family at a time to ensure each pet gets my full attention. Walks and drop-ins can easily be added into my day, especially Monday through Friday. Pet care is both relaxing and rewarding for me — I love building relationships with the pets I visit, and I think they look forward to our time together just as much as I do!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, starting by learning their pet’s established routine to ensure they feel comfy and happy. I gather all the important info — like vet contacts, emergency numbers, and where cleaning supplies live (just in case!). I’m a tidy sitter too: I take out the trash and scoop up any yard “presents” to keep things fresh. Most importantly, I listen closely to both owner and pet to discover what makes each furry friend feel safe and loved, then tailor my care to their unique personality.

Information Jennifer D. would like to know about your pet

To give your pet the best care possible, I love getting to know all their quirks and comforts! I’ll ask about their daily routine, favorite activities, feeding schedule, and any medical or behavioral needs. I also want to know what makes them happy, what stresses them out, and how they prefer to be approached — especially for shy or spicy pets. Oh, and don’t forget the practical stuff: leash spots, crate use, litter box details, cleaning supplies, and emergency contacts. The more I know, the more your pet can relax and feel right at home with me!

A typical day

Every pet is different, so no two days look exactly the same — and that’s part of the fun! Some pets want snuggles and slow strolls, while others are all about fetch, tug-of-war, or zoomies in the yard. I’ll stick to your pet’s usual routine while adding in the things that make them happiest — whether that’s brushing, belly rubs, puzzle toys, or just chilling nearby. I pay close attention to body language and mood so I can match their vibe each day. My goal is always a happy, relaxed pet by the end of every visit!

Seasoned Sitter 4 All Pawsonalities

Pet care experience

Since 2014, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and pawsonalities — from shy kittens to spicy dogs, plus chickens, bunnies, and even a hermit crab. 🐶🐱🐔🐰🐟 Fostering over 200 pets has made me fluent in body language (pet edition). Whether your pet wants snuggles, space, or serious playtime, I tailor each visit to what makes them happiest. I’m comfortable giving medications* and teaching basic obedience. I also make the experience great for you! I’m a reliable communicator, send plenty of cute pics, and if your pet’s up for it, you’ll come home to a handmade surprise “from your pet.” *If medications are required to be given an additional fee will be negotiated and applied before the booking is confirmed.

Jennifer has been an absolute blessing! She is always on time, communicates exceptionally well, and keeps me updated with pictures and messages while I’m away. She is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about my dogs. My dogs are not the easiest to care for, so finding someone they are comfortable with has always been a challenge. Jennifer has been incredibly patient with them, and they do so well in her care. Knowing they’re happy, safe, and loved gives me complete peace of mind every time I leave. She has truly become my go-to pet sitter, and I can’t recommend her enough. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like family, Jennifer is the one!

Jennifer took excellent care of my two special needs senior dogs while we were out of town. I have two anxious pups who take several medications at odd times of the day and I’m personally very anxious to leave my dogs in anyone’s care. As soon as I met Jennifer I noticed she had a very calming presence and asked several questions that immediately made me feel at ease. She was very familiar with anxious dogs and gave my dogs the space they needed to get comfortable. While we were away, Jennifer was able to keep my pups calm and taken care of and provided several pictures and updates. I am very grateful for the time and care she provided and will definitely be reaching out to have her help with my girls the next time we are away.
