Highlights
Pet care experience
10+ yrs experience. Love All Breeds
I am an animal lover and advocate. I have been volunteering and fostering cats and dogs since 2007. Truthfully, I prefer four legged company over two. I believe in Positive reinforcement training for dogs. I am a HUGE Bully Breed lover and advocate. I believe there is always Something that can be done to understand and support a "bad" animal. I don't use the label "aggressive" flippantly. Some organizations I have worked are Karma Rescue in LA. Austin Pets Alive, Austin Animal Shelter in TX. Boise Bully Breed rescue and Simply Cats in Boise, ID. The love of my life, my cat, who has been my fur child for 16 years has recently passed and I’m gutted. 💔 I am used to caring for animals and want to continue caring for them anywhere I’m needed. I would be honored to care for your four legged children in whatever capacity is needed. Prices listed are Negotiable. Training just happens while in my care if needed so it is not listed specifically. I am a mom (and former Army medic) so picking eye boogs and stickers, grooming, also just happens. Can't help it. I raised my prices a smidge but understand, I Don’t just do 30 minute walks or hang out and watch tv. I Interact with every pet. I am thoroughly attentive. Hours are spent in constant devotion. I treat them like my cat, Wombat who got anything his precious heart desired. Understand, I will NEVER condone behavior or actions from clients that I deem are negligent or abusive in any form. In your home, I will do as instructed. We can discuss all your concerns, needs, schedules prior or at the meet and greet.

Ratings and reviews
Jennifer is great and very sweet to my dog! Thank you for walking her, she was so calm and restful afterwards. Seems like she had a great walk.
Jennifer seemed to be a knowledgeable and experienced sitter. She helped us out when our usual sitter options weren't available. Unfortunately, based on her reports and pictures, our dogs didn't settle in well with her. There were more issues getting our dogs to eat and take pills than we are used to our sitters having. She suggested that perhaps past sitters had lied/omitted that info in their reports. While that is possible, it doesn't negate their behavior with her. They were safe and cared for, but they seemed less relaxed than we expected for house sitting.
Jennifer did well in a difficult situation. My older cat doesn't like most people. Jennifer didn't give up on my cranky old man. She made sure he was eating. drinking, not as bored.I received pics and videos daily.When I came home the litter box was clean. The litter around the house was picked up too. My only concern was her giving him Miralax before asking. I would have liked to be consulted 1st.
Jennifer was great! Excellent care for my pup!
Nahko and Holly miss Jennifer already! She took fantastic care of my pups and house- sent photos and videos daily, provided updates and was super responsive before and during her stay. Extremely grateful for her help while I was out of town!
Jennifer was very friendly and professional. She went out of her way to refresh the water and clean up stuffing from a toy so my dog wouldnt choke if she got into it.
