I was born and raised in LA, but lived in other states where I worked in a completely different field. I lived in Waterville for close to 5 years to attend college. I moved back here in April of 2026 and instead of continuing my line of work in psychology/criminal justice, I have decided to take a break from that to do what brings me joy - which is caring for animals in any way that I can. In other words, my time is all dedicated to your fur babies.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort once I’m with them, including the security of your home. I follow any instructions meticulously, like feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, etc., to ensure your pet’s well-being. I like to leave spaces as I have left them, if not cleaner, and ensure your pet does not have access to anything hazardous, especially if I must step away during our time together. I like to communicate with my clients daily to give them peace of mind while away from home.

Information Jennifer E. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any allergies or behaviors I should be made aware of, such as reactivity to other dogs while on walks. If there are parks, trails, or neighborhoods you would prefer we go to OR avoid, then I’ll gladly go where you are comfortable. Also, let me know if your pet has any special talents or quirks, such as escape artist, sock connoisseur, or being a professional paper shredder.

A typical day

I like to ensure we can go on a long walk at least once a day, especially if the weather is nice and the neighborhood is new to me. If a front or backyard is spacey and safe, then I will spend some time playing or just relaxing out in the sun with your pet. I like to use puzzles for treats if there are puzzles in the home, otherwise I can come up with other ways to use treats for mental stimulation.

Pet care experience

I provide compassionate care to all sorts of pets, ranging from dogs, cats, and other small critters. As a pet owner who has had all sorts of animals, I understand how difficult it could be to find a reliable pet sitter for your furry family members while you’re away, so I like to highlight my experience beyond our canine and feline friends 😊 I have volunteer experience providing foster homes for cats and kittens awaiting adoption. This included providing oral medication. My own rats have had to undergo tumor removal surgery, so I have experience providing post-op care with rats. I have provided Rover/pet sitting services in Colorado Springs and Los Angeles, so despite not having a lot of bookings on Rover, I come with references. Of course, I also have my own dog who keeps me on my toes while on walks and has allowed me to learn more about dog behavior and care.

Jen was absolutely wonderful with Bogart. She is caring and compassionate and a lovely person! She cooked for him and was patient with Bogart's needs as an 18 year-old dog. She was sending me pictures and updates regularly and he was so peppy and happy after spending time with her. I know Bogart would love to spend time with her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
