Caring Pet Sitter! ❤️❤️
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Jennifer and I'm a self-professed animal lover! I adore all kinds of dogs and grew up around many big (BIG) dogs! My family always used in-home pet sitting for our dogs, a couple of whom were traumatized and required a little more comfort than most. I understand how it can be hard to leave a dog in a kennel or an unfamiliar home. That's where having an in-home sitter can let you rest assured that your pets are happy and well cared for!
Reviews
We have wonderful things to say about Jennifer. She came to our house to meet Roma and talk about the job before we booked and we felt very comfortable having her stay in our home. Our dog is almost 14 years old and has some special requirements that Jennifer was more than happy to comply with. Roma was in a cone while we were gone and Jennifer had to take it on and off to feed her and get her down the stairs in the morning and because of the cone, had to give her extra help up the stairs at night. She also needed oral medications which Jennifer was happy to make sure she got on schedule in the morning and evening. In addition to meeting Roma's special needs, Jennifer was all around professional. She send us daily updates with a photo and communicated when she had any kind of question about Roma's behavior, like her eating or difficulty getting up the stairs. Jennifer also was a great steward of our home while we were gone. She cleaned up after Roma in the back yard and took the garbage and recycling to the curb for us on garbage day. She also collected the mail for us and the house was very clean and tidy when we got home. We will definitely work with Jennifer again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter.
Jennifer was a phenomenal sitter! She cared for my 2 dogs while I was on vacation last November and she did an excellent job. Will hire again.
Jennifer has watched my 2 dogs and 2 cats several times and she is very loving and responsible. My older dog needed medicine and she gave it to him with no problems. She walked them daily. I highly recommend her.
Jen did a fantastic job taking care of my 3 dogs. One of my dogs is very old and I can be hesitant to leave someone with him, but Jen gave me lots of updates throughout the days she worked for me. She was everything we were looking for in a dog sitter and is now our go-to girl!

A typical day
All dogs are different, so my dog-sitting style changes on a pooch-to-pooch basis. I grew up with a couple of traumatized dogs, so with shy dogs I know how to slowly and patiently build their trust. With high-energy dogs, I love to run around and play. I'm definitely not the type of person to just dump food in a bowl and sit around.

I taught kindergarten in the Seattle area, but am taking a break from full time teaching while I settle in to life in southern CA. I work as a substitute teacher part time and pet sit as well.
