Availability
I am an elementary school teacher on summer break, so I have pretty wide-open availability for the season. I craft heavily when I'm not working, but that can always be paused to attend to pets :)

Safety, trust & environment
I believe in respect for animals first and foremost! Reading their body language and listening to their cues is crucial. I also believe in trusting owners’ advice about their pets since you know your fur baby best!
Information Jennifer G. would like to know about your pet
What makes your pet comfortable/uncomfortable? What are some physical cues your pet might show to communicate their preferences? What can I do to make you feel the most comfortable while you're away?
A typical day
All fur babies are different, so my pet sitting style changes based on the animal. I grew up with a couple of traumatized dogs, so with shy dogs I know how to slowly and patiently build trust. With high-energy dogs, I love to run around and play. The weather is amazing right now, so why not take a nice walk (or two) with a furry friend?

Caring Pet Sitter! ❤️❤️
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Jen and I'm a self-professed animal lover! Cats and dogs are a big part of my life. 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 I come in! Let me pamper your fur baby and put your mind at ease.

Reviews
Jennifer was great! Super friendly, wonderful with my dog Sadie and very communicative!!
The sweetest human ever took great care of my dogs. I would definitely use Jennifer again. She’s the best.
Jennifer did a fantastic job taking care of Indy. Indy needed extra attention with his medications and health situation. Jennifer was very thoughtful and caring in giving attention to Indy to make him feel comfortable. We sincerely appreciate the care given by Jennifer for Indy.
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.
