Hi, I love working with animals!
Pet care experience
Dog walking and drop in clients- I have volunteered and worked as kennel staff 1000+ hours at the Animal Humane Society in St. Paul MN, Chequamegon Humane Association in Ashland WI and an Animal Hospital and Medical Boarding Facility in the north metro. In my positions I have facilitated adoptions, performed animal husbandry through maintaining a clean and safe environment for the animals of the shelter, engage dogs and cats in mental and social enrichment, exercise/walk the dogs, prepare and give diets, create feeding and medication charts, administer oral/dermal/otic/optic medication and subcutaneous fluids and of course give snuggles! Farm animals experience: I have experience working on a dairy farm for 6 months at a time. I grew up on a hobby farm caring for poultry and hoofstock. House sitting- I am available for those within 10 miles of Westside St. Paul to care for your fur babies. I have house and pet sat for my neighbors, professors, community members, friends and family.
Reviews
Jen watched our dog and cat for a week in our home and did an excellent job. We came home to happy pets and a tidy home, and she sent updates throughout the week. Based on the pictures she sent us, it was clear that our dog was comfortable with her and that he was getting the exercise he needs. I would absolutely work with Jen again in the future!
Jennifer sent me tons of pics and I felt very safe leaving my fur babies with her!!! Definitely recommend!!
Jennifer is a responsible, intuitive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic animal caretaker. She has immense experience working with a wide variety of animals, but I think she has a special place in her heart for dogs. You and your dog will be thankful to have Jennifer in your lives!

Safety, trust & environment
I will follow the owner’s lead on pet care, whether the animal is indoors only, outdoors, or both and whether they are leash only, fenced yard, etc. I understand that every pet is different in their personalities, history, and needs and am honored to be a part of their care team.
Information Jennifer F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your animal has any special needs and/or behaviors. I am flexible but prefer to know in advance what we are working with. Thank you!
A typical day
I love to engage animals in ways that they show me they enjoy! Some love active outdoor play, others would rather mosey along on a walk and pick up interesting smells, and others prefer the couch potato and cuddle life (for dog sitting clients). I do my best to listen to their needs and present them with engaging, fit activities that cater to their personality.

I work remotely part time and occasionally travel on the weekends. I’m pretty flexible during the work week and have easy access to reliable transportation.
