Highlights
Pet care experience
I look forward to being of service
I grew up with dogs and was a border collie mom to Cas until a few years ago and miss him dearly! I had chickens and miss those characters! I recently retired and provided pet and home sitting services on and off during my career. Since I retired I have had back to back pet and house sitting jobs. I have owned homes and was a landlord. I owned and maintained my last house by myself for almost 15 years and had a large property to maintain. I am experienced with keeping indoor and outdoor plants alive and maintaining landscaping. I am skilled at following special instructions for the care of your animals, plants, outdoor area, and home.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I really enjoy being around pets and the routine that they provide and am currently not in a position to have them as I will periodically be traveling and exploring the U.S. and internationally now that my schedule is more flexible. I like to hike and walk and it's more fun with a furry companion. I have owned homes and was a landlord. I am a very neat, tidy, organized, reliable, and dependable person. I will treat your home and pets as I would my own. I look forward to helping you with whatever you need while you are away from home.
Ratings and reviews
Jennifer was amazing with our 3 dogs and watching our house. She is extremely attentive and our dogs loved her. She is very responsible and provides great communication while you are away. We cannot wait to have her back!



Jennifer took great care of our pets. Highly recommend!

Jennifer house sat for us and took great care of our two cats and dog - and home. She was super attentive and responsive. She kept in touch, sending photos and updates during the week. She left the place super clean and tidy and even left flowers on the dining table: a lovely treat upon our return. We would certainly book with her again!

Kelly looks forward to seeing Jennifer

I cannot recommend Jen highly enough as a house and pet sitter. She became far more than a sitter to us—she truly became a co-parent to our beloved Border Collie, who was a service-trained companion and a deeply cherished member of our family. Our dog absolutely adored her—she was his “human crush.” Jen carefully monitored his veterinary visits, medications, and daily needs with incredible attention and responsibility. Jen is fit and leads an active lifestyle and walked, ran, and hiked with our high energy dog as much as needed. As he entered his senior years and began experiencing strokes and memory issues, she showed extraordinary patience, compassion, and dedication. Knowing he was with someone who loved and pampered him meant the world to us. Jen also helped care for a severely abused rescue dog that we had been told likely had only about a week to live. We brought her home with the intention of providing hospice care in what we thought would be her final days. Jen participated in that and with time, consistency, and love, the dog slowly healed and regained trust. After a year of recovery, she found a wonderful forever home, where she became a companion dog for a special-needs teenager. She also cared for our very spoiled and rather entitled Papillon. With calm patience and consistency, Jen maintained the important boundaries needed to keep her well-socialized with both people and other animals while giving her plenty of affection and attention. Beyond her exceptional care for animals, Jen is someone you can completely trust with your home and property. She maintains a home beautifully—clean, organized, and cared for with pride and attention to detail. In many ways, she takes care of other people’s things even better than her own. Whether it is a house, vehicles, or property, she treats everything responsibly and respectfully, as if it were her own. Jen has a rare combination of reliability, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Anyone who entrusts their home, pets, or property to her can feel completely confident they will be cared for with dedication, respect, and genuine heart.
Jen house/pet sat our 10-year-old lab mix for a week. She filled in at the last minute when our previous sitter had a medical emergency. She followed all the directions I provided, asked clarifying questions, left the house clean/tidy, and sent daily updates. Jen is athletic and took Charlie on good walks. I've known Jen for several years, and we see each other weekly. She keeps her place tidy and is highly organized. Jen previously lived on several acres and kept several animals outside. I highly recommend her to take care of your pets.
