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.

Information Jennifer F. would like to know about your pet

Let's meet in-person or on video ahead of time to talk about what your pet and house need, special instructions, and typical routines. We will see if I am a good match for what you need while away. I want you to feel comfortable knowing that everything will be taken care of while you are away so that you can enjoy that time.

A typical day

I have always lived an active lifestyle so if your "kid(s)" needs walking for exercise, we will do as much of that as wanted/needed. Fetch? Dog parks if appropriate? Hikes? Practicing skills with positive reinforcement? Snuggles. Bathroom/smell walks to explore the neighborhood? I will maintain the activities and schedule that they are used to.

Pet care experience

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.

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 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!

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.
