About Jennifer F.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for your pets in your home with the same love, attention, and respect that I would give my own. I greet them warmly and offer plenty of pets, cuddles, affection, and companionship based on their individual personality and comfort level. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, playtime, and any additional accommodations or care requested. For pets who require walks, I ensure they are safely harnessed and comfortable while allowing them time to explore and sniff at their own pace. I stay attentive to their surroundings, prioritize their safety around other animals, and make sure they remain comfortable in all weather conditions — never too hot or too cold. My goal is always to help your pets feel safe, cared for, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. :)
Information Jennifer F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, preferences, or behaviors that I should be aware of so I can provide the best possible care. Any information you can share ahead of time — such as feeding schedules and portion sizes, medications or health concerns, allergies or sensitivities, favorite toys, treats, or comfort items, hiding spots or escape tendencies, triggers or fears (loud noises, strangers, other animals, etc.), energy level and play preferences, behavioral quirks or boundaries, emergency contact and preferred vet information, house rules, leash behavior, reactivity, harness/collar instructions, or how your pet responds to new people and other animals — is extremely helpful for me in preparing and ensuring your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I believe every pet is unique, and I always strive to respect their individual personality, boundaries, and needs. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos after each visit to keep you informed and reassured while you’re away. :)
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I care for is centered around making them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and understood. I like taking time to get to know each pet’s personality, energy, boundaries, routines, and little quirks so they can feel as relaxed and at ease with me as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, and that all of their basic care needs are taken care of right away. From there, it’s all about quality time! Whether that means cuddles, playtime, brushing, lounging together, enrichment activities, or just being a calm and comforting presence nearby. I love letting dogs safely explore and sniff on walks at their own pace, and I’m equally happy hanging out with shy kitties and letting them warm up to me in their own time while creating a gentle, calm, stress-free environment. I also handle requested tasks like litter box cleaning and general care. I have experience administering oral medications using pill pockets, though I do not currently have experience with injectable (needle-based) medications. However, I’m always open to learning new skills with proper instruction to better support pets and their individual needs. My goal is always for your pet to feel cared for, understood, and maybe even a little excited to see me again the next time. :)

Loving & Reliable Pet Care 💜🐾🩵
Pet care experience
While I’m beginning my professional pet care journey, I’ve been around animals my entire life — including cats, dogs, turtles, and more — and I’m very comfortable providing loving, compassionate, high-quality care. I’m intuitive, empathetic, detail-oriented, and a strong communicator, which I believe are all important qualities when caring for animals. I understand how important it is to place your pets in trustworthy hands, and I’ll always treat your fur babies with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. I’m not just there to complete tasks — I genuinely love animals and enjoy bonding with them, making sure they feel loved, comforted, and cared for while their humans are away. Whether your pet needs a fun, active environment or a calm and relaxing space, I’m happy to accommodate their unique personality and needs to help them feel happy, safe and comfortable while in my care. Thank you for considering me! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! :)

Reviews
Not only have I known Jenny for the past 10 years, but I have personally witnessed her passion and natural intuition for animals. She is reliable, thoughtful, and incredibly caring for animals and humans alike. I highly recommend her to take care of any precious extended family member and would utilize her for my own pet care needs! She is truly remarkable and goes above and beyond!
Jenny is one of the purest, most gentle and caring, animal-loving friends I have ever had of 8+ years. If I had to pick one person to trust with my animals it would 100% be her - she truly loves them on a deep level and has very nurturing instincts. She educates herself thoroughly to understand any issues or special needs, pays close attention to behavior and body language, and is very alert and quick to respond to any situations. Jenny’s patience and kindness is all anyone would need, any pet would have the best care ever with her!
I am Jenny’s dad and have watched her take loving care of our family pets since she was a little girl. Jenny took care of her kitten “Kutsey” for 16 yrs until her passing. She has taken an active hand with all the family pets her whole life. Turtles, frogs, Koi pond cleaning, and the last five years Rose our Lab/Pit mix. She takes Rose on long walks daily. She genuinely love all animals. She would make a great dog walker.
I’ve never met anyone who loves and cares for animals quite like Jenny. She grew up with animals of all kinds including dogs, cats, turtles, and fish. Jenny not only knows about pet care, but is constantly doing thorough research to ensure she is the best pet parent she can be. Jenny is a kind and gentle person who would be a great addition to the Rover team.
