Best Part of Day is With Animals!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs in my life since I was born, we had Airedale terriers growing up, our girl Ginger had a litter & my parents kept one puppy. So we had two females Ginger & Erika. My Mum volunteered at our vets clinic for several years when I was young, starting at pre K or & I came with her learned so much! We had two more Airedales over the years, I also at 11 started pet sitting the neighbours cat. Since then I have pet sat cats, dogs, fish, bearded dragon, salamander, turtle, birds- puppies & kittens. I can train a dog to walk & properly’heel’ when walking. I also am an intermediate level western horse rider, I worked a summer in a stable as a stable hand. Love horses too. As my Airedales grew older I learned how to give them medicine. I have brushed both cats & dogs teeth. I know how to make kong frozen treats. I later had my own cats & an Airedale, my tabby was mischievous needed fun active smart toys. I have applied medicine in cats eyes & good tricks to hide meds in treats for pets to take easily. Having had my Airedales since puppies I am used to ‘potty’ training to get outside either in an apartment setting or home with a yard & yes I will do poop clean up & litterboxes. I believe in leaving a home tidy & keep up with proper household work, take out garbage & recycling, pick up Mail. So you come home to fresh sheets & groceries if needed - any extra errands can be discussed I’m willing to do if I can. I have been a nanny, light housekeeping cook for a family. * I have a day job now, so I am more available for house/pet sitting & first morning walks, feeding and later evening walks, while live in house sitting- can change litter boxes too of course . My days available for walking/ feeding are Tuesday or Sunday now as of April 2024.* Thank you I look forward to hearing from you.

Jennifer is hands down the only person I trust with my fur baby. She is so fun and great with him. He is also SOOO excited to see her and sad to see her leave. Highly recommend Jen for your house and pet sitting needs!

Jennifer took care of my house, cat, and both indoor and outdoor plants in Toronto for several weeks in 2019 and I could not have asked for a better person to do this. Jennifer took excellent care of absolutely everything, and left the house immaculate, and the plants and animals very happy! I would definitely use her again--highly recommended!

Jennifer was amazing cat sitter to my kitty Elsa She's stayed at my place for multiple weeks and was always keeping me updated during my trip by sending photos and providing updates. She also looked after my 15+ plants and I came home to a clean apartment with fresh linens. She has been the most reliable cat sitter I've had to date - very sad that she had to relocate! I highly Jennifer recommend for any home/pet(s) :)

Jennifer has house sat and pet sat for us numerous times. She is fantastic. Everytime Jennifer comes over, our dog does the crazy 'zoomies' because she is so excited.

Safety, trust & environment

I have crate trained dogs, I have the strength and the advocacy to voice the safety of the pets in my care. I don’t believe all dogs must socialize when out for a walk, responsibly reading your dog & others is very important. A dog in one’s care may act differently when you are out with them compared to their owners. I always keep that in mind I don’t necessarily feel it’s a good idea for off the leash play with a new dog right away, some never. They are like kids or horses & will test you to see what they can get away with since you are not the parent /owner. I clean up after pets when ‘potty’training be that wee wee pads or outside realize when it’s an accident and not scold - especially older pets really have to mind their signs to ask to go out. Older pets tend to have weaker bladders just like people. I’m aware of house rules owners have set so not to upset training is key too. I’m also a firm believer of not feeding from the peoples table. I know of the bad foods & many plants for pets safety. I expect to have all veterinary numbers available at my disposal.

Information Jennifer G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs for your pets with a specific list of instructions foods amount of treats - the veterinary’s numbers and the local 24hr Vet clinic too. An emergency friends number or neighbour too please.

A typical day

I base my routine around what is requested by the owners. Depending on the time available or expected I can add a longer walk on a new trail or play in the backyard if available. Treat command training games would be nice to add if a part of the dogs routine. I had a client with a boarder collie and he had many tricks he could do so I had lots to keep him refreshed in. Much of each booking will be built around what the client wants first and then I may have suggestions. Every pet sitting is different.

I’m working during the day so my schedule is 9 - 5 with time in the morning before work ( for walks or let out backyard) in Lehigh Valley/ Allentown. I’m at a luxury dealership. So evenings if I’m house sitting or pet sitting staying at a home with the pets works great for me. I can’t come back during lunch so if that is needed, possibly a neighbour can do the mid day ‘out’. This I know is quite ideal for cat/house sitting. I have Fridays & Sundays off, also all Christian & Jewish holidays off from my day job. Right now no Christmas plans so I’m available, Thanksgiving too.
