I am an elementary school teacher on summer break, so I have pretty wide-open availability for the season. I craft heavily when I'm not working, but that can always be paused to attend to pets :)

Safety, trust & environment

I believe in respect for animals first and foremost! Reading their body language and listening to their cues is crucial. I also believe in trusting owners’ advice about their pets since you know your fur baby best!

Information Jennifer G. would like to know about your pet

What makes your pet comfortable/uncomfortable? What are some physical cues your pet might show to communicate their preferences? What can I do to make you feel the most comfortable while you're away?

A typical day

All fur babies are different, so my pet sitting style changes based on the animal. I grew up with a couple of traumatized dogs, so with shy dogs I know how to slowly and patiently build trust. With high-energy dogs, I love to run around and play. The weather is amazing right now, so why not take a nice walk (or two) with a furry friend?

Caring Pet Sitter! ❤️❤️

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Jen and I'm a self-professed animal lover! Cats and dogs are a big part of my life. My family always used in-home pet sitting for our dogs, a couple of whom were traumatized and required a little more comfort than most. I understand how it can be hard to leave a dog in a kennel or an unfamiliar home. That's where I come in! Let me pamper your fur baby and put your mind at ease.

We had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my senior dog, followed all of my instructions, and sent regular updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was easy to communicate with and always quick to respond. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Jennifer did a fantastic job taking care of Indy. Indy needed extra attention with his medications and health situation. Jennifer was very thoughtful and caring in giving attention to Indy to make him feel comfortable. We sincerely appreciate the care given by Jennifer for Indy.
