Reviews
Jennifer was beyond helpful while taking care of our 4 dogs while we were out of state. She checked in each day with photos and videos, which gave us peace of mind. She went above and beyond to give our pups stimulation both physically and mentally to help them adjust us being away. We felt comfortable with Jennifer looking after our home and our dogs while out of state. We will 100% book Jennifer again for our future trips and would recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, skilled and trustworthy sitter!
Took great care of our pet. Always nice to see your pet smiling when you come home! Jennifer reported the night completely and was happy with our pet's conduct as well. I would highly recommend her for your pet(s).
I recently had the pleasure of entrusting my beloved furry companions to Jennifer's care, and I cannot speak highly enough of her exceptional pet-sitting skills. From the moment I met her, it was evident that her passion for animals and dedication to their well-being sets her apart from the rest! Her extensive knowledge, experience in dog training and commitment to ongoing education in this field is commendable! This background allows her to understand the unique needs of each dog and tailor her approach accordingly. A huge pro was Jennifer's ability to handle dogs with complex health issues. As a pet parent with dogs on multiple medications, I was initially concerned about finding someone who could manage their specific requirements. However, Jennifer's proficiency in administering medications and her experience with dogs on various treatments gave me complete peace of mind! I knew my furry companions were in capable hands. Not only is Jennifer highly knowledgeable, but she is also involved in the fostering and adoption of dogs. Her genuine care and love for animals shine through her dedication to finding homes for those in need. Her nurturing approach, coupled with her experience, creates a warm and safe environment for all animals under her care. With Jennifer, you can relax knowing your pets are in the hands of someone who is not only capable but truly passionate about providing them with the best care possible!

I lived and traveled with my husband our 4 dogs and cat in an RV for 16 months , this has given me the unique perspective of the value of routine during change. For example when my dogs can rely on their routine being consistent wherever we are, it helps them adjust to the many new environments we experience. I know there is value in your routine with your pet, and will do my best to follow your instructions to ensure the most comforting and pleasant experience for your loved one while you are away. See profile photos for pictures of my canine crew now and over the past few years, including Captain, a Pekingese dog who lived vivaciously to 16 1/2 years old with IVDD. His life included struggles with mobility that required Help'em Up harnesses for walks and eventually a wheelchair. He also struggled with eye problems that eventually resulted in having an eye removed. This dog, and others, taught me so much about medical care for senior pets! I have a senior dog who is completely blind, but lives a very active lifestyle. I have another senior dog who usually prefers napping and cuddling over all other things. My other two dogs are young highly active and intelligent working dogs being trained in detection. Whatever your needs, my pet sitting can help your pet to live their best life!
Information Jennifer G. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has a bite history, or is reactive in specific environments or situations please let me know prior to my first walk or sit with your dog so that we can both be set up for success. I will work with dogs that have special needs or behavioral challenges, but I count on pet parents to keep me informed about challenging situations and behaviors. Please know that while I am a dog trainer, I am not employed as a trainer through Rover. If you are interested in training services please talk with me directly about how I am building my business after our transaction through Rover.
A typical day
I'm great at finding new places to explore and am ready to trust you if you tell me someplace in particular is the best place for your pet to have success on a walk. My experience using new environments to entertain pets and satisfy there natural drives like sniffing, searching, and exploring are sure to have your best friend max'n relax'n after their time with me. I also have experience creating games in your home yard, or out and about for your high energy pet who needs extra mental stimulation beyond just walkies.

Availability
I am a direct care provider for the elderly, so I am hoping around town regularly and can fit pet visits in between or around my direct care visits as needed. My schedule is flexible so with notice I can easily amend my schedule to accommodate pet sitting.
