Lots of love and exercise!

I am here to care for your pet when you are not able to. Whether it be an extended vacation, one night, or day care while you're at work - you can feel comfortable to contact me. My apartment is conveniently located in Downtown Bethesda... and it is a pet-friendly community with a pet spa! I live an active lifestyle and will be happy to take your pup along on my runs and lots of walks throughout the day. My home is filled with love and I'm sure they'll be content and happy staying with me while you're away! I have been around animals my entire life and I enjoy learning more about them. I am aware of healthy pet lifestyles and I know what warning sign to look out for. Most importantly, I have a passion for maintaining their positive energy. About this sitter: I've been with animals all my life and you can have confidence I will take great care of your pet. I have a passion for animals and enjoy going for morning runs, walks in the park, and can play ball all afternoon.

Jennifer has been our dogs home away from home whenever we travel. We know the dogs love staying with her as they pull us to her door when they get into her building. She sends pictures everyday of what they are up to. We highly recommend Jennifer for your pet staycation.

Jennifer is the best! She is always flexible to work with, so accommodating, and we always trust her with our dog. And our dog pulls when we get to her place — always an indication of his excitement to see her and her love and care for the pets she takes care of! Thank you, Jennifer!

Schedule

I work from home. I normally wake up around 6:30 AM and take the pups out for a walk or to the puppy area on the roof. I work until around noon and go on another long afternoon walk. Around 5:00 before dinner I get out for an evening walk. Before bed we will go out once again.
