Safety, trust & environment

It is important to me to meet you and your pet prior to our rover sitting! I want your pet to feel comfortable in their own home with a stranger there so please tell me about your pet. If they don’t like being pet too much, not an issue for me. I am heavily adaptable and can deal with a kitty that likes to bite or a puppy going through teething. Pets are just like humans and have preferences and need personal space. It is important to me that I am prepped to respect your babies schedule and routine :)

Information Jennifer H. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know any training you’ve been working so I can mimic your training practice. Routine is very important to animals so I’d like to respect that. No breed preferences

A typical day

Depends on where you live. If your pet has a favorite park, corner, whatever they love most, let me know - I’d love to take them there and make them as comfy as possible while you’re away.

Pet care experience

Thank you for considering me! I am an animal lover and would love to get to know your fur baby. I’ve also been told I take top-tier pet photos :) and my mom has called me a cat whisperer since I was a child. I just moved to Ankeny and work from home for a furniture company. Animals are my second love in life and I am excited to get to use that as a supplemental income! I have 10+ years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including potty/puppy training. As a fellow animal parent to my kitties Stanley and Lambo, I know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet when you aren’t able. I promise to treat your animal with the same care, respect and love as you do. I am looking forward to creating a partnership with you and helping you take care of your animal.

Jenny was great with our cats, even our shy girl! We appreciate that she was patient and communicated with us when there was a snag getting access to the house on a cold night!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
