Pet care experience

work from home plant + pet care :-)

A little about me.. I’m a software engineer originally from the PNW. I really enjoy cooking, yoga, climbing, a good book, and furry cuddles. I’m in a place in life where full time pet parent doesn’t make sense so I’m hoping to fill my cup by borrowing yours! I’m also a bit of a crazy plant mom so I’m happy to tend to any needs relating to yard or house plants 🌱

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve watched animals in all stages of life. Typically services depend on what the animal needs. As long as I have a clear understanding of care expectations (walks, medicine, or play time), I can plan accordingly. I also like to have an open line of communication as sometimes animals behave differently when their family is out of town. I lean towards more communication just to make sure everyone is feeling good about the situation. :)

Jennifer was a great sitter for our long vacation. She was responsive, sent pics, and helped our 2 year old dog get to and from her doggy daycare during the day. Both our cat and dog were well cared for! We will definitely use Jennifer's help in the future.

Jennifer was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! From the moment I met her, I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. My dogs loved her off the bat and they are usually quite anxious with new people. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which made being away so much easier. My dogs came back happy, relaxed, and clearly so well loved. It’s obvious Jennifer genuinely cares about the animals she watches, and I would trust her again in a heartbeat!

Jenny stayed with our dogs for two weeks, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Her communication was excellent—clear, consistent, and professional—and she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. She followed all of our care instructions closely, and anytime she had a question, she reached out in a friendly and thoughtful way. Our dogs got plenty of exercise and attention, and it was obvious they were well cared for. On top of that, Jenny took great care of our home—everything was clean and in great shape when we returned. We came back feeling relaxed and grateful knowing everything had been handled so well. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Jennifer was fantastic when she housesat for me over the weekend while I was out of town. She took excellent care of my active dog, Cooper, with plenty of long walks to burn off his energy, timely feedings, and lots of playtime to keep him happy and tired out. She also gave my cat Buck plenty of attention and playtime with his favorite toys. Jennifer sent photos every day, which was so reassuring and helped me relax while I was away. I came home to happy pets and a clean house. Highly recommend her!

Jenny always does a great job watching our dog, Charlie. She is communicative, reliable, and trustworthy. Charlie is always so happy to see her. She's our top sitter and we're go grateful for her!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

As I work from home I have more flexibility in pet care. I love a kitty in my lap while I’m programming. I also like to take walks to move throughout the day. Adding a buddy to that routine is pretty seamless. I used to walk my dogs twice a day, sometimes take them hiking or climbing if appropriate. Remote work makes pet care easy as once I set up I can integrate with existing routines and plan my work day to accommodate me and your animal’s needs.
