Pet care experience

Dogs, cats, & everything in between

I’ve spent my entire life caring for animals, and that’s shaped me into someone who shows up for them especially the ones who can’t advocate for themselves. Over the years I’ve helped stray cats, done dog runs for rescues, participated in pulling dogs from kill shelters, and volunteered at local organizations where I take neglected or anxious dogs out for walks and hikes to help them decompress. Caring for animals isn’t a hobby for me; it’s something I’ve always felt responsible for. What sets me apart from other sitters is the combination of hands-on experience, patience, and calm confidence with animals of all backgrounds. I’m comfortable with puppies who need structure, senior pets who require a gentler approach, and animals who come with trauma or nervous behaviors. I pay attention to body language, adjust my pace to each pet’s comfort level, and make sure they feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for. Your pet won’t just be looked after, they’ll be treated with the same compassion and commitment I bring to every animal I’ve ever helped.

This was our first experience boarding our dog. We were nervous at first but immediately after talking to and meeting Jennifer we knew our dog would be in good hands. Jennifer has a very good system set For dogs to be safe and happy and feel at home. We were very pleased

Jennifer was awesome! We have a big dog and a small dog and felt so comfortable leaving our boys with Jennifer and her family. Our dogs love attention and they definitely got plenty of it from Jennifer and her kids. Jennifer sent us updates and pictures so we always knew what they were up to. She took such good care of them and even brushed them during their stay. Would definitely recommend and happy to have found a dog sitter that we can trust!

Jennifer was amazing with our dog, Tank! She sent regular photo updates, took him on walks, and was so accommodating when our pickup time changed due to an unexpected traffic. Her communication was excellent, and it was clear Tank was well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!

Schedule

Caring for others is already at the center of my life. I work full time taking care of my three little kids, and I build my days around making sure my kids and animals get the attention, structure, and care they need. When I’m looking after an animal, they’re fully integrated into that routine, whether that means feeding, walks, playtime, quiet time, or any special instructions you have. I have a genuine passion for helping those who need a little extra support, so I’m used to adjusting my schedule to meet each animal where they are. Whatever your pet requires, I make sure it fits smoothly into the flow of my day so they feel safe, cared for, and part of the family while they’re with me.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in my home, they have plenty of space and stimulation throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard where they can run, play, and explore safely. There are always toys and treats available, and my two friendly dogs provide great company for any visiting pup. My three kids also love helping out and make sure your fur child gets lots of attention. I focus on maintaining a safe, comfortable, and structured environment that helps each pet feel at ease. I will follow your instructions closely feeding schedules, routines, quirks, and any special needs so your pet’s routine stays consistent.
