Boarding • Aug 10, 2026

Jennifer and Irvin were THE best. I had to leave my furbaby with them very early in the morning and pick her up later in the evening, and they were super accommodating of that. They’re both super sweet humans and clearly care so much about their own animals. They sent many pictures and I know my baby was well taken care of.

10 stars!! Jennifer jumped in after we had a last-minute cancellation and saved the day! She was an amazing communicator and took perfect care of our pup… who is literally smiling in every picture. So incredibly grateful for her flexibility and time today.

Jennifer and Erwin were AMAZING! She was lovely and communicated with me quickly and clearly. She took great care of my kitten. She even washed my kittens blanket!! Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter.

I can’t say enough good things about Jennifer! She goes above and beyond, and even adding a last minute pet due to a boarding issue wasn’t a problem for her. She’s great at communicating and she takes great pictures. She had never met my GSD before her first visit but he took to her like an old friend. My animals were well cared for while I was away and I’m glad I found her

Jennifer always goes above and beyond for my animals, wouldn’t ask for anyone else and I’m sure my pets would say the same.

Schedule

As long as a client communicates, we can accommodate! My off days from my career are Thursday and Friday and I work 3pm-11pm (evenings). My lunch periods are VERY flexible, and I'm free anytime during my off hours. I'm the primary caregiver, and Irvin will help me as needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a full fenced in yard, so caring for dogs isn't an issue. I can crate a pet if requested, and have multiple crates available at my home if one is needed so owners don't need to carry them. We know they're heavy!

Pets

A typical day

Depending on the breed, I entertain the animal I sit for differently. For Boardings and drop ins, after basic pet care is done, and if the pet doesn't need my attention at the moment, I'm known to clean randomly to help owners where I can (dishes are my main go to). For dogs: Slower breeds or older dogs will just be a walk and simple command practice with possible interactive toys. More high energy breeds will be longer walks, more interactive play, and more advance trick attempts to burn off energy. Cats are more simple as I make sure they're fed, clean water, and clean their litterbox daily. I'll also lay out toys for them to play with in a specific area so that they'll be able to play whether I'm there or not. Cats I board will be in my bedroom as they often prefer privacy. Later on, they're welcome to explore the house if they choose to.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
No females in heat
Jennifer & Irvin can host up to 7 pets per night
It's very important that I know of any behavior triggers, medical issues, special notes, or activity requests ahead of time. We will not accept aggressive dogs or dogs that are reactive to other animals. I'll often bring my own treats for your pet, so if they have dietary or allergy restrictions, please let me know prior to my visit or meet & greet. I'm happy to provide overnight care and walks for any dogs I pet sit for. On walks with large breeds that may pull me over, Irvin will be with me at no extra cost. Safety for your fur baby is always first!
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.
