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!

Information Jennifer & Irvin W. would like to know about your pet

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!

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.

Hello, I'm Jennifer. Since I was 8 years old, my whole family had a range of pets, including: dogs, cats, fresh water fish, iguanas, and birds. Irvin and I have currently been fostering for the last 17 years and work alongside the Tuscaloosa Metro Animal Shelter when needed as foster parents.

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.
