Availability

Because I’ve spent 20 years in veterinary medicine, caring for animals is second nature. I’m used to structured routines, time-sensitive tasks, and being fully attentive to each pet’s needs. I schedule my days to ensure I can provide dependable, high-quality care—whether it’s once-a-day check-ins, multiple walks, or pets that need extra support or monitoring.

Information Jennifer J. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your pet has any special needs or “quirks”. What is their temperament like? Are they scared easily? Food aggressive? Animal aggressive? Hip issues? Blind? Deaf?

A typical day

I tailor each day to match your pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s structured walks, playtime, medication, or quiet companionship, I adjust my schedule to ensure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for.

20yr Vet Tech Experience

Pet care experience

I come from a lifelong animal-loving household and have shared my life with cats, dogs, and many other animals my entire life. I’ve also been caring for animals professionally for over 20 years. While living in South Florida, I built a large pet-sitting clientele while working as a veterinary technician in a general practice. After relocating to Volusia County, I spent 16 years working in emergency veterinary medicine as both a technician and a manager. I’m now based in Palm Coast, new to Rover, and working toward making pet sitting my full-time career. I have a strong understanding of medical conditions and the specialized care some pets require. I know how stressful it can be to trust a stranger with your pet—especially one with medical or special needs. I’m experienced in administering medications, giving insulin injections, performing blood glucose checks for unregulated diabetics, and managing feeding tubes. I’m trained to safely handle pets with medical needs, behavioral quirks, anxiety, and specific routines. I’ve also had my own pets with conditions including heart disease, kidney failure, diabetes, urinary blockages, and seizures, so I truly understand the worry that can come with leaving a medically fragile pet in someone else’s care. My goal is for you to rest easy knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands. When entering and exiting your home, I take extra precautions by ensuring your pet is safely away from doors to reduce any risk of accidental escapes. I also remove pet waste and dispose of empty food cans off-site, so you return home to a clean, odor-free space. I’m committed to providing safe and loving care while you’re away. If you need services on a day I currently have blocked off, please feel free to message me. I’ll always do my best to accommodate your needs as I continue growing my clientele.

As always Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of our senior cat while we were away. She made sure to keep a close eye on our old gal’s medical conditions and I felt at ease knowing she was there.

Jennifer continues to provide top notch care for our elderly cat. Her experience and attention to detail make us feel at ease leaving Charlie in her care.

Jennifer is the perfect pet sitter! She is quick to respond to requests and messages, is reliable, and able to take good care of your fur babies while you’re away. She did a fabulous job taking care of our senior cat who requires a bit extra in terms of medication and care. Jennifer’s extensive background knowledge in veterinary medicine is also a major bonus. She has a calmness with animals and they feel at ease with her. We will definitely rebook with Jennifer and highly recommend her services. Thank you for taking such good care of our Charlie!
