Highlights
Pet care experience
20yr Vet Tech 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.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
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!
As always Jennifer is our go to dog walker. She is both professional and very caring with our little guy. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
What can we say, top notch! Jennifer truly cares about the animals she takes care of! Time after time whatever is needed she takes care of our little guy, from baths to offering to dole out medications if needed. You can tell she's an animal lover. Thanks Jennifer!
Jennifer was awesome, she went above and beyond for my 2 cats while I was away and made me feel at ease. I will definitely request her services in the future!

Schedule
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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Pets in my home get treated like part of the family. I create a relaxed environment where they can settle in quickly, get lots of love, and feel comfortable. I keep routines consistent with what they’re used to—feeding schedules, walks, and quiet time. Whether they want snuggles on the couch or their own cozy spot to relax, I make sure they feel safe and cared for throughout their stay.

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.
