Safety, trust & environment

I only house sit! This keeps your fur child calm, happy, and content. I like to keep your fur child’s life as regular as possible. I walk daily 3x and keep their schedule as close as I possible can.

Information Jennifer J. would like to know about your pet

I do not accept on demand walks or last minute bookings! I do not have a breed preference, but I would like to be welcomed into your home with your animal next to your side. I am a firm believer of building a relationship with your fur baby before accepting a booking. I want to make sure your fur child and I are a good fit. I will follow a schedule that is consistent and routine so he/she knows that I’m going to be there to give them their exercise and fun.

A typical day

I love the great outdoors! If there is a lake or pond, that is where you will find us! Walking, rollerblading, playing fetch or snuggling :)

Animal lover

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with large breeds since I was a child. I lost my 120lb boxer three years ago. I got him at 8 weeks and he passed away due to stroke at age 9. Since I do not have a pet currently, I would love to care for someone else’s animals while they are at work. I believe animals deserve play time and exercise just like humans to be a better companion. I treat them like children and like a family member. I am available mornings into early afternoons. Summer and Fall you will find me roller blading with your pal! All year round you will find me playing fetch/ snuggling and giving your best friend the best possible attention to while you are away.

We cant find the words to express how grateful we were to have Jennifer watch our two furr babies, full blooded Labradors. We have never left our kids with anyone before, so it was a pleasure to have her in our home with the kids for 8 days and had not one worry! She sent us pictures and updates daily, which was wonderful to see how happy the kids were. Even with it being cold outside, she threw the ball for them and played with them. Not only did she take fantastic job watching our kids, she kept our home in tip top shape, and I have the worst case of OCD and I would have her back with no questions asked!!! If you want the VERY BEST, go with Jennifer, you will not be disappointed, worried or concerned about anything. She also did things in my house like vacuumed, mopping, and ran errands for me. She has the most upbeat personality and super likeable! We hit it off right off the bat.
