Experienced dog and cat lover
Pet care experience
I grew up in a home with animals, (mainly dog and cat) and have had anywhere from 1 to 6 all of my life. I currently have a 1 rescue dog (boxer/Pitt mix) and 1 cat (American short hair). I would love to have more, but financially that is not currently possible. I worked for a puppy distributor in high school and can handle their messes. I have cared for my own senior dogs, and realize they can be testy at times, and also realize they have different needs than a younger dog. I have had several dogs with special needs ranging from extreme allergies, anxiety, to blindness and deafness, and even one with a grade four heart murmur. I am attentive and interactive, and enjoy the time with the animals as much as they do! I am patient, consistent, and caring. I am perfect for someone who is not home much or has odd work hours. I can't wait to me you and your pets.
Reviews
Jennifer was great. She came over and played with my animals. She sent pictures of every visit. They were well cared for
We love Jennifer and will definitely use her again! Daya (our European boxer) loves her and it was so great to be able to leave for the holidays and know that our dog wasn’t in a kennel somewhere strange to her but was at home and well taken care of! Jennifer is 100% reliable and goes above and beyond.
Jennifer is an excellent, caring and dependable pet sitter. Shes reliable and takes pictures of our pets for each visit. We know our pets are being cared for when were gone. I highly recommend Jennifer!!
Jennifer is an excellent pet sitter. She provides excellent care and our pets like her. She is dependable and we know our animals will be taken care of when were gone.

Safety, trust & environment
I always like to have a meet and greet prior to our first walk and or check in. I ask some basic questions about the pet, and you are free to ask me anything you need/want as well. I like to know what you and your pet are comfortable with and what if anything to avoid. I know routine and consistently are important.
Information Jennifer J. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences. I love them all. I do understand that each dog is different and each one has different needs. If there are any specific allergies or illnesses I would prefer to know. If there are specific commands or rules in place, I will stick to those. Anything I might need to know about them specifically (i.e. How they are handled, how they respond to new people etc) is always a plus!
A typical day
I can walk wherever my cusomer prefers. If they are in a neighborhood and would prefer to stay there, I can. I can always take them to a park or around the area I live. I am always up for a game of tug, or fetch! I know cats can be very anti social with new people, but will always try to intrigue them to play or enjoy some ear scratches.
Services
Jennifer can watch in your home
Availability
I work from home, and can take my lunch hour whenever it is convenient to pop on over for a walk or check in. I do have a toddler, who would be with me most evenings and weekends for visits, so if your pet is not kid friendly please let me know, so I can make arrangements. Most weekends I am available for the majority of the day.
