Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have been caring for animals since I was a teenager, giving me over 25 years of experience. I believe my rates reflect the quality of time, care, and attention your animals will receive. I have had experience with administering medication and caring for elderly dogs that require extra assistance with walking and using the bathroom. If you have an animal that requires special care, I will be happy to meet with you and be trained on how to administer that care.

Jennifer did a great job watching our fur babies. Gave me peace of mind so we could enjoy our son’s graduation. Will definitely use her again for pet sitting needs and highly recommend.

Jenn was fantastic! She took great care of my Newfoundland, Bella, and kept me updated with regular messages and photos. I could tell Bella absolutely loved spending time with her. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!

Jenn was great with Jazper. He doesn't accept many people and she was so awesome with my giant guy. We were gone for 2 1/2 weeks, and she showed up without fail, kept us informed of any issues and gave us a report every day. She is reliable, kind, compassionate, and trustworthy!. I highly recommend Jennifer!

I was so pleased with the level of care and service that Jennifer showed me and my animals. She did a wonderful job and I will definitely use Rover when I need someone I trust with my animals. Thank you, Jennifer!

I have a cat with Megaesophagus that requires complicated hour-long feedings. The purpose of this meeting was to go through the process and see if it was something she even wanted to tackle (she did as she likes learning new things and had already looked up information about the condition) Things did not go perfect because I was talking a lot explaining details, there were two people in the room switching out, and Murray is not very sociable to begin with. I believe it will go better if she is by herself. Because of her attitude, patience, and my unsociable cats didn't run and actually interacted with her immediately, I will trust her to do a feeding in the future (and that is not a decision I take lightly.)

Schedule

I am 39 years old and have lived with dogs my whole life... I wouldn't have it any other way! I know the importance of keeping dogs up with their normal schedules, so I try to stick with it as closely as possible. I have recently moved to the Decatur area to work part-time at an internship for a state department. I also work at Publix part-time. I have become skilled at managing my responsibilities with both my work and my pet sitting business. I won't take a job unless I know your pets will get all the love and care they deserve. I do need advance notice, but sometimes I'm able to manage last minute request.

Jennifer can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
In my experience, the first house sitting period or drop-in visits are a bit of a learning curve. I learn about the pups personalities and preferences. Keep that in mind because I will most likely be asking plenty of questions. I also need to know their typical daily schedule, specifically feeding times, activity times, and if applicable, medication times. Finally, I would like to know as many commands and/or hand gestures that you use with your dog, especially if they are a puppy.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
