Jennifer can care for
Availability
Pet care is my daily routine! My fiancé, our dog, and I travel full-time across the country for his work, ( I will be the only one caring for your pet) so my schedule is completely flexible and built around animals. Mornings start with me walking and feeding our own pup, then I’m free all day for drop-in visits, walks, or overnight stays with your pets. Afternoons and evenings are the same — I’m almost always within a short drive and ready to help whenever you need me. I never have conflicts with a traditional job, appointments, or commuting. Your dog (or cat!) for however long you’re away, will be getting the same love, exercise, and attention I give my own. Reliable, experienced, and always available — that’s how pet care fits into my life every single day.”

About Jennifer J.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat your house with the same respect I expect for mine — shoes off, counters wiped, lights/temperature left exactly as you like. • Double-leash walks, secure harness/collar checks before every outing, and I carry a pet-safe first-aid supplies at all times. • 28 years of experience means I’m calm in emergencies and know the warning signs of distress, bloat, seizures, etc. Whether at your place or mine, your pet gets the same love and vigilant care I gave my own dog through her cancer journey — they’re never just ‘another booking,’ they’re family while they’re with me.”
Information Jennifer J. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the very best care, learning these details ahead of time will make everyone feel more comfortable: • Any medical conditions, medications (dosage, timing, and how they prefer to take them), or past health issues (like allergies, seizures, or mobility needs). • Daily routine — feeding schedule, portion sizes, favorite treats, walk length/preferences, and potty habits. • Personality quirks: Are they fearful of thunder/men/strangers? Do they resource guard food/toys? How do they react to other dogs or cats? • Favorite activities and comforts (toys, games, cuddle style, or safe spots when anxious). • Emergency contacts: Your vet’s info, plus a backup person if you’re unreachable. • Any training commands or house rules you want me to follow consistently. The more I know, the smoother and happier everything goes — I’ll always ask follow-up questions to make sure I’ve got it all right!
A typical day
Every pet gets fun tailored just for them! • Adventure walks or gentle strolls — sniffing new trails, exploring parks, or playing fetch with their favorite ball. • Interactive playtime: tug-of-war, puzzle toys, treat-hiding games, or flirt pole sessions for high-energy pups (I’ve trained protection dogs, so I know how to channel that drive safely and positively). • Brain games and basic training refreshers — practicing tricks, nose work, or even simple agility with household items. • Cuddle sessions, belly rubs, and storytelling (yes, I talk to them!) for the lap-loving ones. • Outdoor zoomies in a secure yard, bubble chasing, or splash time in a kiddie pool on hot days. • For seniors or low-energy pets: calm massage, window-watching with treats, or just peaceful companionship.

Pet care experience
Animals are my life — I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, horses, and livestock, I’ve been caring for pets for as long as I can remember (28 years professionally I started pet sitting at age 16 ). I’ve trained and competed in personal protection with dutch Shepherds, lovingly nursed my own Cane Corso through colon cancer, and raised countless puppies and cared for senior dogs with patience and medical know-how. Whether your pup needs structured walks, medication, extra cuddles, or just a calm, experienced friend, they’ll be treated like family in my care. Reliable, strong on safety, and 100 % devoted to happy, healthy pets.”
Reviews
Jennifer is a total gem! She took amazing care of Gunner with so much love, long walks, and constant updates while we traveled. You can tell she’s been around animals her whole life — our pup adores her. Highest recommendation!
“I can’t thank Jennifer enough for loving my Diesel like her own while we were away. The daily pics, spot-on medication timing, and he came home exhausted/ happy from all the fun and cuddles. If you want peace of mind and a happy dog, she’s your person. 10 stars!!!
