Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable care, at affordable rates!
Hello, my name is Jennifer. I'm 32 years old from Tremont, Illinois. Ask anyone who knows me, and they'll tell you that I'm a compassionate, dedicated, and hardworking individual with a broad range of skills in animal care. My lifelong passion for animals started young. I began caring for and training them in grade school. I was a volunteer at TAPS for five years, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs. I also assisted under a licensed veterinary technician for two years, where I gained experience administering oral, topical, as well as ear and eye medications, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with specific health needs. Whether it's handling, training, or providing medical support, I'm confident in my ability to provide top-notch care for animals, where I will always aim to make every pet feel safe and loved while their pawrents 🐾 are away. I appreciate you taking the time to review my profile, and for considering me to care for your fur babies. 🐶 I look forward to hearing from you soon! ☺️

Ratings and reviews
Jennifer was amazing with both of my dogs! I will most definitely be using her again!
Jennifer has been a true blessing to my baby Diesel and to me. I unfortunately had a sitter cancel on me at the last min before my 4 day trip for my birthday, but Jennifer accepted my request to watch my baby. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my baby Diesel after speaking to her on the phone. She put my mind at ease and was a God sent. Once we met in person she made me feel comfortable and asked if she could send updates, and if course she sent updates but also pics of Diesel. My baby was content and happy in her care. I definitely recommend Jennifer if you need a sitter and she will be my sitter from now on. Thanks again Jennifer from Diesel and myself.
Jennifer was wonderful with Murphy. She sent us lots of updates and photos. She was transparent and wonderful to deal with.
Jennifer stayed at our house for 8 days while we were on vacation. She took great care of our 5-year-old German Sheperd and treated him like family. She was very good about sending pictures and giving updates. I will certainly try to hire her again when we plan our next vacation.
Second time that Jennifer watched Maggie, and no regrets at all, she is an amazing and understanding petsitter, I really can tell that Maggie is in good hands. The care and love to our puppy was absolutely wonderful.
Jennifer took excellent care of our cockapoo, Toby! She is a great communicator and sent me lots of pictures of their activities:) She has a real love for pets and Toby got lots of attention! 🐕🦺💞

Schedule
Pet care is my top priority. I'm committed to balancing each pet's unique needs, whether in my clients' homes or my own. From feedings and medication schedules to evening playtime, I'll provide consistent, quality care tailored to every pet. That said, I work two days a week starting at either 3:00 or 4:00 PM until I’m finished for the day. I am still available for both boarding and house sitting. For boarding, your dog will stay at home with my mother while I’m working, so they will not be left unattended. For house sitting, your dog will need to be comfortable being alone for up to four hours.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Given the nature of my services, I will adhere to and utilize the existing systems and protocols established by my clients for the care and well-being of their canine companions, ensuring consistency and familiarity for the animals in my charge.
A typical day
Boarding and Daycare: Your furry baby(s) will stay with me in my home, receiving plenty of love, care, and attention. I'll provide comfortable accommodations, regular feeding and potty breaks, administer medication if needed, and give lots of playtime, exercise, and snuggles. For Boarding and Daycare, please note: I live with my grandmother so we are a calm household. We're best suited for up to two, medium to low-energy dogs. Dogs who like to play are totally fine, but we can't accommodate dogs that need constant high-energy activity. I also kindly request no blind dogs, not because I have anything against them, but because, just like humans, they know their home layout best. To ask them to navigate a new home where they don’t know the layout isn't fair – they're safer and more comfortable at home. House Sitting: As a house sitter, I'll stay at your residence 24/7 to care for your pet, providing companionship and ensuring their needs are met. Regular feeding and potty breaks, administer medication if needed, and give lots of playtime, exercise, and snuggles. House sitting note: I will not house sit for people who smoke inside the home, or have cats. Dog Walking: On a 30-minute walk I’ll provide exercise and mental stimulation, including a mix of walking and playtime. There is also an option for a one hour walk. All of these come with a guarantee that I will spoil them rotten. 😉
