Animal Care Degree and Experience

Pet care experience

Hello! I have a degree in exotic animal training and management and I sometimes do dog training. I was an animal trainer at the Animal Actors show at Universal Studios, so I normally spent my days with 40+ dogs of all sizes and breeds and many cats! I have also owned dogs and cats of my own as well. In addition to that I've been dog-sitting for other companies for years. I have worked in vet clinics and have medication administering experience. My true passion lies in wildlife conservation, and I recently completed a master's degree in conservation wildlife at Miami University. Currently, I am working at a conservation wildlife center, with my ultimate goal being to contribute to the well-being of animals worldwide. We've added a grooming service to our boardings! This will include a deep cleansing shampoo wash, conditioner, blow-dry, brush out, and scented spritz :)

Jennifer's boyfriend took great care of our cats while we were out of town for a couple of days. He was on time, provided exacting care, and was quick to respond to messages.

They were so fantastic! We were so nervous to leave our little pups for the weekend, but they sent us videos and pics throughout which really alleviated our anxiety. The dogs were so relaxed and looked like they were having a blast too. It was really nice that they were able to stay at our house the whole time, so our dogs were never alone. We will definitely be calling again for our next vacation!!!!

Jenn and Jamie were great! They kept us updated with pictures and videos of our dogs during our trip. It made us feel more comfortable knowing our dogs were home enjoying there time whole we were away and we have them to thank for that! We cannot thank you enough.

I work full time with either 8-4:30 or 9-5:30 schedule. My significant other and I work together on Rover. He is home during the day and if he works it is in the evening therefore we are available for your pets 24/7. We live together in a house with a yard if you do decide to do a boarding with us. If you decide to do a sitting we both stay at the house. He is also on Rover, please ask for a link to his profile if interested.
