Animal Happiness is My Life Goal

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Jennifer! I'm a 26-year-old Criminal Justice graduate from the University of North Texas. I have two dogs of my own who are my heart and soul. There's no such thing as a bully breed in my eyes. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages, as well as experience with cats and rodents. I'm always available! I have pet care experience as a Pet Care Specialist in the PetsHotel at PetsMart. My duties included stand-in supervision and play time with individual and groups of dogs, administering medication, bathing and nail grinding, providing appropriate foods for dogs with assorted needs in a timely manner, maintaining good health of the dogs, and providing a consistently clean environment for the dogs. I also held a very similar job at VCA Animal Hospital. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover my entire life. I've always wanted a job in a field involving pets. I finally had a dog enter my life when I was 13 and have had him ever since. My other dog, Nala, was a euthanasia list rescue and was definitely a tester of patience, but has blossomed into a beautiful giant girl. I also volunteered at an animal shelter in Houston and worked in the PetsMart PetsHotel, having direct contact with the dogs all day. I've been a foster for a few different rescues in the Houston area, including Great Pyrs & Paws Rescue and Houston Chow Chow Connection. My experience administering medication I'm comfortable administering pills and applying eye drops and ointments. I'm not comfortable administering injections.

Jennifer was great! She made the effort to meet my 2 cats the week before she was set to watch them. That meet-and-greet really helped them get comfortable with her so that even my super shy cat that always hides around new people would come out and ask for pets when she was there! Plus, communion was excellent. Highly recommend!

Jennifer was great!!! I was very anxious about leaving my cat for an entire week. Jennifer came to the house for a meet and greet and they got along famously. While I was away she sent pictures with each drop in visit, and also sent videos as well. It put my anxiety to rest and I was able to enjoy my vacation with the peace of mind my fur baby was well taken care of. Thank you again Jennifer for taking care of my baby.

Jennifer did a wonderful job cat sitting for my two cats! She kept me updated through each visit and sent plenty of pictures. I had piece of mind while I was away from home knowing they were in good hands!

Information Jennifer K. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to be informed ahead of time how prone the dog is to bite or how anxious/nervous the dog is prone to be, as I'll take extra precaution when approaching them. It's also nice to know if there's anything "unique" about the dog, like fear of storms, a particular routine, or really just anything that sets your dog apart from others. I have no breed preferences. :) I know my Rover profile says I don't always send pictures, but I always do, specifically to the personal phones of my clientele rather than through Rover.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog However much is asked of me! I love spending time with dogs and connecting with them. While sitting, the dog will more than likely be by my side at all times unless instructed otherwise. Extra house-sitting services I'm willing to do nearly anything to ensure your pet is happy and you are happy and worry-free. :)
