Career in Animal Care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Jen, and I share this Rover account with my partner, Jamie. He also has his own Rover account if you’d like to check his references. We work together on all Rover jobs, so if you book with us, both of us will attend the meet and greet. We believe having both of us present is beneficial, especially if your pet needs round-the-clock care. I hold a degree in Exotic Animal Training and Management and have experience as an animal trainer. Previously, I worked at the Animal Actors show at Universal Studios, where I cared for over 40 dogs of various breeds and sizes, as well as many cats. I also have experience working in vet clinics and am skilled in administering medication. My true passion lies in wildlife conservation, and I recently completed a master's degree in Conservation Wildlife at Miami University. Currently, I work at the Los Angeles Zoo, with the ultimate goal of contributing to the well-being of animals worldwide. Note: Our pricing is negotiable. If you have a pet that is particularly easy to care for, or if your pet has special needs, we can discuss the details and adjust the pricing accordingly. Feel free to reach out so we can find a solution that works for both you and your pet. We are looking forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your pet!

Jamie helped us out by looking after our shih tzu and cat during a week long trip. The 2x a day home drop-ins he provided went smoothly, without a hitch. We returned home to a happy dog, mail brought in and trash taken out. We'd call on Jamie again for any future travel plans.

Jennifer and Jamie were great! They checked in on our two kitties while we were out of town for two weeks. Jamie also sent additional photos everyday, took our trash out and brought our mail in. We really appreciated knowing our angels were in good hands!

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.
