We spoil pets when you're away

Pet care experience

I've recruited my wonderful husband to help with the many requests. We want to ensure all pets are taken care of. If I happen to be away my husband, who works from home, can step in so there will be no need to search for another sitter. We have excellent communication so you will always know who is taking care of your pet. If you only want one person then that's understandable just let us know. I grew up lucky to have a mother that let me bring home any animal I found hurt. I've had dogs, cats, birds, turtles, hamsters, mice and fish. I rescued baby 4 squirrels, ducks and a raccoon and was able to return them to the wild through my closest wildlife sanctuary. I started working for a small family owned pet store at 13 years old and worked there for 7 years. We have taken care of many pets and recently moved to NYC. We currently watch friend's dogs for long weekends. While We're not working we are spoiling our 9 year old dachshund. We have a true passion and patience for animals and as we all know each one is special in their own way.

Jennifer did an outstanding job for our two cats. Our recent trip was the longest we've been away since we got them, and they were absolutely fine. No problems whatsoever, and the peace of mind was invaluable while on vacation. Highly recommend Jennifer!

Jennifer helped my cat Annie overcome some of her stray-cat shyness and engage with someone new.

Jennifer took really good care of my cat for almost two weeks. She’s absolutely reliable, very thoughtful, ready to explain and solve any issue. At the beginning I was a little worried since this has been my first experience with Rover, but as soon as she started taking care of Ernesto ? I felt confident my cat was in very good hands. I would totally ask her again if she could take care of him. Overall, highly recommended! Thank you Jennifer! ?

Jennifer took such good care of my cat while I was away! She took the time to meet with me beforehand and familiarize herself with my cat and her routine, communicated about each visit, and was understanding of my cat’s quirks. This was my first time using Rover and Jennifer set the bar high! Thank you!!
