I work remotely so I can house and pet sit during the week. If just doing a check-in, I’m happy to check in on pets during the day, and I’ll always make sure to spend some time with them in the home so they don’t get too lonely.

A typical day

I love to make sure your pets are happy! Whether that is by going on frequent walks or just chilling by the couch, playing games with feeding times or just making sure they eat.

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful. She took exceptional care of my cat, Mya, and kept me updated throughout the entire stay with messages and photos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. She was kind, professional, communicative, and clearly cares deeply about animals. The biggest compliment I can give is that my cat, who is normally very shy and doesn’t trust many people, became comfortable with Jennifer. That meant a lot to me and showed how patient and caring she was. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I would absolutely book her again. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable to care for their pets. Thank you so much!

Jennifer was fantastic with our dog Stella during our week away. Before the stay, she came by for a meet-and-greet and took a very thorough inventory of Stella’s routine, medications, and care needs. As owners of a dog with an autoimmune disorder that requires daily medication, that attention to detail gave us tremendous peace of mind. Throughout the week, we received daily updates and photos, and it was clear Stella was having a great time! We came home to a very happy dog and a spotless house. We’re so grateful for Jennifer’s care and professionalism and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!!
