Calling All Fur Parents

Pet care experience

Hi there, I am Jenn, an Ontario born Victoria gal with a plethora of experience in many different fields and a passion for animals. I have had the pleasure of taking care of creatures of every kind, including rats, ferrets and chinchillas. My experience with pets has been a life-long adventure which started with 2 fish and a gerbil. Since then I have also cared for many creeds of dogs. This includes 3 rescues, two of which are the ever-so-misunderstood Stafforshire/pit bulls. One of these included the family staffy named Abby during my teen years. I would have one again in a heartbeat! During my late teens I had a friend who had 3 cats and a dog I would sit for her family while they were on holiday. A few summers ago I house/pet sat many cats and dogs around the London area, and I was even lucky enough to spend time with 3 goofy felines and 3 chinchillas in Germany over Christmas one year. Through my pet-sitting and owning endeavors, I am lucky to have learned body languages and to have experienced many different personalities. Also, I am very active, so you can rest assured that your pets will get all of the exercise they need, and of course, cuddles! I am proud pet mom of a fish named Alphie the Beta the 3rd. Unfortunately in my home I can't have anything bigger, otherwise it would be a pitty, all the way. I would love to be able to have your pets at mine, but then it's a pleasure to care for animals where they are at home

Jennifer did a truly amazing job taking care of my two boys for a week over Christmas this year. This was my first time having someone house sit and care for my dogs in the home and the experience couldn't have been better! She was very understanding, accommodating and patient with all my detailed instructions and requests. I received updates and pictures every day which was really appreciated and the house was gleaming clean when I returned from my trip. The dogs were well cared for and loved while I was away and being able to stay in their home instead of a kennel was clearly more comfortable and less stressful for them. Would 100% recommend Jennifer for any of your pet sitting or house sitting needs. I will definitely be booking with her again. 5 stars!!

Very happy with Jennifer's sit for my dog over a weekend while I was away for a wedding. She was very communicative, lots of photo updates, and I came back to a very happy and comfortable pup.

This is the first time I have used the service and Jenn made it a smooth & comfortable house sitting for our Dog & Cat for 3 nights! She was great at giving us little updates each day with pictures. When we came home our animals were at peace and could tell they had a great time with Jenn! now that we know the ropes and have trust in her services we will definitely book with her again on our next little getaway!

Safety, trust & environment

In order to maintain safety I will follow all protocols that you have put in place. For example if you crate at night, I will do the same. Even if you do let them off leash during walks I won't do this for the first few walks, at the very least, until I have established a relationship and am confident that they will come when requested. Safety first, always! You're still here? Great! If you write 'Ive read your profile' in the sit request this will communicate to me that you are serious about your inquiry. MUCH APPRECIATED!

Information Jennifer L. would like to know about your pet

Things I want to know about your pet is their preferences for fun, if they have any physically sensitive areas, if they are on medications, if they have any fear/excitement triggers. Thanks for reading! XD

A typical day

I love to take pets to their favorite place. A good day is playing fetch, maybe a little tug-of-war, top it off with a belly rub.
