Your South City Local Pet Whisperer
Pet care experience
Holistic health practitioner that easily applies my skills and training while caring for your pet! Just like people, animals like being in their natural environment - connected to humans and time and space to explore their environment and nature and of course, with lots of hugs and cuddles! For the past decade, I have helped clients (2 legged!) with anxiety and stress. I apply those same skills to your pets. My specialty is anxious dogs. Energy is contagious. My home and myself offer serenity and calm. Calming music will be played while staying with me. I do not have people coming in/out...just peace. People are always intrigued that animals like to follow me when I am out on walks. Animals have always been drawn to me and I like to think that shows my true self. Even more so than people, animals feel your energy! I have always had pets. Our family always took in strays and I have continued this tradition as an adult. Before I had kids, I had a thriving pet sitting business. Now I have come full circle with my kids grown and wanting to return to nurturing animals. I share custody of my pets (1 dog and 2 cats) with my ex so I am missing having full time pets in the home. I have a home with a large backyard (partially fenced) and my house is surrounded by several parks. I love to walk and enjoy hanging out at my local parks. My home is equipped for hosting pets (beds, toys, etc.). No kids in the home and at the moment, I do not have pets full time in my house so yours will get lots of attention! **For boarding pets: I am not a good fit for high energy dogs that need to run around. My house is only partially fenced and I do work outside the home a few days a week. I prefer dogs that do not need to be crated, are good on a leash, with a calm (mostly!) demeanor. I cannot take aggressive dogs.
Reviews
Jennifer was an exceptional caretaker! My elderly dog Milo fell in love with her. Milo was recently adopted as an older dog and insecure about attachments… And he clearly felt really safe, and then happy to come home as well. Jennifer went above and beyond giving him his medication’s, and eyedrops! I got updates and photos so I could see how well he was doing. I feel comfortable going away anytime and leaving Milo with Jennifer. I’m so grateful to have connected.
Jennifer was great with my elderly dog (who is definitely specific at her age)! I appreciated her patience and great communication.

I offer boarding in my home (pet friendly!). My home has a happy and comfortable vibe. You will be sent lots of pics of your pets lounging and relaxing. I typically only host for one family at a time (my boarding rate reflects that your dog(s) will be my only client and get lots of 1:1 care and attention). No kids and no additional pets in the home. Please check out my photo gallery to see all my happy clients!! I am a laid back, happy go lucky person and your pet will feel it too! Trustworthiness and a good vibe is so important in selecting a pet caregiver. Lot of walks and playtime are included with pet guests (no extra charge!) South city is very pet friendly so your pet will be included in walks and social time. I love caring for senior pets. My home is a one story bungalow with just a few steps up to the front door. I am happy to meet with you and your pet to see if we are all a good fit :) **Due to only taking one family at a time, pending requests must be booked at time of meet and greet. A meet and greet must be scheduled for all boarding requests. Requests not responded to will be archived so I can keep my calendar free. Thank you for your understanding!
Information Jennifer L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know as much as possible about your pet- the more I know, the better I can take care of your pet. Special needs/requests, preferences, what they enjoy doing and do they like other people and animals?
A typical day
A happy dog is one that is exercised and loved. We will explore all the cool local parks as well as hang out and play in my home. There is a park at the end of my street with an enclosed area for playing ball and running around. Boarded/daycare pets receive multiple walks throughout the day.
