Jennifer took great care of Storm for an overnight stay. It was his first time and also it was a very last minute request and she was wonderful. She sent pictures and kept me up to date.

This was my first time using Rover and Jennifer’s service was awesome! She agreed to watch him at last minute’s notice. I love her backyard playground for the fur babies. The pics she sent helped me feel comfortable and secure leaving JB in her care. I would definitely use her services again!

Jenn is such a sweetheart! She took on watching my two senior cats at the last minute due to a family emergency, and although they generally hide from catsitters, they seem to have really liked "Miss Jenn's" check-ins! Such a relief to know they were in good hands, and it took one thing off my mind at least during a chaotic period. Thanks Jenn!
