Safety, trust & environment

When doing drop in visits, I focus on respecting your space and ensuring your pet is comfortable and healthy - for some, this might mean lots of cuddles and playtime, while for some cats it might be allowing them to safely hide until they feel comfortable with me.

Information Jennifer M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any preferences (of you or your pet!), behaviors to watch out for, or special needs. I want to make sure your pet and home are safe first and foremost, but also know about the little things that can change the experience from good to great for you and your pet.

A typical day

When pet sitting, it really depends on the pet! For some cats, it might be sitting around quietly so they get comfortable with me, while others it’s spending a bunch of time playing. For dogs, I love to go for long hikes through the beautiful trails we have on the island if there are some nearby. Chasing after balls is also a fan favorite!

Pet care experience

I love animals of all kinds, but my favorites are caring for cats while you're away, making sure that they get the attention they want, and walking larger dogs - I love to combine playing with dogs with getting my exercise on local trails, so if you're looking for hour walks I'm your person! I have taken care of animals all of my life, growing up with cats and an energetic Irish setter, working at a city farm/park as a teenager, and teaching horseback riding and caring for a herd of 30 horses in college. Currently have a very curious kitten and some chickens! Note: I only serve Bainbridge Island, given the drive time off-island from the south. Sorry that the radius may show otherwise.

Jennifer took care of my sweet pup for a few hours, including a walk, feeding and some play time. She did an excellent job, provided lots of pictures and updates so I knew my boy was safe and having fun. Thank you Jennifer. (I am a Rover employee)

Thanks for taking great care of Luna. I love the photos and looks like she had a lot of fun playing fetch with you.

Jennifer took care of our two cats for the second time. She communicated clearly and provided standard care.

Jennifer did a great job caring for my stress-prone cat. I was concerned about how he would do while I was away for a week, and Jennifer's twice-daily visits and photos reassured me and allowed me to really enjoy my time away. I came home to a happy cat and will definitely hire Jennifer again.
