Information Jennifer M. would like to know about your pet

Prior to my stay I would prefer to know dietary needs, number of times they need meals, if are they allowed on furniture, and how long they can go in between bathroom breaks.

A typical day

While watching your pets I’d love to take them on walks a couple times a day, or let them play at the dog park if that’s more their style. I love to hike on my weekends and I’m always in need of a fur companion.

Former zookeeper & nursing student

Pet care experience

I’ve worked as a professional zookeeper for the last 8 years at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park but recently left my passion for caring for animals to transition into my new career of caring for people. I am now a full time nursing student while rovering on the side to fulfill my passion for animal care. In addition to my experience in caring for exotic animals, I have experience in caring for dogs and cats with special medical needs that require skills such as masterfully administering oral or topical medications. I am a trained observer as well as extremely patient, and will ensure to earn your pets trust under my care. I’d be happy to walk, play, snuggle, or exercise your pet until their heart is full!

Jennifer is amazing! She has stayed with our dog many times and always takes great care of him and leaves our house spotless. This last time she had an emergency come up and couldn't stay with our dog the whole time, but she went above and beyond to find someone to cover making it completely seamless transition. Thanks Jennifer!
