Pet care experience
I have a deep passion for animals and understand the needs, demands and differences between older and younger dogs and cats. I am very familiar with administering medication and understand when an animal isn't feeling well and needs special care and attention.

This was our first time booking through Rover and hiring Jen. She put me completely at ease after speaking and I knew she was the best choice even before our first in person meeting. She is warm and friendly as well as a total professional. She sent daily videos and pictures of our girls and we felt so comfortable with her in our home. We came home to an immaculate house and really happy dogs. I booked her for the rest of the year’s trips already. You couldn’t ask for more.
Jen was absolutely outstanding during the recent boarding experience of my Australian Shepherd, Wrangler. He stayed at her home for 8 days in late April/May 2024. We initially did a local meet and greet with Jen and her sweet dog Fred and I could tell right away that Wrangler liked her and felt comfortable with both of them. He’s usually shy about meeting new people and dogs, he barks a lot and won’t allow anyone to get close—but Jen worked her magic and it didn’t take long before he was gobbling a few treats out of her hand and allowed her to pet him. Jen was super friendly, caring, and organized, during Wrangler’s stay. I received daily photos and/or videos and regular updates about their daily activities and also how he was doing overall, whether or not he was eating well and his general health. This is so important and gave me the assurance that my pup was in really good hands. Also, Wrangler is a special needs dog. He’s almost 6 years old but he has a neurological issue which affects his walking ability and going up stairs, stability on slippery surfaces, and during car rides. Jen was very supportive, nurturing, and attentive, she helped accommodate his specific needs at her home and secured Wrangler during car rides. She also took extra care to make sure he was kept safe during their outings and prevented any potential issues (such as other dogs jumping on his back or too many strangers petting him which he doesn’t always respond well to). When I picked up Wrangler, he was very excited to see me but also seemed very comfortable hanging out with Jen and her gang. I’ve boarded Wrangler with other sitters and he always looked anxious and stressed out, and was itching to leave right away. Not this time! He was a happy, relaxed, and tired pup, and I owe that to Jen’s special care and attention, and highly recommend her to anyone looking for long-term boarding or daily sitting care.
Jennifer is absolutely PHENOMENAL! We received daily updates, videos and photos of both my girls and they had an absolute blast with her. When we met we warned her that my little one can be very shy and tends to hide from people she doesn't know. Jennifer went out of her way to bond with her and she warmed up and felt secure in no time at all. Amazing! She made sure each of my girls got plenty of attention and play time. She was very respectful of our home and made sure to leave it clean and tidy and even ran a load of laundry so we could come home without the need to do any chores. She was an absolute dream to work with and we look forward to booking with her in the future! =)
Jennifer was fantastic with our dogs. We were very nervous about leaving our dogs (a German Shephard and Havanese) with a sitter and Jennifer eased any anxiety. She communicated through out the visit and was really mindful of both dogs personalities / needs.

I am retired, so I am home during the day. I also have two fur babies of my own, a Dachshund and a Jack Russell Terrier. They keep me on my toes and I love them very much. Dog care is a daily part of my life working or not. I take my dogs for walks and attend to their needs everyday.
