Availability
I take my 8-yr-old dog Jane for long walks in Prospect Park every morning, where we explore the variety of environments. I try to birdwatch and she chases squirrels. When we’re at home, she curls up with our 18 year-old kitty, Alice, and sometimes they even hang out with Ruth, our rescue lizard. My life centers around these critters!

Safety, trust & environment
I am always keeping an eye on my dog, cat, and lizard to make sure that nothing is wrong, their needs are met, and that, most of all, they are happy and comfortable. I will give your pet the same TLC and look after them exactly as you ask. I would say that they won’t even know you’re gone, but we all know that’s not how it works with pets and their people! Most importantly, they will be safe and loved, and I will treat your home with the respect it deserves.
Information Jennifer M. would like to know about your pet
Please provide a snapshot of your pup’s personality: does he try to eat everything on the street? Does she bark at bigger dogs? Info about energy level, anxiety, bathroom preferences, reactivity, etc., all help me take the best possible care of your dog. For kitties it’s also helpful to have a picture of their personality so I can approach them accordingly. It’s also good to know their favorite foods, whether anything is verboten, preferred hiding places, etc. Of course, any info about your pet’s health issues, medication, special needs, etc., should be shared. I will take such good care of them!
A typical day
I live near Prospect Park and frequently take dogs there. It is dog heaven! However, I also love to stroll my pups around Brooklyn’s streets. Even if yours can only go for a few blocks, I’ll change the route to provide stimulation. We all know that dogs love to sniff, but they also NEED to, and I indulge that need. If a pup wants to stops every couple of feet to sniff, that’s fine; I don’t rush them. Activity level will be tailored to your dog, but I can play fetch till the cows come home, sit and watch the squirrels, hang out in a pack or solo - it’s all fun! I am happy to bathe and brush, clean teeth and ears, and can administer meds from pills to IV fluids. When it comes to kitties - I love just spending time with them and do so on their own terms. Cat lovers know that kitties respond differently to new people, and I respect that! In addition to taking care of their basic needs, I’ll toss toys, give tummy rubs, hang out on the sofa with them - and who doesn’t love watching a cat attack a feather on a string? I gently coax my shy kitties to engage, but if they want to hide, I just sit quietly nearby. Often they come to me, but I don’t try to make them do anything they don’t want to do. As if that were even possible with a cat!

Reviews
Jennifer was an absolute sweetheart with Reginald! You can tell she genuinely loves and cares for cats, and Reggie clearly loved her too. I really appreciated her detailed updates and photos throughout each visit, they gave me such peace of mind. She followed all my instructions perfectly and was respectful of my space while I was away. Jennifer is professional, personable, and exactly the kind of sitter you want caring for your cat. I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving cat sitter!
Jennifer is THE BEST! I knew from the moment I met her that my boys would be in good hands, and I am so grateful for the incredible peace of mind she gave me while I was away. She truly went above and beyond to take care of them—cleaning their water fountain when they dropped food in it, picking up more treats when they ran out, and keeping me updated on their finicky stomachs. She also sends the most WONDERFUL updates with the sweetest, silliest photos. I could tell that Bobby and Jasper really enjoyed spending time with her (and I've never seen them warm up to someone so fast!). It is so clear that caring for pets isn't just a job for her; it is a genuine passion. I will definitely be booking with Jennifer again!
Jennifer is the BEST!!! Thoughtful, kind, loving, and so trustworthy. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a proper vacation without feeling guilty/worried about how my mochi is doing until now. I fully unplugged and knew he was in the best hands. Eternally grateful and sticking with her forever!!
Jennifer was so kind and loving to my cat as soon as she stepped through the door and spoiled her every day when she visited. Would 1000% have her back to take care of her next time!!
