Highlights
Pet care experience
All Animal Friends Welcome!
I deeply love all kinds of animal companions (the furry, scaly, and feathery! I have been around animals my entire life. Not only has my family owned pets, but I spent about 8 years in the 4-H dog program training both of the family dogs. I have even trained my current cat to do a number of commands. I have worked at a pet boarding place, PetSuites, where I cared and watched over dogs and cats ranging in all shapes, sizes, states of health, ages, and attitudes. Aside from room cleaning and basic animal care, the boarder also provided group play sessions and puppy preschool. There were two play sessions: Large Group (for large dogs over 45 pounds) and Small Group (dogs under 45 pounds). The groups could have anywhere from 5 dogs to over 30 dogs at a time! My job was to watch them to make sure they did not fight, did not eat anything they were not supposed to, and not get overheated or too cold. Each dog had a different temperament so you had to adjust with the group dynamic at all times. In puppy preschool you made sure all of the puppies were not being too rough with their play and would practice basic commands like "sit" with them. I also love cats and took care of them at work and for other people. If you have any animals other than dogs and cats, I would be most happy to care for them, too. I have cared for horses, fish, guinea pigs, rabbits, snakes, birds, cows, chickens, goats, turkeys, and pigs. My heart is welcome to all animals. Even spiders.

Safety, trust & environment
I am not currently offering to have pets stay at my home as my apartment complex would not allow it without notice and also for my cat's comfort. When I care for you pet, I always try to give them my devoted attention either through play, walks, training, grooming, or petting. I will send photos or videos to you daily or each time I visit them and give updates on their general care. I always try to give them as similar care to your style as possible so as to help your pet be as comfortable as possible.
Ratings and reviews
Jenny loves animals. She has a great deal of compassion and sense of responsibility. She has taken one of her own dogs through 4-H obedience, showmanship, and agility training. She has also had real work experience with pet care.
Jenny is extremely reliable, loyal, very trustworthy, & loves animals!! She not only took care of my dog & my cats but she also took care of my boarding stable with several horses when I was out of town. I never had to worry because I knew she would be on time & she always made sure the animals had plenty of food and water!! Jenny has always been a very responsible person, even at a very young age as she was in High School when she started working for me. She never missed a day & she always showed up with a smile. I know that if I'm in a pinch I can always rely on Jenny to house sit, feed horses, or whatever is needed.

Schedule
Currently I work at a garden event venue. We are closed for the winter so I have availability most every day. When Spring returns I can be available in the mornings, evenings, and weekends as my job is flexible with my hours as long as I get the work done.
