Availability
Caring for animals naturally fits into my daily life. I walk my own dog twice a day and love being outdoors, so adding extra walks or pet check-ins easily fits into my routine. I work from home/freelance, which gives me flexibility to adjust my day around your pet’s needs, whether that’s a mid-day walk, morning drop-in, or evening visit. I treat pet care as a priority, not something squeezed in, because I know how important consistency and reliability are for your furry family members.

About Jennifer O.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both your space and your animals with the same respect I would my own. I always follow your instructions carefully, from feeding routines to walk routes to house rules, so that your pets feel secure and comfortable. Safety is a top priority: I make sure doors and gates are properly closed, check that leashes and harnesses are secure before walks, and keep a close eye on your pet’s well-being during visits. I also send regular updates and photos as desired, so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is happy, safe, and cared for while you’re away.
Information Jennifer O. would like to know about your pet
It’s most helpful for me to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs. Things like feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and whether they have any medical conditions, allergies, or medications ensure I can give them the best care. I also like to know about their behavioural quirks, for example, how they react to other dogs, strangers, or loud noises so that I can keep them comfortable and safe. Finally, I always appreciate knowing what they love most (favorite toy, game, or walk route) so I can make their time with me as enjoyable and familiar as possible.
A typical day
I love tailoring activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For high-energy dogs, that might mean long walks, fetch, tug-of-war, or brain-stimulating games like scent work and puzzle toys. For more relaxed or senior pets, I provide gentle walks, cuddle time, and enrichment through calm play and companionship.

Pet care experience
I’m an animal-loving, compassionate professional who spends most of my free time walking my cheeky 9-year-old rescue, Brian. I have years of pet care experience but am new to the Rover App. I believe our pets bring us immeasurable joy, and they deserve respect, understanding, and the very best care. My approach combines both heart and skill. I genuinely love spending time with client’s pets and having fun together, while bringing solid training and experience to keep them safe and happy. What sets me apart: • Certified in First Aid & CPR for Dogs and Cats through the Canadian Red Cross • 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments • Strong knowledge of animal behavior and body language, including stress signals and leash reactivity • Skilled in safe dog walking practices (leash control, introductions with unfamiliar dogs, traffic awareness) • Informed in feeding, nutrition, hygiene, grooming basics, wellness checks, and early signs of illness • Experienced caring for dogs through all life stages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors I bring not only expertise but also a genuine love for animals, which means your pet will always be safe, cared for, and treated with kindness.

Reviews
am very pleased Jennifer, everything is fine.
Jennifer took great care of our pets (dog and cat) and kept us very well-informed of how they were doing! Really appreciated the daily pictures and videos she sent as we missed them like crazy!
Jennifer is amazing with Tuna! She’s very caring and I love all the little notes she leaves about tuna’s walks. Would recommend!
Jenni was AMAZING with my senior Italian Greyhound. I really appreciated the updates and photos. I’ll be trying to hire her every time I need someone to help me out with him.
