Information Jennifer O. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs, mobility issues, typical behavior on-leash, training, or medications that I can account for in preparation to care for them.

A typical day

I love to cuddle on a dog bed on the floor or on the couch and give lots of attention. We play fetch, tug, and set up licky mats with peanut butter or soft food. I set up baby pools in the yard on hot summer days. I like to go for walks to let the dogs get al the good sniffs.

Pets

Dog mom, cat lover, other pets too

Pet care experience

I am an animal lover, through and through. Dogs, cats, hedgehogs, birds… you name it. I treat my guest animals like my own and love on them as much as possible. I enjoy taking cute portraits of the pets in my care and I send lots of photos and written updates. I currently have a female Aussie/Pit mix, currently fostering a female Blue Doberman, and have had Doberman Pinschers in the past from puppies through old age until the rainbow bridge. I’m patient with puppies and elderly animals. I check to see which commands they know and how they have been trained to keep them consistent in my care, and have experience administering medications to them. Before joining Rover, I frequently dog and cat sat for friends and family.

Jen is wonderful! She is so great with all dogs, and especially with nervous rescues. She’s patient and calming and they can just tell they’re safe with her. Pups get the fun and exercise they need with Jen and the calming snuggles too! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing care for their critters!

Jen is amazing with my cat Dexter. He tends to be a bit spicy at times and yet Jen interacts with him with ease. Dexter loves when she comes over to play and cuddle. Dexter is a special kitty and requires several meals a day, medication twice a day, and lots of love and attention. Jen is amazing, and Dexter and I love her!!

Jen watched our four cats for us multiple times and each time she is always attentive to each cats individual needs and wants, as well as being sure to take care of all of our requests and follow instructions we have left. Jen gives each cat special attention and makes sure all their needs are met. Jen has always been timely and responsible and showed our cats love and attention in our absence. I have also had the opportunity to see Jen with her own dogs, they are well trained, loving, healthy, happy dogs who sure love their Mom! Jen goes above and beyond and you really can tell she is an animal lover.

I love working with Jen! She is super professional and clearly has a deep love for animals (both dogs and cats). I love that she’s someone I can easily trust with my fur babies and I don’t have to worry about them being well cared for when I go on vacation. Definitely recommend her!!
