HUGE ANIMAL LOVER WITH EXPERIENCE!
Pet care experience
Hello my name is Jennifer and I am a HUGE animal lover! I was born and raised in the Bronx, NY where I started walking dogs at a very young age for my family, friends, neighbors and any friends they would recommend me too. I would walk their furry friends, bathe them whenever I was asked to, feed them three times a day and provided many overnight care as well! In 2017 I moved to Jersey City, NJ and worked for a dog walking company,Colorfuldogs, up until the spring of 2019. My job was to scan in when I arrived for the dog walks, take pictures of the dogs during our walk and once we returned back to their homes I would have to scan out and write detailed summaries for owners based on their pals walk. Many times without being asked I would take care of the basics, if their dog happens to have an empty water bowl I would refill it before leaving. I walked many different breeds of dogs, did an awesome job handling all breeds and provided many overnight stays at their home with absolutely no problem! After leaving the company I joined another awesome dog company in September, Donovans Dogs! My job had two playgroups every day, during each playgroup I had to pick up a minimum of 3-6 dogs from their home and take them to the dog park. At the dog park I had to observe, play and take pictures of all my pups while also making sure to clean up after them. After a while of playing at the park I was trained to get my group of pups rounded up to leave the park. I would then drop off all of my pups back home and make sure they are left with water in their bowls. I would also email their owners with at least three pictures of their pups time at the park and provide a small summary about their pals time at the park as well. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 the small business lost many clients. Half of my team members were put on furlough until business kicked back up. Luckily I was able to work through the pandemic up until April 2020 when I was reaching my 4th month of pregnancy and decided it was best for me to stay safe at home. After having my daughter I moved back to New York and got back to working as a dog walker on the upper west side.

New favorite sitter! Took great care of my pup and kept me informed with updates and pictures.
As much as I’d love to give her 5 stars because she was friendly, I just can’t do that. After Bella spent 2 days with her, somehow she brung home fleas. As soon as I picked her up and put her in the car, I noticed she was scratching ALOT. We took a closer look at her and noticed she had fleas crawling on her. We took pics and videos of them. Absolutely ridiculous! :(
Jennifer was excellent! She took the time to get to know everything she needed to provide my dog with the best care possible. She provided a thorough update throughout the day and night with pictures and videos. If you’re looking for an overnight sitter, I highly recommend Jennifer. I will most certainly be using her again!
Jen did an incredible job watching my highly active boxer in my home for 5 days while I was away. She was so sensitive to his needs, and spent a ton of time walking him and playing with him. Her daily updates to me about their time together were incredible, so detailed, it left me feeling completely safe and secure that my boy was extremely well taken care of. Even when he decided to go total mischievous boxer on her, she handled it like a champ. I came home to a calm and happy little buddy. Thank you Jen!

When house sitting for clients, walking pups or just doing drop Ins I am very attentive to all of the dogs needs and follow all rules for the home and pup. Wether they need lots of attention or not they will always be very comfortable and given lots of love and care.

A typical day
I am an extremely active person especially when it comes to working with pets. Depending on the service requested our typical day while house sitting would get started at 8am when I would get pups ready for their morning walks. I would take them for a hour walk around any near by parks if allowed and neighborhood making sure they get a decent amount of walking, and running in before heading back to their homes. We would then have breakfast and depending on how active a pup is there will be lots of indoor playing, cuddling and treats given until our next walk during the afternoon when I love to take longer walks and give pups lots of fun things to do like play fetch with a frisbee or ball and race around with the pup. During the evening I’ll give pups their dinner and depending on the pups energy we’ll do a hour and a half walk or longer if needed. Lots of cuddles and love will be given when in my care!
