Safety, trust & environment

I will happily follow all of your directions when taking care of your pet. I am a trustworthy person and will not invade your privacy. I will focus on making sure your pet feels comfortable and happy while you are away!

Information Jennifer O. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to accommodate to any pet requiring special assistance, and I will not feel nervous because of my years of experience working with my dad at his vet clinic. My main preference is knowing if your pet is aggressive with humans or other animals so that I can make sure to be extra cautious, and make sure your pet feels comfortable during my visit.

A typical day

With your permission, I would be happy to take drive your dog to a nearby nature trail and allow them to sniff new smells outside their neighborhood. I will be happy to play in their yard with toys, play in sprinklers, or take them for a dip in a local pond if they like swimming. Any adventure you feel comfortable with, I will take your pet and they will have a blast.

Pet care experience

I am so excited to meet your pet! My parents have run their own vet clinic for over 30 years and I have been lucky enough to learn beside them. I have assisted in countless appointments and surgeries and feel extremely comfortable with all types of pets, including puppies, kittens and seniors requiring medicine. I have pet sat for many clients I've met through my years working at the vet clinic and I would love to continue my passion for animals while I am away at school. Whether it is an overnight stay, a walk on the bike path, or just a relief visit, I feel confident your pet and I will become quick friends.

Jennifer is great! She was communicative and kind. Our dog was very happy when we got home!

Jennifer was such a great petsitter for my Great Dane and three cats. My dog was immediately trusting of her and she was so caring and attentive to him. I don't always allow people to walk my dog because he's so large, but she was very able to handle him and listened to instructions well; you can tell she has a lot of experience with animals. Jennifer was willing to go around our schedule and come at our requested times. I highly recommend her!

Jenn is a wonderful dog and house sitter! We have gone on 7-10 day vacations multiple times, and have left our Samoyed puppy with her from the ages of 6 months- 3 years. She brings him on multiple walks per day, and sends photos of fun outings they have together. Her dad is also a vet, so I always felt very confident that she could handle any medical emergency, and had easy access to her dad’s veterinary knowledge. Our dog has had a variety of issues, and Jenn gave him antibiotics and other medications while we were gone. She also watched our 18 year old cat, that was dying of kidney disease, and gave her medication 2x per day. Before Jenn watched our pets, she watched our children- from birth to tweens. She is a very friendly, responsible, and trustworthy young lady, and I feel lucky that our family has benefited from her care throughout the years.
