Pet care experience
Check me out on IG: jennifers_pet_services On Tik Tok: jen_from_oakland -I live alone, no pets in my house. -I offer services for dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, critters, and pocket pets. -I work full time in the pet industry. I am able to take pets to work with me. They are safely confined in our office, a crate, or exercise pen when with me at work. Dogs I sit must be crate trained or OK with being in a crate or exercise pen. -I live in a mobile/prefabricated home. It looks like a tiny home. I have 3 outside stairs and special needs dogs would be carried or assisted up and down. -My floors are wood, but 80% is covered with non-slip rugs and carpet. - My home is calm, clean, and quiet. I only use non-toxic cleaners in my home. - I do have a small outdoor space/yard with low fencing. I only accept dogs that are comfortable on leash and relieving themselves in small patches of grass and are comfortable walking on concrete. -I do not accept dogs that could be aggressive towards humans, including the occasional "nipper". I started at 12 years old plant and cat sitting for neighbors along my paper route. I watered plants, fed cats, cleaned litter boxes, fed fish, and brought in mail. To this day I take care of neighbor's pets and homes. I had a little pug that who eventually became deaf and disabled due to disc disease. She was the love of my life and passed away at almost 16 years old in 2019. I am comfortable administering medications, eye drops. I am patient with both people and animals. I can handle a dog with special needs. I have no criminal history. I am a notary public, so I have passed FBI and Department of Justice fingerprint and background checks. I have a car with a perfect driving record and full insurance.
Reviews
Jennifer took good care of Roxy for a couple of days, sending us updates. We’re happy with the experience, as Roxy had fun exploring a fun place and picking out her treat.
Jennifer went above and beyond when watching my two cats in my home for the holidays. She followed instructions perfectly and took the initiative to clean up a mess my cats had made. One of my cats is normally very distrusting of strangers but Jennifer won her over quickly and both cats were very happy throughout the visit. I loved the videos and updates she provided daily. I returned home to happy cats and a clean litter box! Without hesitation I would book her again.
Jennifer took great care of our dog Rainy, was super responsive and sent videos and photos that made it obvious Rainy was having a great time. Highly recommend Jennifer’s services to all pet owners out there. Her love for animals is apparent, and animals feel that too!
Our furry friend was in good hands. He found a new friend in Jennifer. She’s easy to communicate with. She kept us updated on his stay. Jennifer was flexible with our drop off and pick up times. We will certainly not hesitate to call upon her services in the future. Thanks Jennifer, you rock!
