Safety, trust & environment

I like to follow what the pet's usual routine is. This allows them to feel safe, and stress and anxiety levels go down quickly once they're used to me. This is what I feel is most important when staying with them. My goal is to bond with them and develop trust for any future visits.

Information Jennifer P. would like to know about your pet

I always make sure to come meet you and any animals in the house before any commitment. I really like to be aware of any of their needs before we agree to a stay. I want everyone, pets and humans, to be comfortable with each other.

A typical day

I love to engage with pets depending on their needs. I love fetch and walking neighborhoods. Snuggles that result in purrs are the best. It's so fun to watch chickens run to you when you bring a big slice of watermelon for them to enjoy. When it comes to reptiles, I have owned snakes, and have experience with lizards and turtles. I have taken care of small caged birds as well. I'm always willing to learn about new animals and their needs.

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for checking out my profile. I have been pet sitting for over 20 years but I'm newer to Rover. I have experience with various animals. Not just the four legged ones. I have cared for aquatic pets and reptiles. I have experience with blind, deaf and disabled animals. I have cared for dogs requiring insulin injections along with many other medications. I'm certified in dog and cat CPR.

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful watching Mika and Lilly! She was so personable and sweet from the first time we met so she could meet the dogs before we left and then was wonderful about providing updates on the dogs throughout our trip! Definitely recommend and will definitely use again!

Jen made this process so comfortable. We met up a week earlier and went over everything. She texted us pictures during the week. She provided A+ service that made our pets very comfortable. Would recommend and use Jen again for in-home pet sitting.

Jennifer did a great job and our pups were very happy! She kindly dealt with us coming home in the middle of the night due to a sick child. Somehow even with our surprise entry home, the house was spotless too. Thank you so much!

Jennifer, We loved Jennifer.Our dog's have never been left alone.So to have to go out of town for a funeral. It was stressful enough. The dog's took to her quickly. And she sent updates regularly. We definitly would recomend her.
