Caring for Yorkies to Newfoundlands
Pet care experience
I graduated from CMU in 2017 and am now working as a Medical Assistant. I have also been a Certified Nurses Assistant for seven years. While I love to help people, I also enjoy spending time with animals of all sorts. I have most availability on the weekends, but plenty of time before and after work on weekdays too. I've been caring for my familys and friends' dogs for many years. I want to make sure your dogs and cats are good hands while you're away. I strive to keep your dogs normal routine intact for their comfort. I've been around dogs my whole life, at one point having as many as four at home and even raising litters of puppies. I volunteered at Roice Hurst for a period of time, walking dogs and socializing both cats and dogs. When I was younger, my family fostered litters of kittens for Mesa County Animal Services. I currently have three dogs at home: Kodiak, the Pomeranian, who is low energy and low maintenance. Bailey, the Texas Heeler, who is hyper and wouldn't ever pass up a game of fetch and Kelty, the St. Bernard, who is sometimes very low energy but will also play tug-o-war like there's no tomorrow. We all enjoy walks around the neighborhood and lounging on the couch together. I am most experienced with the following breeds (but I would love to add to the list): Yorkie, Pomeranian, Border Collie, Corgi, Australian Shepherd, Husky, Hound, Shiba Inu, Lab, German Shepherd, Akita, Saint Bernard and Newfoundland. I will be sure to meet the need of your dogs, cats and/or fish on any visit.
Reviews
Jennifer was great with my dog, she took good care of him, sent me pictures and always communicated with me. Will definitely use her again Cindy B
Jennifer was awesome! When we first met she was warm and kind and I could tell she genuinely loved animals. She watched our two kitties for 10 days while we went on vacation. It was great to get daily updates and pictures and know that they were getting some snuggles and playtime in along with feedings. Both of our cats are younger so they definitely needed some extra attention. Hopefully, Jennifer is available the next time we are out of town... we'd love to have her again :)
Jennifer was reliable, shows up when she says she will, and treated my dog like I do. I could tell when I returned home that my dog had been in good hands, and while she was happy to see me, she was not anxious at all as she has been in the past when separated from me. I would highly recommend her as an overnight sitter.
Jennifer did a great job with my pups! She was able to slowly win over one of my shy chihuahuas and provided updates and pictures of her visits. She was also flexible with my last minute scheduling. I will definitely use her services again!

Information Jennifer R. would like to know about your pet
How many dogs will I care for? Does your dog have a routine? Are there any medical necessities that I need to be mindful of when caring for your animals?
A typical day
If your dog is fit and high-energy, I enjoy hiking during the warmer months. If your pup can't handle the distance, short walks around the neighborhood or trips to the park will do.
