Safety, trust & environment

I am very attentive to pets, I look for signs and observe their behavior. I am calm, and allow the cat to come to me, and try to make them feel as comfortable. I can feed, play, clean litter box, help groom (brushing) and administering any oral or topical medication.

Information Jennifer R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if there are any illnesses, or behaviors issues/temperament which would help me understand your pet better. I can work with you to make sure they are properly cared for

A typical day

I love to make sure they receive a lot of love and attention. Also playing with them is a big must! Any kind of cat toys to stimulate them and make sure they are hunting their prey!

Pet care experience

I have over 5 years of experience with felines. I am the go-to pet sitter for my family members as well as friends. I take exceptional care of feline friends, and treat them as my own. I have experience with administering oral medication for pets as well as topical. I am also very well versed and always learning about cat care techniques.

Jennifer did so well with our kitties and paid great attention to detail. From noticing behavioral changes to offering to water plants around the house, she truly put care and attention into everything. Thanks for being so attentive and making sure to play with Gigi every day so Mac could be left alone to be the grumpy old man he is.

Jen was wonderful, and was able to really connect with my cats. She also was able to adjust schedule when ours changed which we really appreciated. Will be booking with her again!

Jen was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! Friendly, dependable, and fantastic with our dogs. Communication was clear and consistent while we were away, and we truly appreciated the thoughtful updates, photos, and care she shared. We’d happily trust our pups with her again—highly recommend! 🐾
