Pet care experience

Only the best care for your pets!

Hi there, fellow Fur Families! My name is Jenna and I am an animal enthusiast and experienced animal care provider. I have experience caring for all types of domestic pets (plus experience with exotics and wildlife!) I have volunteered for zoos in both Florida and Alabama as well as a wildlife center, also serving as a docent for the Gulf Breeze Zoo many years ago. I missed my calling earlier in life to be a veterinarian, so I am getting ready to go back to school to first obtain a masters in zoology then work my way toward veterinary school. I do not remember a time in my life when I wasn't taking care of animals. I am from a family of small dog breeders, first with cocker spaniels when I was very young and then with schnauzers into my teen years. I assisted with births and puppy care starting when I was a young teen and spent my younger years spending all of my time with our cats and dogs. I started grooming our schnauzers when I was 12 and worked for a groomer for a short time when I was in college. Family and friends consistently come to me with any of their pet questions (particularly when related to dogs) and I am usually their first choice for caring for their pets when they are out of town. I am available for drop-ins or daily walks. I can even work from your home on my work-from-home days if you would like someone to be with your pets all day in the comfort of their normal surroundings.

Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy spending time with your fur babies while you are away, playing and getting to know them! It matters to me that they are excited to see me come and sad to see me go. I want them to be as happy and comfortable in my care as possible!

Third time booking with Jennifer. She accepted our last-minute request, communicated wonderfully throughout the stay, and sent plenty of photos and updates that gave us peace of mind. My dog was clearly well cared for and happy. Reliable, responsive, and genuinely caring—I would definitely book with her again and again
