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 share my home in Groveland with a 17 year old son (who is also a huge animal lover, like his Mama!) a German Shepherd, a Doberman, a Shepherd/Husky mix, a Havanese, a miniature dachshund, 2 cats, a ferret, and a Senegal parrot. I offer pet sitting in my home - or yours - and 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. *For the safety of my pets, any animals boarding in my home will require confirmation from your veterinarian that each pet is up to date on vaccines, including Bordetella.*
