Dependable Caring Animal Lover
Pet care experience
**Only available for house sitting at the moment. Hey everyone, thanks for checking out my profile! I have lived with animals all my life ranging from Chihuahua's to Great Danes, parakeets, cats, and hamsters. I have 2 dogs of my own who are pitbull mixes, 1 shephard and 1 boxer mix, Bogey and Kane, whom are both rescues. My dogs are considered family, not pets, and I will treat your fur babies the same. I fostered dogs through A Caring Place Rescue and Magnificent Mutts Rescue before adopting my last foster. I have been actively dog walking on this app for 7 years and have 4 consistent clients currently whom I can use at references if needed. I previously was a medical assistant working for a family medicine physician before becoming a stay at home parent. It's definitely unsettling having someone enter your home at first, so a meet and greet is usually scheduled prior to starting so I can meet you and "my client," haha. I am also experienced with medication adminstration so that won't deter me. I'm super flexible so whatever is needed I can work with!
About Jennifer G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will try and keep your routine as similar as possible whether that be walking the same route, or doing the same activities in the backyard. It can be stressful to not have their owner there so I want to make sure they're relaxed in their environment, and most importantly, having fun, getting outside, and getting those potty breaks in!
Information Jennifer G. would like to know about your pet
Things to notify me is if they are not kid friendly or dog friendly so I can be aware and ready when out in public if walking. I do avoid other dogs regardless, but just to know so I can brace the leash if one is nearby. I do have 2 kids who go on their usual school breaks, so they would be coming with me periodically. They are very respectful and love getting to meet all moms new furry friends!
A typical day
I'm open to walking dogs while dog sitting if thats their normal routine. I can also stay and play in your yard if that's what he/she prefers. I'm pretty flexible to what I can do, but I'll try and keep them active while I'm there and won't leave until they do their business.

Availability
I'm in and out of my house daily due to dog walking, so I can easily stop by for potty breaks when I'm house sitting. I can be flexible as my day to day isn't always set, but I am loyal to my current clients whose times take priority. I pride myself on my dependability and being honest. I'm the person who shows up 10 minutes early because I'm afraid to be late, and will rarely cancel a commitment without giving a few days notice. I also have 2 children, a 9 year old girl and an 12 year old boy, who will go on their usual school breaks so they may have to come with me periodically.
