Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting for your dog I would love to know their temperament and if they have any allergies or special needs. All dogs must be on a flea and tick medication. Meet and greets are required for any overnight stay longer than one night. I want to learn all about your pup to ensure they have a fun dogcation!

A typical day

I love playing outside with pups. If you’re close to the beach and your dog's a beach bum we can go swimming and walk on the beach. I love to walk and try to go on at least two 30 minute walks a day. If you have a fenced in yard, we can play fetch. If your fur baby's more of a couch potato, we can snuggle and watch tv together. Snack time is big in my house (with your permission of course) your pup can have a special snack too!

Family Style Pet Care

Pet care experience

Before moving to Florida, I built an amazing repeat clientele in San Diego and have loved continuing that here in South Florida over the years. I have always been an animal person, and caring for pets has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I enjoy volunteering at the local animal shelter, which has given me even more experience with dogs and cats of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I genuinely love getting to know every animal and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I recently lost my fur baby, Lani, who was my absolute best friend. Because of her, senior dogs hold a very special place in my heart, and I understand the patience, routine, and extra care some pets may need. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I always try to match their comfort level and routine as closely as possible. Services offered: • Drop-in visits • Dog Walking  • Pet sitting in your home Please message me ahead of booking so we can make sure timing works well for everyone. I try to stay flexible with scheduling because I know life and travel plans can change unexpectedly. For the safety of all pets, dogs and cats must be current on flea and tick prevention as well as vaccines at the time of service. *Dog walking and drop-in pricing may vary depending on distance.* Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Jennifer is AMAZING! I couldn’t be happier with the care my my cat (Lily) received! From the very first visit, it was clear that she truly loves animals and takes her responsibility seriously. She gave me so much peace of mind while I was away—sending updates, photos, and little notes that made me feel completely at ease. My cat, Lily, who can be a bit picky with new people, absolutely adored her! It was such a relief knowing she was not only well cared for but genuinely happy. I highly recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and loving cat sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again! 🐾💛

Jennifer was AMAZING with my Labrador. She followed instructions, provided great updates, and took amazing photos. I felt comfortable with Jennifer and was pleased with the care she provided. She has a genuine love for dogs, which was evident during our initial meet and greet. I came home to a happy and healthy dog! Jennifer was punctual, attentive to detail, and friendly. I highly recommend 😊
