Pet care experience
Me and my Schnorkie Mack love other dogs. We have been working together as pet sitters for over 7 years. I currently care for animals as my full time job as a sitter, trainer, and walker. I take pride in making sure my pet gets the best care including keeping him up to date on shots and giving him a good diet. I have 2 years of Emergency VetMed experience and make sure everyone is always safe. Long walks, playing fetch, tug of war, and just walking around the parks are some of my favorite things to do with my dog and I would love to meet and care for your special member of the family just like they were my own. My schedule is flexible most days so I can be available for pick up and drop off times that are convenient for everyone. Weekday and weekend options available. We have a 1 bedroom apartment and gates that attach to the walls to keep dogs separate and safe if we have to leave them alone. In your home, I will follow your instructions to make sure safety of your pup and your home is top priority. We do not have a fenced yard, but we love long walks. Safety is key so we always make sure we have safe comfortable harnesses/collars before heading out.
Reviews
Can’t say enough good things about Jennifer. She’s extremely patient and loving with my dog Winnie. And she’s so conscientious about making the most of every walk/visit no matter the weather.
Jennifer is the best! No matter what is going on with our pup, she is able to handle any requests we have. We know Reggie is in good hands with Jennifer!
Jennifer is reliable and she is always the best! Never have to worry when she watches our pup.
Jennifer is the best! Amazing updates and we feel so comfortable having her watch our pup.
About Jennifer S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We make sure we are safely locking in our harness or collar with a standard leash for all walks. We are belted into the safety harness for car rides. All dogs are required to have vax proof for boarding. I require a meet and greet for all new clients. I make sure that the door is closed as quickly as possible so we do not have any runners. I bring in any packages or mail to keep those items safe. For house sitting I will shovel snow, open/close blinds, and do daily lights if needed.
Home
Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know if they have any quirks, example "hates men in brown shoes, will not go outside if it is raining, hates passing through alleys or doorways, or sometimes pees when excited." Its always good for us all to know what to expect. I require proof of vaccines before boarding in my home.
A typical day
Lots of playtime with my dog Mack if you are at our house. Lots of long walks. Homemade treats. A big comfy bed to sleep in and tons of belly rubs and snout kisses. If I am coming to your home, you can expect I will be giving lots of loving and getting everything reset to keep your babies happy while you are away.
