Animal Behavior BS

Pet care experience

I received a bachelor of science in animal behavior from Indiana University. Right now, I have three guinea pigs. I grew up with a dog, lived with dogs during my time in college, and worked at a pet daycare/boarding facility. Also, I owned a horse for ten years and I love farm animals. I love to take care of my pets and I am dedicating my career to making the human-animal relationship as perfect as possible. I believe pets deserve as much love and care as humans and this is why I am willing to help out and care for your pet! I have been around animals all my life and I understand that each dog is different and I need to adapt to what is best for them. I love animals of all shapes and sizes and no task is too big for me when it comes to caring for your pet.

Jennifer was great with our feline and canine crew while we were out of the country on vacation! She sent us tons of (GREAT) pictures and even got our normally shy kitties to warm up to her. 10/10 would recommend!

Jennifer did drop-in visits for my cat while I was out of town. She took very good care of my Kitty and she sent pictures. She is very responsible and we had great communication. I am very happy with Jennifer and will definitely be using her services again.

Jennifer is such a sweet girl and is amazing with dogs. She takes extremely good care of my dog Louie while I’m at work, walking, feeding, and playing with him. He’s always so happy to see her. I would recommend her to anyone and trust her with my fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a clean person and I will sweep and pick up your house a bit during house sitting if you like! I love giving dogs attention and will play with them and fill their time with enrichments.

Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog had medications and how you normally give it to them! I had a senior dog myself and I gave many medications to dogs while I worked at a dog daycare. I want to make it as comfortable as possible for your pet.

A typical day

I believe that letting your dog sniff and enjoy their walk will give them great enrichment! Also, I can play for hours if that’s what your dog wants or lounge with him/her if they’re more of a couch potato!
