Thoughtful & Precise Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have taken care of dogs, cats, lizards & birds since I was 8 years old. I have a passion for working with animals as I myself have a cat & know how much I worried when I recently went on vacation and used Rover for the first time. I had a great experience with my sitter and am hoping to offer the same services that can tailor you & your loved ones needs!

Jennifer was beyond great. We have a very picky English bulldog and she stayed with him for five days, you can tell that Bennett loves Jennifer. She cared for him as if it was her own pet. Very responsible and she was sending us updates quite frequently. Definitely recommend her. She will be our dog sitter/ house sitter from now on.

We are so appreciative of Jennifer for taking care of our senior dog while we were away! She went above and beyond in sending us pictures, cleaning up after him, and taking him on walks. Jennifer was even flexible when our return was delayed. She will be at the top of our list next time we need help.

Jennifer has taken great care of my Australian shepherd on a few occasions. I appreciate her giving him the attention and care he needs & deserves. She handles him well on walks and is overall a very responsible pet-sitter.

Jenn has watched my pups and cats many times over many years. When I had two beagles (now I have 1), she loved and cared for them as if they were her own. I know she has had many animals herself and it shows. My pets are my babies and I am very, very picky about who I entrust them to. Jenn is my first choice every single time. I highly recommend her to anyone who loves their pets and needs someone who will love and take care of them 100%!!

Safety, trust & environment

I believe meet and greets before services begin are necessary. I also know proper ways of introducing myself to animals like bending down, holding out hand, etc. I let animals come to me, as I have had an aggressive dog in the past, and know how to handle them.

Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet

I am very flexible with my schedule. Please let me know when you'd like to schedule a meet and greet and how I can make the transition easiest for you and your loved one.

A typical day

I love playing with pups & kitties! I love being eye to eye with dogs & ensuring that playtime is fun and safe. I also love a good game of tug of war. Catch is also so so much fun. With kitties, I like feather toys, light up toys, and creating new landscapes for them to explore (boxes, blankets, etc)
