Availability
I primarily work from home with a flexible schedule and am based in Bed-Stuy, serving nearby neighborhoods. This summer (May to July), I will be traveling and will have very limited availability week-to-week. My calendar shows my availability. Because my schedule can vary week to week, I always confirm availability as quickly as possible. Feel free to reach out, and we’ll find a schedule that works well for you and your pet.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I closely follow each pet parent’s instructions to ensure your furry family member feels secure, happy, and cared for in the way they’re used to. Consistency is important, so I stick to their regular schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care needs. Beyond the basics, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment that matches your pet’s personality—whether that means playful energy, extra cuddles, or quiet companionship. I believe clear communication is key to great care, so I ask thoughtful questions upfront to make sure everyone feels at ease. My goal is seamless, stress-free care, so you come home to a happy, relaxed pet who feels safe and well loved.
Information Jennifer V. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care possible, I appreciate learning about your pet’s routines, personality, and any special needs. Please share any quirks, fears, triggers, favorite activities, or comfort items that help them feel at ease. If you have a preferred walking route or specific way to communicate with your pet, I’m happy to follow it. The more I know, the better I can care for your pet in a way that feels familiar and comforting to them.
A typical day
I tailor each day to your pet’s energy level and personality to keep them happy and engaged. For active dogs, that often includes walks, playtime, and fresh air—always with safety as a priority. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I focus on gentle movement, mental stimulation, and interactive play using their favorite toys. Whether it’s a fun walk, a game, or quiet companionship, my goal is to make sure your pet feels cared for, entertained, and comfortable while you’re away.

Caring for your fur baby!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Jenn! With over a decade of experience caring for dogs (both big and small), cats, and even fish, I bring a nurturing yet structured approach to pet care. As a lifelong animal lover and devoted cat mom to five wonderful felines and 2 dogs over the past 25 years, I understand that pets aren’t just animals, they are family. Whether your furry companion needs extra cuddles, medication administration, or someone to chat with while you’re away, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I love engaging pets through play, snuggles, and even teaching them common Spanish phrases! While I can be firm when needed, my goal is always to create a secure, enriching environment tailored to each pet’s personality and needs. Beyond care, I use my marketing background to provide detailed, engaging, and storytelling-style reports after each walk or stay so that pet parents feel truly connected to their furry loved ones even when they’re apart. As a proud “funtie” (fun auntie) to my nieces and nephew, I bring that same joyful energy to the pets I care for, ensuring they feel loved, entertained, and well cared for at all times. If you're looking for a sitter who treats pets like family, I’d love to be their dedicated funtie while you're away!

Reviews
Jennifer is always taking amazing care of my cat Malcolm and is such a friendly and considerate sitter. Thank you again! :)
Jenn is great! She is consistent and reliable. We are happy repeat customers, and we always feel better knowing our cats are being taken care of by her.
Jennifer responds fast and easy to communicate. She is very patient with my dog Copper who is sometimes stubborn.
Jenn is great, and great with our cats! She provides thoughtful Rover cards, and great pictures. We always feel more comfortable being away knowing Jenn is watching our cats.
