Pet care experience
Caring for your fur baby!
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!

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.

Jennifer was great watching my cat Gigi! She sent lots of photos and kept me updated while I was gone!
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.
Jennifer always takes great care of our dog. She’s super professional, punctual, and our dog loves spending time with her. We know he’s in good hands when we book Jennifer as our pet sitter. I also really appreciate detailed reports and lots of pictures. Highly recommended!
