Pet care experience

Full-time Cat Momma

So my life basically revolves around cats!😋 I currently have two boys of my own- Graw and Pancake🫶🏻 I've lived with, "owned" (oh please, they own you! 😹) and loved cats for over a decade. As l've been pet sitting these past couple years, l've become very passionate about wanting to make a career in working with cats🙂 I'm currently focused on cat-sitting full time, and do Instacart in my downtime to stay available. When I'm not working, I'm reading about cats, volunteering with rescues like the CNY Cat Coalition and CNY SNAP, and of course hanging out with my own cats😻 I have big plans for the future too- like owning my own company, having cozy boarding facilities, maybe even a cat cafe! I did try to warn you that I'm a crazy cat lady😹

Safety, trust & environment

As every cat is different, my approach is to take things at their speed always. I’ll gladly play, snuggle, provide chin scratchies, etc! But I respect their boundaries and will even work with them to come out of their shell:) I bring around a goodie bag of toys, treats and catnip so you know we’re in for a good time (heehee!) No matter what, I’m there for them basically as an emotional support human while their family is away:)

Jennifer was great as always! She's reliable, always sends thorough updates (with pictures), and always leaves Zoe some extra cat toys which is so sweet. Highly recommend!

This was my second time booking with Jennifer to watch my cat while I was away. I have zero complaints. She is very attentive and considerate. She leaves detailed notes and will check in if she feels that something is off! I have a very particular cat and she is very patient with him. I can’t recommend her enough and I will continue to book with her until further notice!

Jennifer is dedicated to the services she provides. She exceeded my expectations and I will definitely entrust her to care for my companion animal again in the future. Not only did she take it upon herself to arrange for a meet and greet before my trip but she sent detailed notes while I was gone, including pictures and videos (which in and of themselves told me visually everything I needed to know). Jennifer really took the time to get to know my cat while demonstrating care and concern for her well being. Additionally, she seems to intuitively understand the psychology of cats and was able to offer some helpful advice with some of the behavioral issues I have been encountering with my cat as part of a recent move to Syracuse from out of state. Jennifer is very personable, communicative, and easy to talk to, which is important because entrusting someone with access to your home can be an issue in and of itself. I had no concerns. Thank you!

Jenny did a wonderful job watching our cat while we were away. Jenny was patient, hard working, and went above and beyond to provide updates and keep Boots comfortable while we were away. We would highly recommend her and she will be the first person we contact for this service!

Jennifer is great with our kitty, and she helped make sure our kitty got his meals and attention even as our plans changed. It was super comforting to know our little cat was well taken care of!

My top priority is cat-sitting, and I need to be available for when I’m needed!:) Everything else that I do (gym, volunteering, chores, whatever!) lets me remain flexible to be there when you need me!:)

Cats
Jennifer can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
The more info the better! I’ll need to know feeding instructions and medications if needed. Do they have allergies/can I bring treats from home? Any places they aren’t allowed, spots they don’t like touched, favorite toys, typical hiding spots.. Any details you want to provide, I’ll happily read it all!😊
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
