Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable and Paws-itive Care!
I have over 30 years of experience caring for pets, ranging from dogs and cats to small animals like rabbits and guinea pigs, and farm animals like goats and chickens. My responsibilities have included: Daily Care: Feeding, providing fresh water, and administering medication as needed. Exercise & Enrichment: Walking dogs of various breeds and energy levels, engaging in interactive play, and ensuring mental stimulation for pets. Routine Maintenance: Cleaning litter boxes, picking up waste during walks, and keeping pet areas tidy. Special Needs: Caring for shy, senior, or reactive pets, tailoring my approach to meet their unique behavioral or medical needs. Communication: Keeping pet owners updated with regular photos and messages to provide peace of mind. Additionally, I have worked with pets that require extra patience or attention, such as rescue animals adjusting to new environments or pets with separation anxiety. My approach focuses on building trust and ensuring every animal feels safe, happy, and loved. 🐶🐱🐾

I prefer to take care of pets in their own home and keeping to their usual routines. This gives your pets the most comfortable option while they get to know me.
Ratings and reviews
Jennifer was incredible! She took great care of my crew and home. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone. Will absolutely hire her again!
Took great care of my little guy. He took to Jenn pretty quickly and had a good weekend. Really appreciate the care and attention he received
Jennifer took great care of our cat and apartment while we were gone. Highly recommend!
Jennifer did a great job house and cat sitting. I leave directions for sitters and she followed all directions perfectly. It takes a while for my cat to warm up to new people, and this stay was only several days, but my cat did start to come out before the stay ended, and seemed comfortable with Jennifer. Something that’s important for those of us with scaredy-cats. I’d definitely hire her again
Jenn was wonderful with my 3 pups. She is very personable and friendly and treated my dogs very well. I highly recommend using her services.
Jen was amazing! Our dog had the best time hanging out with her whilst we were on vacation. She sent updates and photos throughout the day. We why old definitely book again with Jen!

Schedule
I am opening my own healing and end of life care practice, allowing me a somewhat flexible schedule. I usually am not gone more than 4-6 hours a day, and usually only a few days per week.

- Tell me about your pets quirks and behavioral traits! I want to know how they interact with other animals, humans, and children. Temperament: Whether the pet is friendly, shy, or reactive. Triggers: Situations or stimuli that may cause stress, fear, or aggression (e.g., loud noises, other animals, strangers). Training: Commands they respond to, crate training, or house rules to reinforce. I also want to know about any known medical conditions, allergies, or past injuries. Do they have medications?
