Safety, trust & environment

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.

Information Jennifer V. would like to know about your pet

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?

A typical day

I keep the routine as close to your usual schedule as possible. I ensure dogs are walked, petted, nourished, and played with to meet their needs and energy levels. I provide your cats with the attention or space they need. I’ll stay close to make them feel secure and comfortable throughout the day and through the night. Extras: I often send updates and photos to keep you connected with your pets, showing you just how happy and relaxed they are. Whether it’s playing fetch with your dog or coaxing your shy cat into playtime, every moment is focused on their happiness and well-being! Every pet is unique, and I love getting to know their personalities and routines to make our time together special.

Reliable and Paws-itive Care!

Pet care experience

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. 🐶🐱🐾

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
