Safety, trust & environment

In an effort to alleviate any undue stress, I will keep to the same schedule you have created for your pet(s). I will walk dogs at every visit and will clean litter boxes at every visit as well. I have reliable transportation and will be at your home to care for your pet(s) at the pre-designated times we have agreed to. Every visit will be a minimum of 30 minutes and you have the option to extend a visit, if desired.

Information Jennifer W. would like to know about your pet

During our initial meet and greet, I will go over some standard questions to help me get to know your pet and their routine. I prefer to stick to their normal routine as much as possible to keep you and your pet the most comfortable. Since I have been pet sitting for many years, I have experienced just about every possible “watch out” and am prepared to get all of the necessary information needed prior to your departure. This will ensure smooth visits and no stress!

A typical day

For dog pet sitting, I will take your pup on a walk at every visit (weather dependent). This will allow them to get their energy out, while also alleviating any accidents in the home. For cats, I will clean the litter box at every visit. I will also encourage play with your pet’s favorite toys. Should I find an accident, I will clean it up so you don’t come home to any messes. If necessary, I will medicate your pet at no additional charge. I will also retrieve mail daily, set out/bring in garbage bins, and adjust blinds and/or lighting to make it appear that you are at home. For a nominal fee (and for compliant pets only), I will perform a nail trim and bathe your pet prior to your return.

Animal Loving VETERINARY TECHNICIAN

Pet care experience

My clients will tell you I am well worth the cost of my service! What sets me apart is that I am DEPENDABLE, I have a vast amount of veterinary experience (special needs pets are no problem), and I communicate effectively and promptly. Most importantly, I give my clients a peace of mind which is priceless! They know their pet(s) and home will be well cared for and loved while they are away. Read my reviews - I strive to be the best in the business! I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and aspired to be like my grandfather who was a veterinarian. I worked in the veterinary field for over 25 years as a registered veterinary technician, receptionist and hospital manager. I have also been pet sitting on the side for two decades. I am detail oriented and will provide top quality care for your fur babies! I don’t want you to worry while you are away so I will send you updates and photos at each visit. I will care for your pet and home as if they were my own.

Can't say enough good about Jen. She is compassionate. She is on time every time. She follows instructions perfectly. She is excellent at communicating. I feel like she really cares about my furry pal. I also feel like I can trust her, which is so important to me! I am so happy I found her!

This was our first time using Jennifer's pet sitting service and we loved her. More importantly, our shy cat Lilly loved her! Jennifer is a true professional. Her gentle approach won Lilly over. She is reliable, punctual and took great care of Lilly. We will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend!
