Pet care experience

Experienced Care for Beloved Pets

I bring a lifetime of hands-on, practical animal care experience being the mama of a multi pet household. I’ve raised five puppies from very young ages (around six weeks), guiding them through early routines, house training, and consistent care. I’m also experienced with senior dogs, including those who require daily medications, supplements, and a more attentive, gentle approach. As now empty nester I have channeled my caregiving towards my 2 border collies. I love to hike and get out everyday to the hills to hike with my pups. I am very observant , and pay close attention to any stress, hesitancy and changes in behavior, appetite, or energy. I understand how important routine, calm energy, and clear communication are especially for young, aging, or sensitive pets. I’m comfortable and used to caring for multi-pet households and a wide range of animals. My goal is to put your mind at ease while you are away from your pet and provide the same care love and attention they will receive from you so both you and your pet will feel secure.

Safety, trust & environment

prioritize safety, routine, and a calm environment when caring for pets. I follow each pet’s established routine closely, pay careful attention to doors, leashes, and household safety, and keep pets in familiar, low-stress environments. I communicate clearly with owners and reach out promptly if anything seems off. My goal is always to provide steady, thoughtful care in a safe, low-stress environment so pets feel secure and owners feel confident while they’re away.

Jennifer was incredible! Quick to respond, flexible with a last-minute request, and great with my cat who can be a real pain. 5/5! I look forward to working with her again in the future.

We’ve been so happy with Jennifer taking out our new puppy on days we can’t make it home from work. She’s super responsive and gives us lots of details and photos from her visits. It’s such a comfort knowing our growing and developing pup has a friendly caregiver to look after him when we need some extra support.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work from home as a children’s illustrator, which allows me to run my own schedule and plan my day around feeding times, walks, check-ins, and companionship rather than squeezing them in between meetings. I’m present throughout the day and able to adjust as needed to maintain each pet’s normal routine.

I like to know about a pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. This includes feeding schedules, medications, mobility issues, quirks, fears, or anything that helps them feel comfortable. I also appreciate knowing how they do with new people, other animals, and being alone so I can make our time together as smooth and stress-free as possible!
