Jennifer is a really caring and loving pet owner/sitter. She gave Marvin plenty of attention and exercise. He really enjoyed his stay with Jennifer! Highly recommend.

Schedule

After a recent career shift, I’ve found myself with more flexibility in my schedule—and I’ve decided to dedicate that time to doing something I LOVE! I’m excited to spend my days surrounded by wagging tails, happy purrs and plenty of personality.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety First, Shenanigans Second! Your pet’s safety is my #1 priority. Since my yard is unfenced, outdoor time is always supervised—no solo backyard adventures on my watch. For extra security, I use a 125-lb-rated ground lead or a long leash held securely in hand, and I prefer dogs to wear a harness while in my care. Better safe than chasing a runaway squirrel down the street. On walks, I’m always keeping an eye out for distractions, triggers, and anything that might turn “nice stroll” into “OMG, WHAT IS THAT?!” I use positive redirection when needed and follow your pet’s routine, cues, and preferences as closely as possible.

Pets

A typical day

Adventure mode: Activated! I like to keep pups busy, happy, and having the kind of day they’d brag about at the dog park! Adventures are always tailored to your pup and might include dog park visits, car rides, neighborhood strolls, pup cup runs, exploring a quiet field, or splashing around in the river. Hanging out at home? We can toss the ball, play with favorite toys, conquer a puzzle, or settle in for a very serious tug-of-war championship. Whatever we’re doing, there will be plenty of positive reinforcement, happy chatter, patience, belly rubs, and playtime. And of course, professional-level napping is always encouraged.

Tell Me All the Things! Every pet comes with their own personality, preferences and routines. Is there a medication schedule? A food that absolutely cannot be touched? A mysterious fear of the vacuum? A sworn enemy in the neighborhood? Please share any medications, dietary restrictions, health concerns, triggers, special instructions, or quirky habits so I know exactly what makes your pet tick. The more I know, the better I can keep them happy, comfortable, safe, and spoiled while you’re away.
