Information Jennifer W. would like to know about your pet

I have experience caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. That said, I am only comfortable providing oral medication to dogs and cats. If your animal requires an injectable, I can refer you to another provider! Also, if your animal is wary of strangers or has a habit of aggression against people he or she doesn’t recognize, I would kindly ask that we schedule a meet and greet prior to determine if the pet is a good fit .

A typical day

A typical day under my care includes plenty of exercise, lots of pets/snuggles, administration of food, water, and medication ( if applicable), and fun with toys! I always adjust recreation to fit the breed/age/ and temperament of the animal(s) in my care. If your pet enjoys socializing with other animals , I’m happy to pack a frisbee and drive to an open field or park if all parties feel comfortable.

Pet care experience

Hi All! My name is Jenn:) I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! As a child, my family adopted a labrador retriever and I assumed a lot of responsibility for his care. As an adult, I have rescued two Pitbull mixes and have provided the level of extra love, attention, patience, reliability and consistency needed for them to thrive! Currently, I am a proud cat mom to two adorable and high energy siblings. After adopting cats of my own , I feel very well rounded in terms of my care experience ! I recently moved to the Staunton VA neighborhood which affords me the opportunity to take your dog on walks with plenty of beautiful views and /or access to pet friendly parks. Needless to say, lots of opportunity to give your pet some great exercise and time in the sun! As an experienced pet sitter and dog walker, I offer a stimulating and loving environment where your pet will receive one on one special attention, snuggles, good exercise, and quality play-time. I prefer to care for pets on a one on one basis to ensure the safety of all and provide personalized and enriched care. That said, if you have more than one pet in your home, I'm happy to be there for all! I am open to working with dogs, cats and other animals of varying sizes and breeds-including rescues and other newly adopted animals. I am experienced working with dogs with special needs and senior pets alike. During our meet and greet, I will be sure to inquire about your pet's individual disposition and tendencies to ensure its a good fit.

We’ve been hiring Jennifer for a few years and recently got a second cat. She expertly handled the change from one to two cats, and we are grateful for her services!

Jennifer has been my go-to sitter for my Siamese cat for well over a year now. She is always reliable, and makes me feel at ease that my cat is in good hands while I’m traveling!
