Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety, trust, and a positive environment when caring for pets. With years of experience handling animals, especially those with anxiety, I ensure that your pets feel comfortable and secure while in my care. I create a calm and nurturing space for them, following all safety protocols and offering personalized attention. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I aim to build trust with both you and your pet, so you can feel confident in the care they receive.

Information Jennifer W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet requires any special care instructions. Also it would be helpful to know if you pet has certain likes or dislikes prior to arriving

A typical day

A typical day caring for pets begins with ensuring their environment is safe, comfortable, and clean. I start by greeting each pet, checking their food and water supply, and giving them some time for play or exercise, depending on their needs. For pets with anxiety, I provide a calm atmosphere and any medications they may need, while also engaging in gentle, reassuring interactions. Midday, I often perform check-ins, offer walks, or spend time playing to keep them stimulated. I make sure to monitor their behavior and health throughout the day, addressing any concerns or needs that arise. In the evening, I repeat feeding and check that all pets are settled in their spaces. I also ensure that any nighttime routines, such as medication or special care, are followed. Throughout the day, I maintain close communication with the pet owner to ensure everything is going smoothly, fostering trust and ensuring the pet feels secure and loved.

I’m not just a sitter; I’m someone who understands the unique needs of each pet, from their routines to their emotional well-being. I offer personalized care tailored to your pet’s specific needs, whether it's administering medications, managing anxiety, or providing extra love and attention.With a focus on building trust and offering peace of mind, I go the extra mile to ensure both you and your pet feel comfortable and cared for.

Jennifer was such a wonderful caregiver while we were away. Very reliable and provided communication and reassurance throughout the time. Really went above and beyond my expectations. Will definitely look for her only for future care for my babies.

Jennifer offered me good peace of mind on her drop in visits for my cat. She sent proof of life photos & updates on my cat’s food behaviors. Jennifer cleaned wet food dishes and she cleaned a hairball surprise on the carpet, which was greatly appreciated.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
