Experienced & Thoughtful Care
Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. My goal is to make your time apart easy—for your pet by keeping their routine familiar, and for you by knowing they’re in caring, capable hands. I’ve been caring for animals for 15+ years, starting in high school by helping my mom with her pet-sitting clients and continuing throughout college and beyond. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, from growing up with Labradors to fostering dogs and cats and working at a local zoo. I’m comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities, energy levels, and needs, including puppies, high-energy dogs, seniors, and more sensitive pets. Some of my most special relationships have come from caring for pets over the years. I’ve had families return to me time and time again while they travel, giving me the chance to build a genuine bond with their pets. There’s something incredibly rewarding about earning that trust and eventually being greeted like a familiar friend rather than a sitter. I work remotely from home, so I’m able to be around for much of the day and provide plenty of companionship and attention. I naturally adapt to each pet’s routine, whether that means long walks and playtime or simply being a calm, steady presence. I’m also very respectful of the homes I stay in and take pride in leaving everything clean, tidy, and just as I found it. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet and your home with someone else, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I’d love to give your pets the same care, patience, and affection I would give my own. 🤍

Ratings and reviews
Jenny was WONDERFUL with our cat Latte! This was Latte’s first overnight with a Pet-Sitter, and it went better than we could have hoped. Jenny was so warm and caring, and her regular updates & photos gave us a great peace of mind while we were away. She took really good care of Latte, and even left our home cleaner than when we had left it! We would happily book Jenny again!
Jenny was wonderful with my sweet bulldog Remy! She was responsive to communication and was available given a late arrival home. Remy came home tired and happy from his two day stay.
Jessie was wonderful with my dog Otto. She took him on lots of hikes and was very communicative with me! I would definitely use her as a sitter again.
Jenny is incredible! Leaving our pup is never easy but Jenny makes us feel so comfortable knowing that our lil guy will be cared for so well. Jenny is kind, professional, and truly goes above and beyond ever time. Can’t say enough good things :)
I can't say enough good things about Jenny. I have had many dog sitters and Jenny was the most attentive, communicative, responsible, caring pet sitter I have had the pleasure of watching my 2 pups. They require a lot of instruction with illness and behavioral needs, and she followed direction carefully and touched based throughout the stay. I highly recommend Jenny as a pet and house sitter!
Jenny really cares about my dog Gus. He loves seeing her, and she knows exactly what makes him happy and comfortable. Before our first overnight, she came over to meet Gus and asked all the right questions. My boy immediately connected with her and from then on, Jenny has been our go to.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and your home’s care are my top priorities. I’m a careful, respectful house guest who takes the responsibility of caring for both seriously. With 16+ years of pet-sitting experience, I’m comfortable with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs, and I’m attentive to their routines, your instructions, and the little details that keep them safe and comfortable. I’m also naturally very tidy and take a lot of pride in caring for someone’s home. I’m respectful of their space and keep things clean, organized, and well cared for throughout my stay. To me, the job isn’t complete until you walk back through your door and feel like you’re coming home to your own space—just as nice, if not nicer, than when you left.
A typical day
Every pet has a different idea of a perfect day, so I like to follow their lead. For an energetic dog, that might mean a long morning walk, a trip to the park or on a hike, and plenty of play throughout the day. For a more laid-back pet, it might be a slower morning, some cuddles and belly rubs, gentle grooming, and enrichment toys or games to keep them happily occupied. I love getting to know what makes each pet happiest and building my day around that—whether they want adventure, playtime, or simply a cozy companion by their side. My goal is for them to feel like they’re having a fun, comfortable day in their normal routine, not just waiting for their people to come home.

- Before sitting, I like to get to know your pet’s personality and routine so I can make them feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Are they playful or more laid-back? Do they have any special dietary needs or medications? Are they fully house-trained? I also like to know about any sensitivities or triggers—like other dogs, bikes, or loud noises—so I can plan accordingly during walks. Lastly, I always ask about their favorite treats, toys, and ways to receive affection—whether they love belly rubs or prefer space around certain areas like their paws or head. The more I know, the better I can care for them just the way you do.
