Deaf Professional Pet Sitter
Hi, my name is Jenny. I'm Deaf and fluent in American Sign Language (ASL). Does it mean that you have to know ASL to be able to communicate with me? Not necessarily! To communicate with me, we always can write in English back and forth on paper or through text! I'm also fluent in English. :) Qualifications and Credentials -Been on Rover since 2017 and known for providing consistent quality pet care -Insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates in 2022 -Recertificated in Pet First Aid and CPR from Pet Emergency Education in 2022 -Bacholer's in Veterinary Technology with a minor in Management -Fear Free Certified Professional Pet Sitter in 2022 -10+ years of experiences caring for a wide range of animals at animal shelters and veterinary clinics, and petsitting -Veterinary technician assistant skills relevant to petsitting: nail trimming, anal gland expression, dental brushing/giving dental treats, bathing, wrapping bandages, pilling, administering eye and/or ear medications, and administering insulin injections for diabetes, animal restraint/handling -Basic training involving voice commands/hand signals such as "come", "sit", "wait", "go there", etc. Rewards come in forms of treats and play -Reliable car transportation I have cared for exotics and small animals as well but to a lesser extent: snakes, fish, rabbits, chickens, pigeons, ducks, bearded dragons, etc. Plants and gardens deserve love too - I will water them with your permission and follow explicit instructions how to provide care for them. I'm most familiar with pothos and snake plants. When you are about to go away on a vacation or need a visit or two during the day, please feel free to contact me anytime! I respond fast and I will work with you to ensure your needs are meet whenever possible. Before I confirm a booking, we will have a meet and greet first so we can make sure I am the right fit for you and your furry family members! Just furry? What about fish, snakes, or something like that? No need. :) I still can come and meet them if you want to go over their routine. I'm here to make your life easier! :)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I believe in providing a calm, low stress environment where the animals can just chill as I provide for their daily needs and deliver medical care that's required while minimizing fear, anxiety, and/or stress, and enlisting their cooperation. I will follow their routines carefully as instructed and provide enrichment whenever possible. I respect their autonomy and will provide affection with their consent. I'll make sure the house is pet proof as a preventative measure so they won't get into trouble while being there or gone. I'll provide basic support to their training regimen so they can stay on track. I'll monitor their vital signs and behavioral signs to ensure they are okay throughout the day. 10% of my profits will go to American Society for Deaf Children to help support deaf children and ensure that they do not experience language deprivation. They do this by by teaching them ASL and connecting them with deaf mentors and peers. I think it is important because many deaf children are deprived of early language development due to not having access to deaf-friendly, visual languages like American Sign Language. Do you know that if a child does not develop and acquire language skills by the time they are 5, they will have difficulties developing sufficient language skills? It is because the first five years of life is critical for creating foundation skills for language development and acquisition. By the time they become 5, their brain will be 90% developed and synaptic pruning at this point will ensure that synapses for developing language will be severely weakened if they are not used frequently. Let's support them together and help contribute to a better world! :) Thank you for your time and consideration! Looking forward to hear from you soon! :) FAQs: Q: Can you read lips? A: It is the least effective mode of communication available to Deaf people. Only about 30-45% of the English language is discernible through lip reading, and the rest depends on guessing and contextualization. It can be a lot of work. Why chance the pet care on lip-reading? Your best bet is writing things down on paper or texting or having printed detailed instructions ready. That way, I have 100% access to information needed to provide quality pet care for your beloved. Thanks. Q: Do you accept requests in Tooele? A: I do not. Rover shows that Tooele is within my service area because I set the service area to 20 miles in radius, but there is no 20-mile path to Tooele. Please keep that in mind when seeking a pet sitter. I service most of the Salt Lake County area. More questions coming up soon. :)
Ratings and reviews
Thank you, Jenny! It’s always nice to have a pet sitter you can count on!
Jenny is great! Loves the animals. Good attention to detail and trustworthy.
Jenny is the best. I trust her with my home and animals. We are repeat customers going on for 3+ years.
Amazing service!
Jenny did a great job! She is super precise, timely, and took great care of our older cat Stella! Stella had a lot to say when we got home, and I would imagine it was all five star meows!!! She seemed happy calm and relaxed upon our return! We have more travel in our future and will definitely call Jenny again!!!
We’re thoroughly impressed with Jenny’s services. She not only met but surpassed our expectations in caring for our cats. Her attention to detail makes her a top notch pet sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone seeking trustworthy and compassionate care for their cats.

For petsitting: In the mornings, I'll be gone to check on my mother and complete pet visits when applicable and then come back to stay with your pet most of the day and overnights. In the afternoons/early evenings, I will be gone to complete pet visits when applicable. I may do errands in between when applicable.
