I have been pet sitting for most of my life and have recently worked with a licensed pet sitting company here in Davis as well, making me background check approved and certified to care for your pets! As a sitter/caregiver you can expect good communication, a journal update, and adorable pictures with every visit (I’ve been told I should be a pet photographer by some clients!). I understand the significance pets have as part of the family and would love to provide the care that you are looking for your sweet angel baby. I love going on runs, so if your dog needs some high level exercise or just a walk, I am the perfect fit! I have experience with puppies, older dogs/cats, medicated animals, reactive animals, and anxious ones too. I understand the time, love, and gentleness required to gain trust with animals and am very much so able to support your pet and their unique needs in order to do so. I worked as a kennel technician at a vet clinic for 3 years which gave me the skills to administer oral meds as well as give injections (such as insulin..). I also have experience with training dogs (young and old) and am happy to support your pup in building new habits. In my free time I enjoy drawing, hiking, car-camping, beach days, running, and hanging out at home with the critters of “Jenny’s Jungle”. My cohort of rescue animals include a pittie (Thor), a cattle dog mix (Bingo), a very social one-eyed orange cat (Cheeto Puff), a red tailed boa (Aziti), and a ball python (Noodle). I completed a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science then a masters and PhD in Animal Biology at the University of California – Davis. As an Animal Scientist, and animal lover, I am committed to advocating for high standards of animal stewardship in both my personal and professional life and look forward to the opportunity to care for your pets too, big and small!  Along with being great with dogs I am also great with people and would love to meet you! Thank you for your time reading my bio!
