Pet care experience
I’m a medical student on a “research gap year,” meaning I work from home plus the bonus of pet-sitting! No time with animals is taken for granted, as with over 6+ years experience, it is a unique joy and privilege to be able to meet, care for, love and bond with all the incredible animals of Chicago to help with medical school costs in my 20s until I am ready to own🥰 I am at home full-time in a smoke free, pet-encouraging apartment complex in Gold Coast. There will be no other animals when your pet(s) stay with me, and I am also willing to take public transit to you and your pet(s)! I give all owners my personal cell and happily send frequent updates. I would also be happy to meet & greet or FaceTime in advance! I grew up dogsitting for my local neighborhood, and gained several additional years of experience once living in my own by caring, sitting, & fostering both kittens/cats and dogs/puppies for days, weeks, and even months at a time. I can’t wait to meet you both and make your lives easier!
Reviews
Jenny is a fantastic dog sitter! My dog has some anxiety and she feels completely comfortable with Jenny and has a great time. Jenny is also very responsive and easy to work with. We try to have her dog sit for us whenever we’re out of town!
Jenny took care of our Tommy at her home for one week while we were on vacation out of the state. She was amazing. Before we booked her services, she wanted to meet Tommy and us, to hear about her habits and to get acquainted with her. That made us feel very comfortable. She took great care of her, communicated with us, sent photos and was very responsive and attentive. We would highly recommend using Jenna as your Dogsitter!
Jenny was super attentive with my dog Cashew. She was communicative and took pictures to update me throughout his stay. Cashew came home a very happy and tired boy. Will definitely book with Jenny again!

Safety, trust & environment
I have been a cat and dog sitter for numerous animals for client’s weekend trips or even up to 3 months at a time. Whether it’s a drop in visit, walk, or a sleepover at my apartment, they will get all of the snuggles, care, and things they need. Most any instructions that your pet needs can be accommodated! Just like in medicine — I especially love to see animals grow and consider it a privilege to be a part of their care longitudinally.
