Safety, trust & environment

I have a dog park that is very secure in my complex. I like to keep my dogs stimulated and enriched so they can have a productive day, and an even better sleep! I like to keep their routine consistent with theirs at home. Open to all suggestions to make your dog comfortable. Having a harness on all of my dogs, always having my eyes on them, bringing water for incredibly hot days/keeping walks short on those, having their favorite toys around, and giving them all my affection makes myself, and the puppy feel at ease!

Information Jenny S. would like to know about your pet

I generally like to do a meet up with the dog and the owner before visits to determine if we are a good match and we all know what to expect. I like to know their demeanor, any triggers that may make them anxious, their feeding schedules/daily routine, and what they expect for daily activity outside. I want the pet to recognize my home before they are here for their first stay, as I know that can be very confusing for them at first! If your dog is reactive or working on potty training, I would like to know beforehand so I can better plan our day and how to make them comfortable/avoid any surprises. If medication is needed, I would like a run down in person (if complex) as to what is needed.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dog physically and mentally. I love going on long walks and tracking them through the app so you are able to see what we’re up to! If cleared by the owner that the dog is good with other dogs, I enjoy taking them to the dog park in my building so they can have playdates with other friendly pups! I will keep them on the same feeding schedule you provide and make sure everything is consistent with what their day-to-day is at home. Expect to receive countless pictures of our day when your dog stays with me! If Rover parents miss their pups, I am also more than willing to hop on facetime so you can say hi, etc. If your dog is working on specific commands/crate training, etc, I like to implement training sessions and make sure they being stimulated! A nice long nap after countless activities is usually the best part of the day!

Reliable dog sitter

Pet care experience

Hi everyone, I just moved to Charlottesville, VA from Boston, MA and I am looking to take on new clients! My fiancé has started at UVA for business school. This is my third year on Rover (with a break due to fostering dogs) and I am looking to make dog boarding/walking more consistent in my day to day. I've cared for animals my whole life. I've had family pets since I was born, and provide pet sitting and dog walking! Training dogs on different commands and exposing them slowly to new things is a passion of mine. I love to see my rover dogs grow and gain more knowledge. I have experience providing medicine to animals and have plenty of space for your pet. My apartment is dog friendly and is 2 bedrooms with a massive dog park. Let me know if you are interested and have any questions! I am always open to doing a meet up before a booking to ensure that we will be a good fit overall. My priority is making sure your pup is safe, loved, and that you receive frequent updates of our days.

We love Jenny! She is detail oriented, enthusiastic, and easy to talk to. She gave us so many updates and obviously really enjoyed hanging out with our pup. Best of all, Rip was really happy to be with her! He doesn't love on everyone the same so it's a true vouch for how sweet she is. Thanks Jenny!

I can’t say enough good about Jenny and her care for our Nala. I knew she was in good hands from the minute we arrived with her warm welcome of us and Nala. She went above and beyond my expectations from multiple walks, and all day photos and updates. I would give her 5+ stars if I could. We appreciate her and her fiancé so much as we were a last minute booking. I would definitely use her again!!
