About: I’ve lived with dogs and cats my entire life. Since I was 12, it’s been my responsibility to take care of our English Setter. This began with me helping to train him. My role was to reinforce the lessons taught at the PetSmart classes. I’ve regularly walked, bathed, and taken to the vet our dog as well. I love animals of all kinds and care a lot about giving them the loving attention they deserve. I currently work part time 6 days a week, with Sundays off. I work from home, and regularly have mornings and early afternoons completely available. I have more than enough time for several appointments just about every day of the week. At the moment I do not own any pets, as my landlord does not allow it. I am unable to provide any services that would require my home. But I’ve lived with and cared for both dogs and cats my entire life, with great regularly since I was 12. I know what I’m doing when it comes to our furry companions. I’d love to provide walks, visits, and any other services I can.
About: Family and friends have trusted me to feed, walk and play with their lovely pets for the past 4 years. As a huge animal lover, it would be my pleasure to help with their loved ones. I am currently attending college, mainly taking online courses so my schedule is pretty open and flexible. I am willing to help anytime of day! I follow instructions given to me by clients accurately. Any and all specifications set by clients will be followed. Nothing is too tedious for me.

About: I have a soft spot for all animals and treat all pets as if they were my own. As someone who grew up around many types of animals since I was a kid, I know how much they mean to us. I make sure they are taken care of and loved! I’m available Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! If other weekdays are needed, i’m available but only for check ins, as I work those days. I do not take pets in my home as I have other animals in the house. I am happy to provide care at the clients home. I do walks, play time, dog parks, etc!
“Pogo loved Jennifer. She is so kind and caring and dependable. Pogo is full of life and can be a handful at the door, excited to see Jennifer, and she was able to handle settling him down and getting his harness and leash on easily. He looked forward to her coming to walk him twice a day. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone needing someone to assist with dog walking.”
