Personalized care for your dog or cat - Jackson Junction

“Jenn was awesome. She was able to watch my dog on a short notice and she took my dog out to interact with other pets and animals. He had so much fun with her and I enjoyed the video updates she sent!”

About: I have a dog of my own now and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet! I stay active and go on daily walks (sometimes twice a day), so your dog will get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable with both dogs and cats and their different needs. I’m reliable, patient, and treat every pet like my own—whether that’s going for walks, playtime, or just giving them love and attention while you’re away. I have a full time job that is very flexible. I go on walks in the middle of the day lots of times, and am also free some mornings and evenings. I care for pets based on each owner’s preferences and routines to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I’m experienced with leash walks, playtime, and outings like the dog park if approved. Safety is always my priority, and I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, energy level, and needs. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel loved, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a fur baby of my own that is glad to keep yours company if needed as well!

About: Hi there! I have lots of professional experience caring for pets of all kinds! I’ve worked at several doggy daycares, including Camp Run-a-Mutt, where I became comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. When I lived in Atlanta, I also worked for a professional pet-sitting company for two years. I traveled throughout the city providing dog walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for all different kinds of pets. I absolutely love animals and take pride in making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual needs and would love the opportunity to give your furry friends the care and attention they deserve! :) I'm currently working as a part-time barista, so I have plenty of time to fit in some pet sitting! My schedule is flexible! I take your instructions very seriously, and will care for your pets in the best way possible. Theirs and yours happiness are my top priority!

“Jenn was so good to my puppy! Sadie came home exhausted from a fun day on the farm. She was also able to accommodate us on short notice which was amazing.”

About: I have taken care of animals from a very young age. But the past 15 I have watched my adult children's dogs many times at my home. I have had several senior dogs and dogs on medications. Our current dog, Riley loves all dogs and is very playful I work part-time from home and am able to take multiple breaks for outside time and walks throughout the day. During nice weather I am outside in the yard gardening frequently. We have a large fenced yard and a fun loving pup, Riley who really would love a playmate. We also have a doggy door in the outside porch. The door to the upstairs is kept closed unless we are up there to prevent accidents.

“McGregor loved his time with Shelby! She sent lots of updates and took the time to get to know him when I dropped him off. He came home worn out and the happiest of campers!”

“Our boxer had a great stay with Justine. When we picked her up from daycare she was happy, but quickly fell asleep in our truck from all the fun activity she had with Justine's dog. A nice experience. 😀”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life and have raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I also cared for elderly dogs. Keeping animals active and making sure their needs are being met is something I enjoy. When pet sitting I like running and playing fetch with pets or even just sitting and petting them if that’s what they prefer. I have volunteered with humane societies to walk dogs and play with cats. For 2 years I was a veterinary technician at an animal hospital in florida and worked with animals everyday. I am able to give prescribed medications or injections if needed. I have availability on nights and weekends as well as on my days off. I am flexible about traveling and am willing to travel about 30 minutes for pet sitting. Just contact me with any questions about schedule availability. Very flexible on nights and weekends. Work a swing shift at work so some weeks my availability is different. When caring for pets in my clients home I am always careful to make sure the pet is as comfortable with me as possible. I respect that the home is their space and make sure to let the pet make the first move when meeting for the first time.

About: I’ve had a variety of dogs my whole life and feel like I have a good grasp on varying temperaments and understand of behavior. I love dogs and have 4 of my own. ❤️ I currently work full time but I’m off and free after 430. I love helping out others and taking care of animals just like they are my own I will follow your guidelines to what your animals routines are and adapt to their space. I will come to you since I have 4 doggos and they are welcoming but could be chaotic based on the age ranges I have.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals for my entire life. As a kid, my family bred and raised Shih Tzus. I have experience with all ages! I am currently working part time/as needed while attending college part time. I have a flexible schedule and commute from Charles City to Waterloo most every day. I have a private, fenced in backyard. My wiener dog, Tootsie, enjoys roaming our 3-bedroom house, sunbathing on the couches, and snuggling in bed.
