I am not a behavior expert. I do have experience dealing with difficult behaviors and will carry out any request you have for training that I am able. Training alignment is important to me.

“Jennifer would make a great pet sitter for anyone's pet, she's a very caring person for humans and animals.

Joel B.
“I do not trust my fur babies with anyone but Joel. Joel met my doggo with me, before taking the "job". He is kind and caring of my dog's boundaries. She is a Chihuahua and has big Chihuahua personality, walking her with other dogs can be difficult, but Joel gently took care of the walk situation. I have very detailed instructions when I leave. Joel follows the instructions exactly as noted, potty times, food times, play times, bedtimes and just cuddle times if doggo so inclined. I check in regularly as all fur baby parents would. He always answers and gives me updates as to how things are going. He is even willing to face time me so I can see my fur baby. When I get home, my baby is happy, no stress, happy to see me, and obviously well cared for. I recommend Joel as a 5-star fur babysitter.”

Roy J.
“There is no one I would want more to entrust my pets with. He has always been kind and loving, not just to his own pets, but to all animals. And equally important, pets favorably respond to him as well. Over the years I've had a mix of experiences, including sitters who do the bare minimum and leave. I know that with Roy that will not be the case. He will go out of his way to ensure that you and your pets have an exceptional experience.”

Ren S.
“Ren is an absolute gem when it comes to dog sitting! From the moment I dropped off my furry friend, I knew they were in good hands. Ren's attention to detail, care, and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ren to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”
