About Jen

Hi there!

With over 20 years of animal experience, I'm your dedicated pet care professional. As a trained Veterinary Technician, I have a variety of animal experience, ranging from Veterinary clinics, to pet stores, to dog boarding facilities and a bird rehabilitation centre. I now specialize in providing personalized in-home pet care. 

My services are tailored to your pet's unique needs, and include pet sitting, dog walking, and medication administration. I am comfortable caring for a variety of animals, ranging from small and fuzzy to horses/farm animals. I am unable to care for aggressive animals.

I'm Insured, Bonded, Vet Recommended, and certified in Pet First Aid for your security and peace of mind.

**General Pet Services:**
- Pet sitting
- Dog walking
- Nail Trimming (focus on cats, rabbits & small animals)
- Medical Assistance (as prescribed by your Vet)
- Overnight care
- Small Animal Boarding (sorry, no dogs!)
- Customized to your needs, pricing may vary

**Specialized Care:**
- Insulin administration & Diabetic pets
- Administration of Oral/Ear/Eye/Topical medication
- Inhalers
- SQ Fluids
- Scheduling Priority for medical cases and dogs

Serving Ottawa West and South West areas; please inquire for other locations (potential additional fees)

My husband may assist during peak times or if I am unwell. This is to ensure continuous care for your pets.

Home visits are personalized to your needs. For overnight care, please message me to discuss options. Note that I may not be able to stay full-time at your residence due to other clients, so let's customize a care plan that suits you. Let's chat.

Pet care is currently my full time career, not a side job or hobby. This allows me to focus on providing the best care possible for your pets. Priority scheduling goes to medical cases and dogs.

All services can be customized to your specific needs - most visits are usually approximately 30 min long. Medications and multiple pets may be subject to additional fees

At my house I currently board small animals or occasionally vaccinated cats. They are kept separate from any other animals in the house, though they will be exposed to preteen & teenage children. Boarders are checked throughout the day

Home visits are in the comfort of your own home and each visit is tailored to your specific needs. Are you looking for overnight care in your house? No problem, please message me your needs. Please note that as I have other clients, I may not be able to stay full time at your residence - let's chat about your needs and customize a care plan!

I look forward to hearing from you!

- Jen, RVT

Jen was looking after our two cats, and providing excellent care, when our house was hit by a tree during the May 21 derecho in Ottawa. She continued to care for them in the 2 weeks after that til we got home - and provided us important information and photos to help us deal with the damage to our house and let us know how our pets were doing all the while caring for our cats. Jennwas wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone wholeheartedly. Thanks Jen!

Jen did an amazing job with our two cats. She is thoughtful, conscientious, a wonderful person and a fantastic cat sitter. I will certainly ask her to look after Rose and Tank any time I am going out of town. Thank you Jen!
