About Jennifer
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I have been a Pet Care Specialist for over 40 years. I started working at a veterinarian's office as a teenager. I became a professional pet and show groomer in 1976, (now retired). I worked with Cat Show organizations. I worked in Dog Obedience for several years. I also work for a local pet-sitting service based in Arlington, VA, part-time for over 15 years. In 2000 I began my own dog walking and pet-sitting service. My areas are: Alexandria DelRay area, Arlington/Falls Church, Vienna, Oakton and Tyson's Vienna. Because of health and physical issues, I have limited the dog's sizes to Small and Medium breeds with exceptions. I love caring for cats of all ages. I have dedicated my life to caring for my own pets, cats and dogs, and my life's work is to care for my clients pets. I will treat your pets as my own. I have been certified in pet CPR /First Aid. ( Red Cross). I am experienced in giving medication. I am great with young pets and the geriatric age group. I carry Pet Insurance,

Jennifer has been a significant help since adopting our new puppy! She has even made herself available on short notice when we had an unexpected event occur. Our puppy is a rescue, so she has had some health issues and Jennifer has not shied away from any of them. She always leaves a note with information regarding her visit. Definitely recommend!
