favoriteWhy we love house sitting

I love the feeling of stepping into a new space, connecting with animals, and finding a rhythm that honors both. It gives me a fresh perspective and a little adventure.

About Me
Hi, I’m Jennifer; a grounded, respectful house and pet sitter with an older Australian Shepherd named Bow. I’m in a transitional season of life and seeking quiet, longer-term sits where we can both relax and feel at home.

I work remotely and live a quiet, tidy life. I’m a non-smoker and homebody who genuinely enjoys peaceful routines, animal companionship, and keeping a home running smoothly. I’ve raised four kids, managed multiple households, and cared for a wide range of pets so ... Read moreAbout Me
Hi, I’m Jennifer; a grounded, respectful house and pet sitter with an older Australian Shepherd named Bow. I’m in a transitional season of life and seeking quiet, longer-term sits where we can both relax and feel at home.

I work remotely and live a quiet, tidy life. I’m a non-smoker and homebody who genuinely enjoys peaceful routines, animal companionship, and keeping a home running smoothly. I’ve raised four kids, managed multiple households, and cared for a wide range of pets so I know how to show up responsibly and leave things better than I found them.

Pet Experience
I have lifelong experience with dogs and cats. I've also had fish, chickens, turtles, frogs and rats so I'm open to all kinds of animal life. Bow is playful, well-behaved, and always by my side. He's happy to nap in the sun or join me for quiet walks. For shorter sits, I’m available solo as well.

What I’m Looking For
I’m especially drawn to sits in peaceful, low-traffic areas. This isn’t a vacation for me. I’m looking for a calm, respectful exchange where your home and animals are genuinely cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and provide regular updates, and I always treat a sit with the same care I would as if it were my own home.

Let’s Connect
I’m new to House Sitters America, so I don’t have reviews here yet, but I’m happy to hop on a video call so you can get a feel for me and ask any questions. I understand the trust involved in opening your home to someone, and I take that responsibility seriously.

Pet care

I’ve cared for a wide range of animals over the years: dogs, cats, chickens, fish, a turtle, and even my kids’ pet rats and frogs. I’m very animal-friendly and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I'm that person that says hi to all the dogs when we go on walks. I’ve raised my own ... Read moreI’ve cared for a wide range of animals over the years: dogs, cats, chickens, fish, a turtle, and even my kids’ pet rats and frogs. I’m very animal-friendly and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I'm that person that says hi to all the dogs when we go on walks. I’ve raised my own animals from puppyhood and kittenhood to old age, and I’m especially comfortable with senior pets or those who need a little extra patience. Whether it’s administering medication, keeping a feeding schedule, or just offering affection and a steady presence, I’m happy to follow detailed instructions and provide updates as needed. My own dog, Bow, is well-behaved, and loves a quiet walk or sunny spot to nap in. He’s great with other animals and always by my side.

travelTravel plans

I’m especially interested in sits in San Diego or surrounding areas, where I have family and strong local ties. That said, I’m open to other locations if the fit is right. For shorter sits or those requiring air travel, I’m also available without my dog.
