From adopted senior dogs to new born puppies, animals have been a large part of my everyday life, forming my continues care and love for their wellbeing. Currently, I have a senior dog named Albert who needs more care and attention for his needs. I also have a 5 year old dog named Minus who is very active and loves to learn and show us his new tricks. Both of them like to play, nap, and sun bathe, while I also meet and support their needs. My dogs have always been my best friends and I want to become your pets as well! I’ve been a pet sitter on Rover for a little over two and a half years, and I’ve loved every second of it. I am fully background-checked and have completed more than 35 bookings, including eight amazing pets that I see on a regular basis. These long-term relationships mean so much to me as they’ve helped me grow as a sitter and understand how to create a comfortable, consistent routine for every animal I care for. It is very important to me to know all of your pets favorites and fears. I want to create a safe and personal experience with your fur baby, while also respecting their boundaries. Let me know during our meet and greet if your pet has separation anxiety, food aggression, particular needs, etc. Also tell me their favorite toy, treats, activities to do, etc. I want for theirs, mine, and your experience to be wonderful!

Jennifer $20 per hour for 1 child

## About Me Hi! I'm Jennifer, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your little ones. I've been babysitting and caring for children for over 10 years, from infants to older kids, including children with special needs. Every child is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know their personalities, encouraging their creativity, and making them feel safe, loved, and supported. Most recently, I've been helping my boyfriend's sister care for her adorable twin babies, both under 10 months old. From bottles and diaper changes to naps, playtime, and keeping two little ones on schedule, I've loved every minute of it! I've called Nashville home for more than 10 years, and my family is also local, so I'm very rooted in the community and available to build long-term relationships with families if that's something you're looking for. I believe some of the best moments happen in the little things—reading bedtime stories, building blanket forts, dancing in the living room, going on walks, playing outside, doing crafts, or simply making a child laugh. My goal is always to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can be themselves and parents can feel completely at ease. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter, regular childcare, help with infants, or experience caring for children with special needs, I'd be honored to help. I hope we have the chance to connect—I look forward to meeting your family!
