No problems, and Jennifer sent pictures every day.

Jen is definitely very knowledgeable and has a good rapport with dogs. However, when I checked my house video cameras I noticed that the visits were always under 10 minutes even though it was supposed to be a 30 minute visit. I also noticed that post walk status emails were sometimes being sent before the walk was even done. I emailed to asked if there was a reason the walks were short but never received a response.

 Because of the medical condition of our cats we were quite anxious in the beginning, When we met her we felt at ease. It was obvious that Jennifer, a vet tech with considerable experience, was on top of the meds schedule and very affectionate with the cats. While we were away, we got daily updates with pictures. Guests who stayed at home for a couple of days while we were traveling were very impressed by how the cats, including our aloof one, seemed very happy to see her and play with her. We found the cats in excellent condition and spirits! We enthusiastically recommend this outstanding service!

I have started using Jen and Pawrific to walk my country dogs on a weekly basis. My male was happy with Ray, his walker and Jen has been very responsive in helping us get set up. They are dog people!!! they get it!! Ray can read my dogs very distinct personalities and my old lady needs some care and they seem to get her bitchy personality!!! 

She is great. We sure had more than once I believe, and we would use her again for sure. She really knows animals. She studies to be a vet and it really shows. She actually diagnosed not technically because she is not a vet yet, but she noticed that our cat was sick and she got in touch with us. She's on vacation but she recommended a vet and we love the vet that she recommended, and she took the cat over and took care of it. We couldn't be happier. It could have been the worst possible situation, and she performed brilliantly.

Jennifer is outstanding. She visited our home once a day, every day, for 3 weeks to care for our cats. She fed them, cleaned litter trays, cleaned 'accidents' (one cat is recent post-surgery, and not always using trays), collected post, cleaned bins etc etc etc. She provided updates by text to let us know all was well. She is professional, very experienced and excellent with animals, including our cats which are all shy, ex-strays. She is now our cat-carer of choice.

Jennifer (the owner) was easy to reach, wonderfully flexible, and very reasonably priced. She came to check in on our two cats every other day while we were away for a week (4 visits total). She was very responsive, contacted me the day I reached out to Pawrific Pet Care, was easily reachable in various forms of communication throughout the process, and provided updates while we were away.
She came to check the water and food, and to spend time with the cats (30 min per visit). She even visited on Christmas day! One of our boys is very skittish, but she made him feel very comfortable, and he came out to see her on the first visit, and almost every time after that.
She was the most flexible of the services I contacted (despite how short notice I was), willing to alternate days rather than visit daily, since we put out food and water dispensers when we travel, and just wanted to have an eye on our boys. She left a lovely holiday card and a Christmas gift for our boys. (They loved the ball, and the treats!)
We will certainly be contacting her again if we need a sitter in the future, and recommend her highly. Thanks Jennifer!

Really well trained staff.

Jennifer has been a wonderful person to know on my first meeting with her.  She was very knowledgeable in animal husbandry, and it was through her visual review that my 2 cats needed to see a vet as soon as possible.  I scheduled a visit after I returned from vacation and was relieved to find it was nothing major.
I highly recommend Jennifer.  She is professional, friendly and very knowledgeable.  I will use her services again in the future.

She did a really nice job. She was professional. She called me to let me know that she got in. I left her instructions because one of my cats is diabetic. When I came home, my home was neat. She texted me the morning she left to tell me that she had left my keys on the counter.

Jennifer is great!  We have used her services a few times now.  I really appreciated how she came to my house in advance of her first appointment to go over all the details and logistics.  She took lots of notes and mentioned that she always makes sure to visually see the pets on her visits.  Our cat can be a little skittish and is known to hide and I really appreciated knowing that Jennifer would seek her out to make sure she were fine.
Jennifer always shows up as promised and everything seems great when we get home.  It's a big relief to be able to leave and know that our cat is in such great, caring hands.  We will definitely continue to use her services.

I have had her take care of my pets many times, including two trips for 11 days, and when I return my pets are obviously happy and satisfied and my apartment is well cared for.  On the long trips she even moves my car as required for street cleaning.

Each day they texted a message and picture, making us feel safe and secure about our beloved pets.

My experience with them was very positive. She was very responsible and we would use her again.

Working with Jennifer has been fantastic!
We very recently adopted a stray cat and had concerns about what to do with the cat while were were going to be away for 4 days on a pre-planned trip.  We looked into the possibility of boarding the cat but had concerns about the stress it would cause the cat being in such a confined space for so long. 
Not knowing exactly what to do, and with our planned vacation dates rapidly approaching, we turned to Angie's List.  We saw Jennifer's excellent reviews and decided to give her a call.  She answered right away, asked some questions and scheduled a convenient time to meet my husband, the cat & I. 
Jennifer arrived right on time and immediately struck us both as being responsible, trustworthy, friendly, a professional and serious animal lover.  We showed her all of the things she needed see (where the litter box was, where to dispose of litter "debris", food location, toys, etc..).  Jennifer even asked about where a vacuum might be in the event the cat tracked litter on the carpet.  We were sold and made arrangements for her to visit the cat 1 time a day to feed her, clean her litter box and play with her (if the cat was up to it) for 4 days.  Jennifer asked us how we found her and when we told her it was Angie's List, she volunteered that we got a discount for the first visit!
Heading out on our trip, we felt relieved to know our cat was in good hands with Jennifer.  As promised, Jennifer came each day to care for our cat.  Jennifer kept us posted via text on how each visit went.  We were happy to learn that our shy cat was coming around more and more each day to Jennifer.  Now, they are buddies!
In addition to taking great care of our cat, Jennifer brought in our mail and newspaper.  We also asked her to just do a walkthrough of the house each day to make sure the cat didn't get into anything she shouldn't or break anything which could result in the cat hurting herself.
Any pet owner knows that their pet is part of their family.  It is vitally important that that pet get great care when you can't give it to them yourself.  As a pet parent herself, Jennifer understands this element of the person/pet relationship.  At all times, Jennifer was immediately responsive to any texts we sent with questions, etc... and was really great at keeping us informed.  Having Jennifer watch after our cat was very reassuring.
We've already booked Jennifer to check on our cat later this month when we'll be away again.  Jennifer is now our official pet sitter and we plan to call her for all future pet sitting needs. 

Jenn is great!!! We communincated via phone for a few days leading up to her piking up my pup for the weekend.
BACKSTORY- found her on Angie's List of course, ratings were good, gave a call, compared her to a few pet care takers both on Angie's and not. Ended up going with Jen due to her enthusiasm, customer service over the phone, and questions that she asked. I got a sense that she truly cares and enjoys what she does.  Isis is my new pup with some shyness, and timid issues- "some" is a understatement. She would turn from people, duck, hide, dodge- run if she wasn't on a leash. In steps the Wonderful; Jennifer!!!!!!!!
So, we spoke a  few times during the week leading up to the big day that Isis would go with a new stranger. I was very hesitant only because Isis was having some very hard transition issues after leaving the breeder. In the phone conversation, Jenn let me know different things that she would begin to work on and what i could do, to help Isis with her confidence.
    Pick up day came Jenn asked if arriving a hour earlier was OK, just so we could speak and I could get any questions out I may have forgotten over the phone.She then loaded Isis up, my pup has extreme motion sickness-not just slobber, but bowel movements as well- Jenn said don't worry about it. i told her, that I did give Isis a pill, couldn't remember the name and she asked if it was cerenia-which it was, the reply was the experienced vet tech in her.  She has the perfect puppy mobile, A Jeep. I was able to go to work that weekend with no problem, I honestly believed I left my brand new puppy who is 4months old and only with me for  5days with the most competent, educated, caring, pet sitter in my opinion.  I called her that night to check up, and she said Isis was doing great,  she did have some bowel movements in the car,but she was able to clean the pup and the car up no problem and that my dog was making new friends with her big pup, a pit bull full of fun. I do think a picture or sent via text or email may have been cool to see the dogs in action, but thats something we will talk about the next time she takes Isis for me. She told me she was working on crate training with Isis, i told her that when i tried it was not working and that Isis was not fond of the crate. Jenn got it to work though, with out a hitch. Currently, using on e now with no problems.
     My Isis is also deaf in the right ear so Jenn informed me of various alterations that i should make when dealing with Isis, which i did appreciate being I have never had a dog with any hearing issues. the most important point I pulled along with many others was walking her to my right side so that her good ear was closer to my mouth being unilateral hearing dogs have a harder time differentiating exactly where sound is coming from. "Thank you Jenn" that has made a huge difference.
  On Sunday for pick up, I did scan where she lives the area was nice tree lined streets. Arrived at the building Jenn walked Isis out, en-tow with her pit bull, and a yorkie. They were all buddies, and Isis was so happy tail wagging and not stuck underneath her which was always the case and a issue i had with her everyday. Isis made new friends, and had more confidence. The site alone, i knew that I would use Jennifer again. I don't know everything she did, but I know she did alot. We chatted about the doggy crew that was outside with us.  She told me Isis did great and gave me techniques for improving our relationship.
    I am so happy I researched, and met Jennifer-she made a huge difference.  I am in the healthcare field, and Jenn is in the pet care field. She did me a huge service, it was professional, genuine, and effected not only my puppy in a positive way, but my entire family. I was able to pass on key information for us to enhance the way we handle Isis and help transition her into our family in the best possible way.
  Jennifer's pricing was reasonable, she even game me 20% off for going through Angie's list as a first time customer.  I love a deal, next time I might not get the discount but if the service is the same I can live with that.  
Angie's list I many have missed a few details, but the experience was a excellent one. Now if I could only find a barber that is as good.

We contacted Jennifer at the last minute.  She was very responsive, coming to the house to meet our cats and discussing their needs.  She is very knowledgeable and we had no qualms about leaving her to look after them while we were away.  She fed them and gave them cuddles - we know that they appreciated her attention.  We would definitely use her services again.
