A Walk With Jen, Inc.

I have 6 dogs of my own and a previous owner of several dogs, cats, horses, guinea pigs, ferrets, and fish. Before starting my own company, I worked in two veterinary hosptials in the Montgomery County area for five years. Working my way up from Kennel Technician to Veterinary Technician with surgery experience. I am well versed in most pet medications. I started my own business in March 2006. I am bonded and insured. I was born and raised in the Laytonsville/ Gaithersburg area. We now reside in Frederick, MD. We cover 3 counties: Montgomery, Frederick & Howard.

My mission is to provide you with peace of mind by offering the safety, love and attention you yourself give your pets. In your absence, your pets deserve the best caregiver you can find to care for them in their own home. If you need to be away for the day or for an extended business trip or vacation, if your pets get bored and lonely at home then my services are for you.  I will take care of your pets as if they were my own, putting their needs and comfort first.

I pledge to be honest, dependable and trustworthy. To care for each pet, as if it were my own. To protect, defend, play with and scratch behind the ears, all creatures in my care, with treats and walks for all!

How to get started with your pets care, it’s really quite easy, just follow these simple steps: 

Give A Walk With Jen, Inc. a call 240-793-4646 (text or email) and we will arrange a convenient time to come to your home and meet you and your pet – no charge. 

You will fill out an information form so we can properly care for your pets while you are away or at work. 

You will then provide us with either: two keys, a garage door opener, a garage code or some other form of entry to your house while you are gone. 

One key is for the pet sitter and the other will be secured at our office in case of an emergency. 

Try to give me at least 24-48 hours in advance of your departure or days your pet needs a break when you go into work, to schedule services. 

We understand life is unpredictable and last minute changes do happen, just give us a call and we will try my best to fit your pet in as soon as we can.

That’s all there is to it. Once you’re on file with us, you need only to give us a call to schedule your service. Don’t worry if your return is delayed, traffic is bad, a last minute meeting, or a family emergency, my service continues until we KNOW that you are back.

When you call, we can set up an interview in your home at your convenience, evening and weekends too, free of charge. During this visit, a detailed client profile will be created to ensure

consistent and accurate care of your pets and home. You will receive a service rate sheet, references and a copy of my insurance and bonding papers for your records.You can then introduce 

us to your pets and show us around your home. We can also obtain a copy of your house key. It’s very important to us that you feel comfortable leaving your pets and home in our care. We

always treat homes with the respect and privacy that we would expect of anyone providing a service in our homes.
