About Me
My name is Jen Arnett and I'm a Texas gal who loves animals. I have 7 pets of my own (all rescues!!) 2 dogs: Puck, a lab/pointer hound mix. Echo, a furry mix- Icelandic Sheepdog?. 5 cats: LuLu, Phoenix, Mardi Jane, Sid Vicious and Fin. And 1 gecko named Gordon. I became a pet sitter because I really love playing with dogs and cats. Simple answer... I know. The real reason is companion animal care has always been a passion of mine. I've always been the person friends and neighbors trusted to take care of their furrry friends and it seemed like a natural choice to create my own pet sitting and dog walking service. Here are more reasons why you should hire me as your pet sitter: I'm a professional that's insured, bonded, trained in pet CPR, I have taken several dog training courses, I'm an Accredited Pet Sitter through PSI, and I have excellent references. For more information about my qualifications please read my FAQ page.
More About Me
What are your favorite things about Austin?
The live music
Dogs vs. Cats, who's your favorite?
This is a hard one. I really don't have a favorite. I love them both equally for different reasons. I love the way dogs lick my face and run towards me with wagging tails when I come to their house AND I love the way cats purr and make biscuits on my lap when I scratch behind their ears.
What would you be doing if you didn't own your pet sitting business?
I would probably work for an animal rescue group. Or be a rock star. Or be a travel writer
What's your favorite TV show?
Lost- well I love it and hate it.
Who is your favorite band of all time?
Led Zepplin
Which country do you really want to visit?
Greece
If you could change one thing about your life what would it be?
I would drink less Dr. Pepper
What do you like to do when you're not pet sitting?
I like to practice Yoga, sleep, listen to live music, play UNO, organize my house, play in my garden, drink beer, play with my dogs and cats, and sleep some more.
Do you have any nicknames?
Yes - Jen Chan and Furrr
