About
I provide personal care at an affordable price.
I will walk your dog(s) and pet sit for most kinds of animals, as well as pick up mail and newspaper, water plants, and take the trash out.
I have had a full time job in retail loss prevention for 20 years and a part time job at a veterinary office for 16. I have been moonlighting as a pet-sitter for about 7.
My specialties are large dogs, taking care of small dogs at my residence, multiple pets, odd hours and emergencies or last minute trips.

Jennifer took great care of our two dogs while we were away! She sent pictures and messages to let us know how they were doing which put our minds at ease. Will definitely ask for her to take care of our dogs in the future! Thank you Jennifer!

One of my dogs only loves men, but when Jennifer picked her up Missy started trying to lick her face. That says a lot for that dog to immediately like Jennifer. At the first visit, meeting Jennifer doesn't feel like meeting a stranger, she is very inviting and organized. I have two cats, two dogs and all of them immediately took a liking to her, that usually takes awhile for these guys. As I watched how my pets reacted to her, I knew she was perfect for us!
Details: Dog • 5 pets • Taking pet outside • Changing litter or bedding • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • The pet sitter travels to me

Took care of our two cats while we were gone for two weeks. Also took in our mail, watered flowers outside and took trash to and from curb. She was a great help, reliable and trustworthy. We will definitely use her again.

Super responsive, always willing to take on a last minute visit, and great with our pets. Even sends pictures of the pets while we’re away to ease the heartache! Without a doubt - I would recommend Affordable Pet Sitting to anyone in the Winston Salem area!

I love to work with animals and to be my own boss. I like to be able to negotiate with my clients without having to get the okay from someone else.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I visit alot of pets in their homes. I take care of small things during clients' vacations that they would like kept up.Picking up the yard, emptying the garbage, taking in the mail. I also have some clients that take their pets with them sometimes and I just come over to water their plants and tend to the garden.
