Jenna Goecke: Pet Care Provider

02/09/2026

Hello to all my wonderful clients! I hope 2026 is off to a great start for everyone! I have some news. I’ll start with the bad. My amazing partner, Jaime, had an opportunity for a full time office job and she took it. She will still be helping out part time and will still be fulfilling her commitments to any of you that she already made. As most of you know, she has been such a huge asset to my business and while I am happy for her for this opportunity, I’m sad that she will have to scale back.

Now the good news! I already have a new member of my team! This just fell into my lap and felt kismet. She is a long time, wonderful client of mine. She’s a retired military nurse with some extra time on her hands and has offered to help me out! I know and trust her fully, which makes this so much easier. You all know that I value and cherish the fact that you trust me with your homes, privacy, and of course your precious fur babies, so the fact that I trust this woman to adhere to my values speaks volumes! So stay tuned as I reach out about having you meet Teresa.

Lastly, please get your requests in asap for this year! Spring and fall still have some availability but summer is nearly booked up already!

I always have to add a pic for attention so here’s my baby yelling at me to play with her.

Hey strangers! I’ve been so busy caring for all your fur babies that I haven’t made a post in a while. It occured to me about a week ago that I was a total slacker this year and didn’t send holiday cards to my clients. I assure you, it wasn’t because of a lack of appreciation. So I’m here to tell you, if you’re reading this and you’re a client of mine, or a friend who has sent me a client, you have played an integral part in me building a thriving business and being able to truly live my dream life. And for that, I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you. I wish you all a most joyous holiday season full of puppy kisses and kitty snuggles. I cannot wait to continue loving on your fur babies in 2026! Including a pic of my smiling girl because who doesn’t want to see a smiling pup?

Clients, friends, family…who’s loving this weather?! 😎 Spring is finally upon us which is why I’m here to tell you that Jaime and I are nearly all booked up for sitting this spring and summer. We can almost always accommodate drop-in visits for those of you who don’t require someone stay over night. But we are having to turn people away for sitting! So if you have a trip coming up this year, or even next year, please reach out asap because I hate having to tell my clients no! And here’s a cute pic of my tripod foster baby doing a big stretch, just to make you smile today.

If any of my clients are looking to add a kitty friend to their household, my sweet foster boy is available! I’ve had him for a month so I can tell you all about him if you’re interested. He will make an amazing pet for someone looking for a funny, independent kitty.

Holy cow, Christmas is next week! And believe it or not, Jaime and I both have availability for dropins and even sitting! Seems like most people traveled throughout the year. So if you didn’t ask because you assumed we were booked or are making last minute holiday plans, we can help you out! We would be happy to give your fur babies some Holiday snuggles. Also, book us now for 2025. It’s never too early to schedule. We have bookings all the way through January of 2026, so don’t wait! Pic of snuggly Miss Luna for tax.

I decided to use my down time for something useful. In addition to being a member of Pet Sitters International, I took the extra step to get certified. What does this mean? PSI provides me with endless resources and continuing education to help me stay on top of my game and further my knowledge of pet care. I’m also part of a pet care community that shares stories, tips, and advice so we can all keep growing our businesses. The certification means that I studied materials to make sure I know the basics of how to be a good pet care provider.

In other words, I am not a “hobby” sitter. I love what I do and I love my clients and that means I will continue to learn so I can always be the best care taker for your fur babies. Next up, refreshing my vet tech knowledge by taking a first aid/cpcr class. Then on to Fear Free Certification. Because your babies deserve the best. 😉

Hello my lovely clients and friends! I’m here to share some news. Unfortunately yours truly is finally having a much needed surgery to repair a torn tendon in my hip on November 1. I will likely be on crutches for six weeks and unable to walk dogs for 2-3 months. My first and biggest fear was “what are my clients going to do?!” Lucky for me, my incredible assistant, Jaime, is stepping up to the challenge and will be covering my regulars while I’m recovering. That being said, if you have pet care needs for November or December, let us know asap! Jaime is already booked for overnights for Christmas and New Year’s but is available for Thanksgiving, and as always, dropins can almost always be accommodated. And since a couple people have already asked, yes we are taking bookings for 2025. We already have several so book us as soon as you know your travel plans!

Since everyone here is an animal lover I’m hoping someone can help me find this girl a home! This is Lily, a 12 week old shih tzu pup looking for her furever home! She is cuddly and friendly with all people and other dogs. She is an alpha female despite her tiny size. She shows her brother who’s boss. 😂 She is not AKC registered but is a full breed so current owner is asking $500 for her. She’s currently working on potty training and is getting better every day! If you or anyone you know is interested in this super sweet, super cute baby, let me know!

Happy May, my friends. It’s feeling like summer today which means I’m here to remind you to not wait a minute longer to book your pet care for your summer vacations! I’ve already had to turn down a few people because Jaime and I are filling up! Come to think of it, you might as well book your fall and winter trips too to ensure your babies will be well taken care of while you’re gone! Also, because I have recently lost a few of my weekly regulars, I’m looking to fill a slot or two in the coveted “lunchtime” hours of my weekdays so if you’re in the Beavercreek area and want someone to check in on your babes while you work a long day, let me know! Or if you’re south of town, Jaime could help you out! This is a rare offer as everyone wants that midday time frame so I’m sure it will fill asap. Here’s my dear friend, Rosie, to give you something to smile about today.

It has been a rough couple of weeks in the pet care world. I have lost several clients, 3 of which have crossed the rainbow bridge. I have the most wonderful job in the world but it is truly heart breaking sometimes. While they all deserve their own post, I don’t want to blow up your feed so this will be one long post.
Nala: this one really broke me. She was a dear friend’s pup who I have had the pleasure of caring for dozens of times over the years. She was the sweetest love bug who gave the stinkiest kisses and snored like a grown man. She lived a great, long life and will be missed by many.
Mika: I only met Mika 4 months ago and she was already in somewhat poor health but she quickly declined over the past month. She was sweet and gentle and quiet. I feel privileged to have been trusted to help care for her at the end. She also lived a long, wonderful life with a mommy who went above and beyond to care for her.
Grace: she had an awful start to life, tortured by a group of kids. But she was rescued by two wonderful mommies who spoiled her rotten. She was just as sweet as can be and did the cutest howl when she wanted to play. I’ve been caring for her for years and she left us quickly without much warning. This was another heartbreaker.
May all these pups fly high and rest easy, without an ounce of pain. Until we meet again, sweet angel babies. Donation has been made in their memory to Highland County Humane Society, where our recent foster cat was from.

Did you know that 15 minutes of mental stimulation/sniffing is as tiring for a pup as an hour long walk? It’s a gross rainy day today so my buddy Maya and I went to Lowe’s and made friends and got lots of new sights and smells! I’m always happy to take your pup on an adventure if a walk isn’t in the cards.
