Our dog, Millie, is a bit finicky to say the least. When our previous dog walker told us that we needed to find a new walker due to her reentry into the work force, we panicked. Jennifer came highly recommended by a couple of other dog walkers in the area and we couldn't be happier with the time, love, and security she provided Millie. Initially, Jennifer spent over an hour speaking with us about Millie's routine and preferences. We voiced our concerns with Millie being around other dogs and being scared to go out if it is raining or storming. Jennifer gave updates everyday about interactions with other dogs, whether they were good or bad. She also planned Millie's walk times around storms, if at all possible. Millie even got into the habit of jumping in the bathtub when it was storming and knocking everything down. Jennifer didn't even think twice when I asked her to remove my razor from the side of the bathtub so that Millie would not cut herself. She was amazing! Jennifer also gave us a lot of tips and contact information for a behaviorist when we became more and more concerned with her aggressive behavior. We always loved getting the text messages from Jennifer after their adventures in Chicago. Millie may become a star one day after going to the set of Chicago Fire, introducing herself to a Chicago Blackhawks player, and joining a pole dancing class at Flirty Girl Fitness. To sum it up, anyone would be incredibly lucky to be able to introduce Jennifer into their pet's life (not to mention their own). I wish we weren't moving out of state (or maybe that we could bring Jennifer with us)! Millie will greatly miss her. read more

Jen is just the absolute best. When we got our first dog we were nervous about all types of things. Jen not only set up the walking, but gave us so much advice and was always happy to give us advice when we experienced new things we weren't sure about (like kennel training, his first time vomiting!). She taught us so much and made it easier for us to transition to being dog parents. Also, our pup Bacon LOVES Jen (and many of her walkers). The few times I was home but still had Jen walk Bacon, the way he lit up when she came in was just the best. I swear when we'd get to talking he'd be like "wrap it up guys, this is my time with Jen." She is the best and highly recommended! FYI - pictures uploaded are taken by Jen/her walkers. read more

Poopanators - Pet Sitting Near Me

I met Jen while I was walking my newly adopted rescue pup, Jackson. As we expressed our mutual admiration for the others' dog, I learned she was a dog walker. I was in the process of looking for someone to walk Jackson but wasn't sure where to start - and couldn't believe I had met someone with such a kind heart. She and her other walkers took such great care of Jackson for over two years, frequently going above and beyond what I would have expected, giving special attention to his fear issues. Any dog parent would be lucky to have her take care of their dog -- she's very conscientious & treats all of her clients as if they were her own. Wishing her all the best with her move to Colorado! read more

Jen and her Poopanators business are a life saver!! I have a young, high energy goldendoodle that suffers from bad separation anxiety. If I have to leave the house for 3 or 4 hours I always book a 30-minute walk with Poopanators so that Daisy isn't crated for that entire time. Daisy is so happy when "Aunt Jen" shows up. Jen not only gets Daisy the exercise she really needs but works hard to help me with her socialization training, and getting her comfortable and calm on the trail when she sees other dogs. Thank you Jen!! Daisy loves you. read more

Jennifer is awesome! She is such a great cat sitter and spent time playing with our cats, came twice a day to feed wet food, gave our cat her medicine and really went the extra mile for us. It's nice to have someone near our condo in the West Loop who we can trust. Jen really loves animals and it shows. We highly recommend Jennifer of Poopanators for cat sitting!! read more

Jen and her team are the best! Very dependable, friendly and professional. These walks are the highlight of my dogs week!

Jen and her team were our dog walkers for our beloved family dog Hero while we lived in Chicago for three years. Jen treated Hero as one of her own and he loved his walks with her & team. Our dog is older and didn't do well in kennels so Jen watched Hero when we did out of town trips. Poopanators is extremely reliable and does a fantastic job staying in communication with you. They are flexible (i.e. need to have them skip a day, etc.) and provide photo updates/check-ins to let you know when the walk is completed. They were attentive when Hero needed shorter walks when dealing with any health issues as well. We felt extremely comfortable welcoming Jen and her team into our home and loved getting to know them over the years. We greatly missed Jen when we left Chicago and can't recommend the Poopanators team enough for those in Denver! read more

Jennifer's Poopanators were our dogwalker and dogsitter for many years in Chicago (until she moved and brought her business to Denver). We miss her immensely as she was incredibly caring for our sweet 10-year old malti-poo girl, Izzy. Jen consistently went above and beyond our expectations as a dog caregiver to ensure that Izzy was always taken care of. We used Jen to dogsit overnight in her home frequently. There were times when Izzy needed extra attention due to illness/injury, and Jen was extremely attentive to that and even took her to the Vet on our behalf when a situation arose. We are forever grateful for the care she showed Izzy, and we would recommend her to anyone looking for extremely passionate care for their furry children. read more

Jen from Poopanators has walked our dog Connor for the past couple years. She actively worked with us to support Connor's training and ease his high anxiety. On cold or wet days when a full walk wasn't possible, Jen would create obstacle courses for him to burn off his energy. He LOVED it! She found ways to calm his anxiety, and was able to build a great relationship with him. The sweetest thing was when I'd catch Jen telling Connor that she loved him as she was leaving each day. They really had a tight bond. Although we are sad for Jen to be moving to Colorado, we wish her the best of luck as she launches her business in Denver. read more

We used Jennifer at Poopanators here in Chicago before she moved to Denver. It was great having someone so reliable and who really cared about our 3 kitties. Our older cat Thelma is diabetic and it was critical that we have someone comfortable giving insulin shots. Jennifer also took care of mixing in prescription medication into Thelma's food and made sure she ate before shots were administered, which anyone with a diabetic pet knows is critical. Jennifer brushed, petted and played with the kitties, and kept the litter box scooped and the area clean. She also sent pics and updates every day, which I loved. We were able to travel and be away from the kitties with confidence, knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend. read more

We just returned from a very lengthy 3 week vacation, the longest we have been away from our two cats. We found Jennifer of Poopanators through a recommendation of our buildings door person. They see a lot of pet sitters coming and going from our building and they highly recommended her, they were right, Jennifer is an angel for pets of all kinds. In the past we always worried other sitters would just run in feed/water and scoop and out the door within minutes, we know Jennifer did many extended stays with our cats over the 3 weeks. The proof came from our cat named Pepper, affectionately called "fat-ass". Jenifer stopped over when we returned to finalize the bill, Pepper plopped down in front of her and insisted on being petted... I'm afraid she spoiled him! read more

We love Jen and her amazing service. As a licensed dog walker myself, moving to a new city meant finding the best of the best-- the daily photos and emails while we are away, the last minute flexibility: a great company with amazing customer care. Don't hesitate to book then for your animal care! read more

Five stars doesn't even do Jen and her team justice compared to how amazing they are. My pup, Apollo has been with Jen since the day we brought him home and I couldn't be more thankful to have discovered Poopanators. Apollo has behavioral issues and isn't good with strangers so it can be hard finding dog walkers and daycares that will work with us/him. Jen has gone above and beyond and Apollo might love her more than us! When we moved she went out of her way to continue to walk Apollo knowing he isn't good with new people. This is our first time owning a dog together and Jen is our rock, support and knowledge when it comes to handling Apollo within our building and outside with strangers. We've worked with several trainers and Jen consistently asks how things are going and wants us to teach her what we learn so she can mimic it with Apollo to work on his behavioral issues. I truly don't know what we do without her and her team - they are the absolute best! read more
