Jen Dethro has run Jen's Pet Sitting for 19 years starting in Santa Barbara and now operating out of 4511 Saratoga Ave in OB as a licensed, bonded, and insured in-home pet care service covering Point Loma, Sunset Cliffs, Ocean Beach, and surrounding neighborhoods. Cat clients board in a fully enclosed outdoor Catio that protects indoor-outdoor kitties during owner travel, a specialized setup often flagged on referral from mobile small-animal specialists such as Dawn Ziegler DVM whose senior-cat clients prefer staying in familiar spaces. Services run in-home cat visits with feeding, litter, and medication, dog walks along the OB coastline, overnight house-sitting, and hotel-room pet sits for visiting wedding and event guests. Every visit includes text updates with photos and video so traveling owners can see their pet in real time rather than waiting for a next-day report. Hotel and short-term rental pet sits are a growing part of the book, pairing with vacation stays at places such as Blue Heron Cottages where traveling owners need daytime care while they sightsee or attend events. The most involved project on the calendar is a multi-week live-in house-sit for a multi-pet household combining dogs, cats, and occasionally fish or reptiles, maintaining each animal's individual feeding schedule, medication rotation, and exercise routine under one roof.
