Why I Started Nanna Jen’s Services
Animals have been at the heart of my life for more than 40 years.
After spending over 20 years caring for people as a nurse, I recognized that many pets need the same patience, compassion and understanding.
Nanna Jen’s Services was created to provide calm, personalized in-home care for pets who
deserve more than a quick visit or kennel environment.
Today, I specialize in supporting senior, anxious, rescue and special-needs pets across
Brisbane, Moreton Bay and the Sunshine Coast.

A Final Word From Nanna Jen
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me and Nanna Jen's Services.
Whether you're planning a holiday or simply looking for someone you can trust, I understand that inviting someone into your home and caring for a beloved pet is a big decision.
It's a responsibility I never take lightly.
Whether your pet is young or old, confident or anxious, healthy or needing a little extra support, my goal is always the same—to provide the kind of care I would want for my own pets.
Every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable and loved while their family is away, and every family deserves the peace of mind that comes from knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands.
My Promise to Every Family
Every booking is personally provided by me.
No contractors.
No rotating carers.
No unfamiliar faces.
Just calm, consistent care from your first meet and greet until you return home.
I look forward to meeting you and your pets.
Warm regards,
Nanna Jen 🐾❤️
