Why I Started Nanna Jen’s Services

Animals have been part 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.

More Than Just Pet Sitting

Many pet sitters provide feeding, toileting and company.

My focus goes deeper.

I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, routine,

emotional wellbeing and individual needs.

Because great pet care isn’t just about looking after pets

it’s about helping them feel safe, understood and loved.

A Final Word From Nanna Jen

Thank you for taking the time to learn a little more about me and Nanna Jen's Services.

I understand that inviting someone into your home and trusting them with

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 peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and capable hands.

I look forward to meeting you and your pets.

Warm regards,

Nanna Jen 🐾❤️
