Pet Sitting in Jena – Reliable Care in Your Pet's Own Home
Your pet stays in its familiar environment – with the same feeding routine, the same smells and the same territory. JenWatch visits according to a clear schedule and keeps you updated after every visit.
With our pet sitting service in Jena, your pet doesn't have to move into a boarding facility during your holidays, business trips or hospital stays. We come to your home once or twice a day, keep to your feeding and care routine and spend time with your pet.
After every visit you receive a short status message, and photos on request. If anything unusual comes up – less appetite than usual, changed behaviour, a visible injury – we contact you immediately and, if needed, get in touch with your vet in Jena.

Why choose a local service instead of an online platform?
You always deal directly with Melanie – the owner of JenWatch – not a rotating list of strangers.
We know the districts, streets and typical routines in Jena and the surrounding area.
The price you see is the price you pay – no commission or booking fees on top.
JenWatch carries business liability insurance (Barmenia Gothaer).
You receive a short status message – and photos on request – after each visit.
