Jennifer Morrone took her first Pet First Aid Class in 2014 when she launched her pet sitting business. Jennifer wanted to be able provide her clients peace of mind that she could handle any situation that might happen while they were away. In 2020, when it came time to renew her certification again, Jennifer decided to take an online course through Pet Sitters International as a part of their certification program. After reviewing the course several times to prepare for the exam, Jennifer realized that the information was becoming natural recall and wanted to provide the same opportunity to her team and fellow pet lovers across the Virginia Peninsula. Jennifer Morrone has been trained to teach animal life-saving skills by Denise Fleck, the Pet Safety Crusader™, who has taught more than 20,000 humans Pet First Aid and CPCR. Jennifer is delighted to bring this program to the community.
