Dogs need a vacation too!
Pet care experience
I have had dogs since I was little and I always knew how special they are. We currently have 2 neutered male Boston Terriers Paxton and Dolce. I don't have children so these guys are my life and when people say the dogs run the house, that is an understatement for me! I truly believe they are man's best friend and I would feel so empty without them. Other than having my own dogs, I took in a dog for a military friend who didn't have his housing yet so I watched his German Shepard for 2 months until he was settled in his new place. Dogs have a very special place in my heart and one of the reasons I started to do pet sitting is due to the love of dogs. I know how hard it is for me to leave my babies when I'm away from home, and I want you to know that your babies will be well cared for and loved as if they were my own!

Your dog will get lots of attention from myself as well as my 2 dogs as they both love to play. I am flexible as far as doing overnights, or just daycare. I am also flexible with drop off and pick up times. I have a fenced in yard and the dogs are allowed to come in and out as often as needed since I work from home and I am here all day. We have dog beds galore as well as plenty of toys to play with. I also like to have my dogs play with learning toys, such as food finding toys so they exercise their mind as well as their bodies. I walk the dogs often and I also like to take the dogs hiking.

Jen was amazing! She took care of my 2yo beagle like she was her own. My pup loved playing with her two Boston terriers. Her house is super safe and dog-friendly. Jen was attentive to my dog’s wants and needs and gave daily updates. I had a relaxing vacation knowing my dog was safe and being loved on. I will definitely be using her again.
Jen was great! She responded right away on a holiday weekend on short notice! Super thankful! She sent photos and videos often. Bruce loves his new friends! Thanks again Jen!
Prior to selecting Jen, we visited two commercial dog daycare facilities in the area. Although highly rated on Yelp, we were sorely disappointed. At one facility, we heard a dog sitter yelling at the dogs in the outdoor play area (but couldn't see what the problem was, as there was/is no on-site video monitoring). On a subsequent visit, the owner’s dog was lying on the floor sleeping with multiple piles of feces nearby. The second commercial facility visited (which did provide on-site video monitoring) smelled so bad upon entering that we decided against it as well. In stark contrast to the commercial dog daycare facilities, Jen’s home is clean, bright, cheery and very dog friendly with dog toys, beds, playpen and backyard. Jen was extremely accommodating and flexible with drop off and pick-up (on New Year’s Day, no less!) She provided pictures of our Winslow playing with her two pups (which was important to us as it was only our 2nd time away from Winslow). We had no doubt our Winslow was being well taken care of and loved on throughout his stay. Winslow came home happy and exhausted. We highly recommend Jen. If you’re looking for an experienced dog sitter that will do the job right, look no further!
Jen was wonderful! First off she was so accommodating with my flight times- allowing me to drop off early and pick up late, which was such a lifesaver. Second she kept me up to date with how my pups were doing everyday. It really alleviated the anxiety of leaving them. Beyond her care for my dogs she was just so pleasant and easy to work with. I will absolutely book with her again!

I have a fenced in yard and since I am home all day, they will get as many potty breaks as needed. We also like to take walks if that is something your dog likes to do.
Home
Information Jen H. would like to know about your pet
At this time I am only taking dogs up to 40 lbs. All dogs must be current on vaccinations. If they are on special medication I have no problem administering orally or topically but I am not familiar with injections. If there is anything that makes your dog uncomfortable or scared, I would like to know as to hopefully avoid putting them in that situation. It's also good to know what you as the owner do if something arises to comfort your pet so I can follow suit. Please feel free to bring comfort items from home like blankets and toys Helpful information about your pet would include: allergies energy level feeding schedule Must get along with other dogs
A typical day
Overnight dogs will receive morning walks, as well as afternoon walks (weather dependent). In addition, lots of playtime for everyone. Dogs will receive lots of snuggles, belly rubs, and personal attention. Pet owners are welcome to bring any comforts from home to make your pup's vacation more relaxing.
