Your Pup Will Be Spoiled!
Pet care experience
NOTE: We have moved! We are no longer living in the Silver Lake area but have moved to Lake Stevens. We love every single one of our clients and their pups, but understand we may no longer be a convenient resource for you. For those of you who will need to find another sitter: we apologize for the inconvenience. Thank you for sharing your pups with us. We will miss you. My roommate and I love having dogs in our home to play with, talk to and cuddle with. Dog-sitting is always a wonderful adventure! We’ve been caring for our own dogs for 16 years, and love looking after the pets of friends and family. Someday, we hope to foster dogs, too! We don't currently have dogs of our own. My roommate lost his yellow lab, Cheyanne, about two years ago, and I lost my Shih Tzu, Hannah, earlier this year. We both have a lot of love to share with our guests! I have more experience with smaller breeds, and my roommate has always had Labs. My teenage daughter loves dogs to no end, and she’ll often be around to look after them; I also have a twelve-year-old son who enjoys puppy playtime when he’s at home. The dogs in our care will get lots of attention from all four of us! On weekends we might go hiking or spend time gardening, toss a frisbee around at the park, or sit in the sun to read. We live in the neighborhood in Lake Stevens. There is a little park nearby and lots of areas to walk and explore. We have a fenced backyard, where lots of squirrels and birds take advantage of our berry bushes. There aren't too many dogs nearby, so your dog would be able to relax and explore our yard without being disturbed. In the summer, we often leave our back door open for pups to come and go as they please. I’m patient, generous, and incredibly affectionate. My love for dogs is boundless. When we’re hanging out, I like to talk to them--full, lengthy conversations about everything under the sun! There’s nothing I love more than discovering a pup’s personality and getting to know them.
Reviews
Jen is such an amazing person. She has a great, calm energy, is very experienced, and is amazing with dogs. My dogs are always excited when they arrive, and they settle into their second home with Jen in no time. It's incredibly comforting knowing how much they adore our dogs. 😀
My dog had a great time with Jen, she has been to her place twice, she refused to go home each time.
Jen has been caring for my dogs for a few years. The experiences have been always possible. I no longer need updates while my dogs staying with her because I trust her fully. She is the perfect person to care for your dogs, believe me.
Another smooth and reassuring stay for our pups! Jen and her household helpers are always so welcoming to our family AND our fur babies, and she's great about sending little updates and photos to put us at ease, especially during our longer trips. We will continue to book with and recommend Jen!

Information Jen S. would like to know about your pet
Everything that makes your pet unique, from their needs to their personality, will help! We happily welcome all kinds of dogs, and the more we know about their histories and their preferences, the more focused the care we’ll be able to provide. Info about allergies, medications, restrictions, emergency care, and so on is particularly vital for a safe, successful stay. We’ll get to know each other via meet and greet. I’ll be sure to ask any questions that I have, and follow up as needed.
A typical day
We’ll start off the morning with fresh air in the backyard, and a nice breakfast. I’ll take the pup out for a brisk walk, then they can spend the morning in our fenced backyard chasing birds or squirrels. While I’m at work, my daughter--who is an online high school student--and roommate will take turns looking after the pup. They might take the dog for a walk, go to a dog park, or get playtime at home. In the evening, we’ll take a long walk before settling in for the night. The dog will be welcome to sleep wherever they feel comfortable. On weekends, we might go for a hike!
