Pet care experience
I have extensive experience with dogs and cats. Starting from a young age, I was surrounded by animals. For the last 15 years, I volunteered with a German Shepherd rescue, specializing in seniors, neglect/abuse, and hospice/palliative, and dogs with medical issues requiring a higher level of care. I am also certified in First Aid for pets. I am comfortable with administering meds, wound care, physical therapy as directed by a veterinarian/rehab therapist and any other conditions your pet may have. Furthermore, I am a certified canine massage therapist, working on my national board certification with NBCAAM, and can work with your pups with anything from behavior modification and desensitization, general massage, and massage for certain conditions, i.e. lymphatic drainage; pre/post surgery. I have limited experience with cats, but am able to do general care, such as feeding, cleaning litter pans, and administering medications. I am also available for livestock - horses, goats, chicken, etc.
Reviews
Jen is an all-around dog expert, but I am especially grateful for her understanding and manner with larger dogs that have anxiety/fear issues. I have two very large dogs, one of whom does not do well with most people. However, he loves Jen and I have the utmost trust in her to keep him safe and happy when we are away. She is fabulous with both of our dogs and I definitely have peace of mind leaving them with her. Jen is extremely knowledgeable regarding canine health, emotion, and behavior which is another aspect I really appreciate about her. I highly recommend her services!
Jennifer is very knowledgable about animals and took great care of my cats and elderly dog. My dog was recently diagnosed with a degenerative disease and Jennifer was able to explain to me some behaviors she had observed. I will rebook Jennifer!
I have known Jenn for over 17 years and simply cannot say enough good things about her. She will literally go to any length to make sure pets in her care are happy, comfortable, safe, and warm. She is incredibly conscientious and completely marvelous with her attention to detail. You will never meet another person with a heart as big as Jenn's!
Jennifer is truly the most wonderful pet caregiver I’ve ever known! Truly has devoted her life to taking care of all kinds of animals not matter disability more disease. Animals know when you’re a good person or not by gravitating toward you and every animal I’ve seen will eat right out of her hand 🥰

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy. Lucy is an older lab mix who is friendly to dogs, but does not want to play. There are also two cats in the home. For safety and the comfort of everyone, a home visit and pet parent discussion is required before committing to boarding in my home. I will also have an intake form to complete for each pet, detailing their current foods, meds, exercise and play preferences; also veterinary information and emergency contacts.
Home
Information Jennifer J. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know a basic medical history; current meds; current vet. What are their quirks? Do they like to be touched? Any behavioral concerns (please note, I can assist in behavior modification), how they react to humans, and other animals.
A typical day
Depending on the pet, I will go for long walks in new areas; play with them with their favorite toys or try to teach new tricks.

Availability
I am currently working part-time doing remote work, and am generally available for in-home pet care and pet sitting, along with boarding. Because canine massage therapy is my career, I am 100% focused on the comfort and safety of your pets.
