Animal lover looking for dogs to spoil!!!

Pet care experience

My husband and I own a ranch home with a finished basement and fully fenced yard. We would love to watch your fur-baby for as long as you are away. We do have cats so the dog would need to be okay with other animals. All but our youngest cat have been around dogs and tend to favor avoidance. The oldest cat has been attacked by a dog and is somewhat defensive but we have precautions to keep them either separate or introduced slowly and safely for all parties. There is also a Hedgehog in residence but your baby would not be interacting with him so don't worry! I currently work from home so your dog would have almost 24/7 care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! About this sitter: I am a happily married 27 year old living in Racine, WI. I recently graduated from the Milwaukee Institute of art and design and am working on on my painting inventory. I have had all manner of pets big and small, and all species whether reptile, mammal, or avian. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs all of my life. I grew up with larger dogs but love all breeds big and small! I take our dogs to all of their classes and have experience training dogs. My husband also loves dogs and has had them his whole life. We both look forward to caring for your puppy! Meet my pets We live in a ranch house with a fully fenced yard. about 4 blocks walk to a large park and a short drive to the forest preserve!!! We have cats but they have been exposed to dogs before and we will take all precautions to make sure that your dog is safe and comfortable! About my yard We have a fully fenced back yard that was listed as .18 acres when we bought the house. It's nothing huge but is plenty of room for your baby to stretch their legs in between walks or trips to the park! My experience administering medication I have pilled both cats and dogs. I have also administered liquid oral meds and would not have a problem giving shots with a quick overview.

People find pleasure and connection in the enthusiasm, kindness and affection that animals give freely. Jennifer Schretter understands that connection between animals and can provide the professional approach needed in caring of them. Animals are a wonderful part of a person’s life. They give us unconditional love. When a person needs a pet sitter they look for someone who will take the time to understand their pet and Jennifer is that special person. I have seen her personal interactions with dogs, cats and other animals. She has a special way of handling animals and treating them with love yet ensuring that they are well behaved to receive the best possible care. For the past 5 years, I have personally seen the special bond Jennifer has between animals thus I can personally recommend her for a pet sitting position. Any family’s pet would truly benefit from her services.

Jennifer is a caring and patient person when it comes to her animals. She has owned many pets including dogs and cats as well as a variety of others. She always provides the best food, toys, and care for her pets treating them as one of the family. She is very knowledgeable when it comes to animals in general but especially pets. She enjoys playing and having fun with her pets to keep them engaged, happy, and active. Jennifer maintains verbal and positive discipline with her pets as well, ensuring they have consistency with rules and do not get out of hand. She attentive to changes in mood or behavior in order to properly assess a situation in order to determine if a pet is just being odd or noisy or is actually in need of something. Personally, I would trust her to watch over any pet I might have due to her level of care and concern she shows for her own pets.

Jennifer has been an animal-lover her entire life and has owned and been around animals of every type and size. I can't think of a better person to leave your dog with while you are away from home. What more could you want for your best friend when you can't be there yourself? I would definitely trust Jennifer with my own dog as well! She is a wonderful, fun-loving person who is sure to give your dog a lot of love and attention.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We live in a wonderful quiet neighborhood with lots of other dog owners. we are also just a few blocks from a large park and maybe a 5 minute drive from a forest preserve. I also believe there is a dog park nearby and I would love to check it out with your leashed pup!! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your pup will have the options of sleeping in our fully finished basement (where we spend most of our time) or in the guest bed room. He is welcome to any of the cat beds we have around the house and if he is allowed on the bed and your home he is welcome to sleep on the guest bed in ours!! Time I'll spend with your dog I work at home right now so short of grocery runs or errands your dog will be with me all day!!
