About: I've taken care of my own pets and many of the pets of family, friends, and neighbors for over twenty years. I also have a service dog who I've trained mostly on my own, with refinement help from a professional, so you can feel confident that your fur family will receive exceptional care and attention from a patient and knowledgeable handler. I have an open and flexible schedule every day of the week, so it shouldn't be difficult to match what you need for your pet(s)! I have a 4yo poodle service dog who would only need to be with me for overnight stays or if your dog(s) would like a mid day playmate. He's incredibly sociable and energetic when off duty. Either together or solo, I will make sure to follow any routines or specific instructions we discuss and care for your fur family as if they were my own.
“Jen was fantastic! She took our lab Derek for a walk everyday and even trained him how to walk while on a harness. Something we hadn’t been able to do for years! Very accommodating and when we needed her to come by an extra time there was no hesitation to help us out. If you need someone to help out with your dog while you are away , you will not find anther person more caring, loving or helpful with your “Rover” than Jen!”

About: I bring lifelong experience in canine care, beginning in childhood and continuing through the present. I currently care for five dogs and have extensive hands-on experience managing multiple dogs at once, including the care of three litters and several additional dogs in the past. I am available seven days a week with flexible hours. At this time, I am seeking a position that offers flexibility rather than a full-time commitment, and I am eager to pursue work that aligns with my experience and interests. If needed, I am able to safely crate your dog or place them in a designated area. I am experienced in handling dogs that are uncomfortable walking on a leash and can manage them calmly and confidently. I also ensure that all basic needs are met before departure, including providing food and fresh water.

“Karra walked my dog for three consecutive afternoons on very short notice. She was extremely responsive and communicative. I would definitely recommend her support and will look for her in the future!”
“Emilee has been great with my pup! She goes above and beyond to give him a long walk each day, with an occasional run (amazing!), and gives him lots of love and playtime. It's so nice knowing my pup is being cared for while I'm at work and enjoying his time with her!”
“Eden was just what we needed to help cover a gap in our schedules. Our dog Carson is strong-willed and strong bodied at 40lbs of solid muscle. Eden had no problem handling both aspects. Carson walked further for longer and put herself straight to bed from exhaustion every night. She truly enjoyed her walks with Eden almost more than she enjoys walking with us! That speaks volumes for Eden’s care and skill in giving our girl the quality exploration and exercise time she needs. Will definitely use Eden again for future needs.”
