About: I’ve owned my own dogs all throughout my adult life and raised each of them from puppies. I also helped whelp a litter as well. Currently a full time student so I need loads of distractions. I’ve worked mainly with high energy hunting dogs but I love them all and would love to entertain l! If I am to pet sit at a clients house it would be first a walk right when there to ease my presence in! Some playtime would happen after an hour of tummy rest!

About: I have been around dogs and cats for as long i can remember, I take care of my sisters 3 German Shepards when she's out if town or working, I also watch alot of my friends dogs when they need help letting them out or staying with them if they are going to be gone for a few days. I run my own business so can make my own schedule to meet with my customers schedules as well. Very flexible on my days and times for stopping by your house. Have a fenced in yard at the house if they were to ever come over and play with my sisters dogs (if owner is ok with that) Can let the dogs out inside yoyr fenced in area and sit outside until they come in. Can also do the same if they go on leashed or chain around the yard. Will sit outside until it's time to go back in the house.

“Jen is an animal lover with a heart of gold. She shows total care and consideration for animals and will make sure your dog feels special and well cared for. I'd trust her with my dog anytime!”
7. Kaleigh D.
“Kaleigh has a special relationship with animals and their humans. She understands pets are family and loves them as her own. Kaleigh gets to know each animal’s personality and genuinely cares about their preferences and routine. As someone who has a dog that is very particular with people and has special needs including medication, this put me at ease. My dog Cooper and Kaleigh formed an instant bond which made it enjoyable for us all whenever I was away. Not to mention, I always came back to a clean home, just as I left it! She provided updates about the fun things they did and always included the important details about mealtimes, meds, and potty breaks, quickly notifying me of any changes or concerns. I could always tell Cooper loved when Kaleigh came to visit…he even does the cutest head tilt when I mention her name! Kaleigh will quickly go from being a your dog sitter to your dog’s new best friend!!”
