About: With over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I have been lucky enough to share my life with so many wagging tails and happy paws. I only take one pup a day, guaranteeing undivided attention, plenty of playtime, cuddles, and love. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a long walk, or just some quiet time together, I make sure every moment is special. I work from home, which means I can give your doggy my full attention throughout the day. Whether it’s a quick belly rub between meetings, a game of fetch during lunch, or just being there to provide comfort and companionship, your pooch will never feel lonely. My home is a doggy paradise with over 1000 sqft of space for your fur baby to run around. For added safety, I have dog gates to create secure spaces, and a chest full of toys to keep your pooch happy and engaged. My apartment building has a huge unfenced backyard where your pup can enjoy supervised playtime on leash and explore to their heart’s content. It is a wonderful pet-friendly area with plenty of parks and walking opportunities. I work from home, which means I can give your doggy my full attention throughout the day.

She pays great attention to detail and makes sure everything is done properly. I feel completely safe and comfortable leaving my dog with her — highly recommended!”
“Jennifer is absolutely incredible. Larry my puppy is 3 months so I was nervous to leave him with anyone, let alone a stranger. She quickly put my mind at ease when I watched her interact with Larry.

My schedule changed 4x over a 2 week stretch and Jennifer made a stressful situation very comforting. I actively using her services and will continue to.”

My dog sitter cancelled last minute before a friends wedding, Kat was able to take my dog in on an hours notice. Kat provided pictures/updates through out the stay, and was exceptionally accommodating to the last minute booking. I highly recommend Kat for your pet sitting needs.
Danny (and Rebecca) showed much patience when I called. He answered my questions, even if I repeated (I'm older and sometimes forget). He reassured me when I asked what his daily dog schedule is When I made inquiry with concern about Meshy's foibles, he was direct, informative. He did not personalize as a question of his ability, but understood questions as a concern about dog behavior. When we setup MEET & GREET, he introduced dogs, 1 at a time, giving Meshy and his dogs, a chance to meet without being overwhelmed. He remained approachable, but let Meshy approach him in his own time. I found Danny to be alert and perceptive to dogs, patient with my concerns as 'dog parent'. I would definitely return for care for Meshy.

Kathy responded to our initial request incredibly quickly and couldn’t have been kinder. From the start, she was attentive and understanding—especially important for us since our dog can be a bit anxious in new environments. During our first drop-off, she took the time to help him feel comfortable and safe, and we were relieved to hear that he had settled down shortly after we left. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We’re so happy to have found someone we trust, and we’ve already booked with her again for an upcoming multi-night stay. Highly recommended!
