About: I have a fenced in yard and a 5 year old female husky who loves making new friends. I am a PE teacher so I'm home all day during the summer. I love dogs and I would treat your furry friend as if they were my own. I have the availability to take them on walks and let them out as much as necessary. I am happy to communicate with you and learn the needs of your pet. Would love to establish consistent work with the same dogs. Please consider me as your next dog sitter. I would be happy to talk with you and answer any questions you may have I stop home for lunch daily to let the dogs out, and then I'm home by 3 during the week. I have a fenced in yard so it's easy for me to let the dogs out, as well as take them for walks or hikes. I will cater to each dog's individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feels comfortable, because that's how I want to feel when I entrust my dog with someone.

I’m so grateful to have found Mariah—will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve grew up with family pets that were dogs from small to large.I also had/have Cats.I currently only own cats but in the near future would like to have a dog again.I know basic grooming such as clipping nails and bathing.Cats can be tricky to bathe but not really a problem. I’m a stay at home mom so I’m pretty much always available during the week/weekend unless something comes up to where I am unavailable for services. I give my pets the basic care and needs they should receive such as monthly coat brushing,Bi weekly nail trims and rarely if really needed bathing.
“Wow! I am so thankful that Jennifer was able to watch my dogs this weekend. She is incredible! It is very clear she has a deep love for animals. She was so kind and gentle and understanding. She has a fenced yard so the dogs could run around and play. Her son was so amazing! He takes after his mom with his love for animals. I highly recommend them! You will not be disappointed. I felt at ease knowing they were with someone so loving.”
