Fear Free Certified Fun!

Having grown up on a 20 acre farm for most of my life, I have cared for all shapes and sizes of animals - from horses to snakes, and everything in between! When I moved into an apartment for college, I missed the "dog energy" in our household and set to volunteering hundreds of hours at the Humane Society, which also included basic training skills and walking the most aggressive 100+lb leash pullers. This later evolved into working at a veterinary clinic where I was trained to monitor recovering animals and administer medications safely and with as little stress as possible through Fear Free certification. Animal body language is my second language! I love the outdoors as much as the indoors, and am more than happy to accommodate medical needs. ♡ If you would like extras taken care of during your pets stay or our visit, such as bathing, grooming, nail trims, or a run, just let me know! My dog, Leo, and I are constantly going on hikes and we are more than happy to tucker your pups out with a day trip, just reach out for rates. I currently work as a Braille Librarian for the state and used to teach Low Vision/Blind learners, and I am also fluent in American Sign Language (ASL), so I have a soft spot for dogs that may be Deaf, Blind, or DeafBlind. To top it all off, I am working on weaseling my way into Guide Dog puppy raising, and all the training tips that come along with that. ( :

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Using the Fear Free method, I work with a pet's body language to determine what will work best in the current situation, and when methods may be effective versus stressful. I am ready to go at your pet's pace with whatever they may need, and clearly communicate the process along the way.

J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.

Where do I start? Jenna was awesome!! We did a meet and greet with her dog Leo at the park and that went very well. Jenna loves animals and is a very friendly, competent and accomplished young woman. I was a little concerned about leaving Lindy at first because her dog Leo has a house mate....a cat. I wasn't sure how this would go over with Lindy, but on first meeting they looked at each other with a bit of wonder, but a couple of days into the visit Jenna sent me a picture of the three of them sleeping together. Jenna was very prompt to respond to texts and sent pictures everyday. The bottom line is Jenna was the best dog sitter I have encountered using Rover.Com. I will definitely be back.

Another FABULOUS visit with Jenna, Martha, and Leo! They were so flexible when our car broke down and our weekend trip was unexpectedly extended, and Blaze never wanted to come home he had such a great time!

Jenna was AMAZING!! Hikes, a visit to a farm, etc. etc. - Blaze was VERY VERY well taken care! I got tons of pictures and videos while I was gone, and Blaze loved spending time with their dog and cat. I will definitely always choose Jenna first!

I love all types and personalities! Just give me a heads up for anything to watch out for (toy aggression, mobility issues, maximum length for walks, allergies for treats, etc.). Please make sure that your dog is up to date on vaccinations, and let me know if there are any medical concerns that we should be aware of and should look out for. If you have a puppy that is not fully vaccinated yet, please let me know so that I can best accommodate.
