I have known Jeanine for a long time (40 years), and I have always known how much she loves dogs. In the past couple of years we have spent a great deal of time together, and I have seen in detail how she and her dog (Raina) interact. There is a strong relationship between them, and respect goes both ways. When needed, Jeanine disciplines with love, not with anger. Raina has some health problems, and Jeanine will gladly go the extra mile to make sure Raina gets the care she needs to make sure Raina is comfortable. Play is as pleasurable for one as the other, Jeanine would treat any dog in her care as she treats Raina, I would have no worries leaving my dog in Jeanine's care.

I’m happy to recommend Jeanine for a dog walking position. I’ve known her for many years, and during that time I’ve seen firsthand her deep love for animals—especially dogs—and her natural ability to care for them with patience and compassion. In years past Jeanine was actively involved in working with comfort dogs through Lutheran Church Charities, where she consistently demonstrated a calm, gentle presence that puts both dogs and people at ease. Her attentiveness to each dog’s needs, along with her reliability and strong sense of responsibility, make her someone you can truly trust with the care of your pets. What stands out most is how genuine her connection with dogs is. She doesn’t just look after them—she understands them. Whether it’s ensuring they feel safe, engaged, and well-exercised, or simply offering affection and reassurance, she goes above and beyond in her care. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and experienced dog walker.

Greetings! As far as petcare, as a fellow dog parent, I know for myself that the main hesitancy of using a petcare facility would be trust. I ask myself, "Is this person, who will be caring for my beloved dog, trustworthy?" Be assured that Jeanine is most definitely trustworthy and a compassionate caregiver to both humans and animals. I've been a friend and parishioner of Jeanine for 5 years. Her background of non-denominational Christian ministry supports this trustworthiness of loving care, as well as me being a personal witness to her years of her compassion for both humans and animals. Jeanine personally has a German Shepherd dog who is very well loved and cared for. She is familiar with creating healthy, fresh food additions to her dog's diet, is knowledgeable about the importance of enrichment activities for pets, and is familiar with various dog body language cues. Most importantly, Jeanine is trustworthy! Biblical scripture emphasizes stewardship over animals. Your beloved dog will always receive loving and attentive care with Jeanine.  Respectfully, a friend of Jeanine & fellow dog parent, Denise

I have known Jeanine for over 20 years and she is amazing with dogs! She has an intuitive, calming demeanor and dogs feel relaxed around her. All of her dogs throughout the years have been well trained and well -mannered. She has spent a great deal of her time training, walking, and caring for them. Jeanine is also an excellent communicator and an extremely reliable person. In addition to the dogs/pets loving her, their owners will love working with her as well.

I have known Jeanine for several years and have seen her dedication to dogs firsthand. Having worked with her and her German Shepherds, I can attest to her deep understanding of canine behavior and her calm, confident handling skills. She is one of the few people I would trust wholeheartedly with my own dogs. Anyone looking for a responsible, attentive, and knowledgeable caretaker would be lucky to have Jeanine looking after their pets.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Jeanine’s expertise with dogs. She has a deep understanding of canine behavior and is adept at meeting the different needs of each dog entrusted to her care. Jeanine brings genuine love and patience to every interaction she has with dogs, and the dogs respond well to her calm, confident, patient, loving, and nurturing nature. Anyone working with Jeanine can feel confident and comfortable knowing their beloved pet is in capable and loving hands.
