DOGS ARE PEOPLE TOO!
Pet care experience
I have been honored to be the guardian and playmate of dogs for over 30 years. What we have to remember is this: All creatures deserve gentleness, kindness, respect and love. Dante says that we can judge the progress of a nation by the way in which its animals are treated. Dante had it goin' on. As an older (much older!) returning graduate student at the U of MN, your dog will receive lots of snuggling, exercise and erudite conversation (not in that pompous, nauseating way). We'll listen to classical music and maybe even read some (canine appropriate poetry)! We may cuddle/relax in front of the occassional French New Wave or Italian Neo-Realist film. I am perfectly comfortable walking, jogging with, playing ball with or "dog parking" your family member. I of course pay close attention to heat index, hydration, potential socialization issues and safety. I have a SWEET gentle Samoyed named Dr. Pangloss who can be a wonderful play parter, or simply a calming presence. He is an ESA and in training to be a hospital therapy dog.
Reviews
Jeannine was great to work with from beginning to end! She was so helpful in setting up a meet n' greet, and was thorough in making sure all of Olive's needs would met before her big stay. After meeting Jeannine and Dr. Pan, I was confident Olive was in good hands. Jeannine kept us updated on Olive's activities with awesome photos, and we returned to a very happy and relaxed doggie. I highly recommend Jeannine and look forward to working with her again.
I could not have asked for a better scenario. Frequent communication, photos, and updates. Trust me, your pet will be in amazing hands. I highly recommend Jeannine!!!
Jeannine was great! She sent lots of pics of Chase throughout the day. She made Chase feel at home!
Jeannine is amazing! Such careful attention to our pooch, including multiple daily walks and great pictures! She truly treated our dog as if he was her own. We’ll definitely be asking her to hang out with our pup again!

Information Jeannine F. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog a dog-dog or a people-dog? Would your dog like the company of my playful, gentle Samoyed, or prefer to be in a separate area most of the time? Is there anything special that would make your pet more comfortable? Is your furry family member a low, moderate or frequent barker? What are the calming things you do when your dog becomes nervous or worried?
A typical day
There is a completely enclosed dog park within walking distance of my loft. In addition, there is a separate enclosure for small or timid dogs. We may also walk in one of the many nearby grassy parks or just relax under a nice shady tree for some people/bird/rabbit/squirrel watching. We could play fetch (in a safe completely enclosed area) if your dog enjoys a good chase! Of course we could just hang out at home and snuggle while we watch a good film or ponder the meaning of life...
