Hey there, I’m Jen. I’m new on Rover but I’ve been taking care of dogs and my family pup since I was a child. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but since I live in a one-bed apartment, it’s sadly not the right time for me but I love having the opportunity through Rover. I work from home and live with my two cats so your baby will get non-stop attention. I only board small to medium-sized dogs (with some rare exceptions, feel free to ask). I specialize and care for lots of puppies, young and old, big and small, and elderly dogs that need extra medical care. Also, dogs that are extremely shy and not usually good with other dogs. I sadly don't have a yard but can let the dogs out 4 to 6 times a day for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding, and of course taking care of my pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. For me, it’s their stay, their way! They lead me on their walks, so I allow them to safely do what they want, within reason of course. Pet stores are a given. And I will make sure your fur babies are provided with lots of treats, healthy snacks, unlimited belly rubs, cuddles, and one-on-one playtime. If your dog is less active, we can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable. I do ask that you bring your dog's food, their food and water bowl, a non-retractable leash, a collar with an ID tag, any medications, and a crate- if your dog uses one. I also encourage you to write out a detailed summary of your dog's typical schedule along with feeding instructions for me to follow. Any instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your little buddy happy! My days start early, so drop-off and pickup times are pretty flexible and I can work around your pup's needs. In general, I do not allow pick-ups or drop-offs before 7:00 am or after 9:00 pm unless you coordinate with me in advance. Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I will love your pooch with everything I have. I am comfortable with house-sitting as well if that is easier for your pups. Your dog must be dog/cat friendly, spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, as well as free from fleas/ parasites and contagious diseases (i.e canine flu, kennel cough, or worms) If you have any questions don’t be afraid to shoot me a message and ask away. If you’d like to book a reservation with me I encourage you to set up a meet and greet with me so that I can be aware of any special needs/additional information and will make sure to be respectful of all of your requests. I look forward to welcoming and caring for your sweet one. Just tell me about their usual day and I’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! ☺️
