Availability
Pet sitting is my full-time job!! First, daycare hours are roughly 7:30-5:30 daily. Daycare is just that, daycare. Please make sure your pet has eaten before arriving. If I'm feeding your pet(s) meals and administering medications, whether it's overnight or not, I consider that boarding. If you need to drop off earlier or pick up later, please communicate your needs with me ahead of time and I will do my best to accommodate. Second, I simply cannot stress this enough... Timeliness is important. I know things like traffic, working late unexpectedly, travel delays, etc. happen from time to time. Communication is imperative. I create a schedule each week based off of who's coming and going. If you're going to be more than 15 minutes outside of your agreed to time (either early or late) for drop off or pick up, please let me know ASAP as that may interfere with other clients scheduled times. I truly try to be as accommodating as possible. However, this is a full-time job and I can't safely have multiple pets coming and going at the same time. Going forward, there will be a $20* late fee charged - not because I want extra money, but because I want things to run smoothly. I always give the example, you wouldn't show up to a hair appointment an hour late and expect to go right to the chair. My time is valuable and so is yours 😊 Morning drop off and pick up times are between 7:30-9:30 AM. Afternoon drop offs and pick ups are between 3-5:30 PM. Other times will be on a case by case basis. This gives the pups that are here already more time doing what they love - PLAYING! Lastly, my "office" hours for requests for care are 8-5. Feel free to send requests whenever you think about it, just know I may not respond until the following day if it's late. * when other arrangements haven't been made. Example - Hey, I'm running late! Can I pick up at 4:30 instead of 4?

Safety, trust & environment
While your pets are here, they're family! They will be introduced slowly to my pack. All playtime is supervised. I have over ½ an acre fenced-in yard with lots of room for them to run and play!
Home
Information Jen C. would like to know about your pet
Just like people, each dog is unique. All boarding clients must agree to Meet & Greet ahead their stay. This ensures I am a good fit for your pup(s) and vice versa. Also, please let me know if there are any special requests, likes, or dislikes - so I can make sure they are happy, healthy, and safe in your absence!
A typical day
Weather permitting, we're outside quite a bit. Mostly romping around with the rest of the pack and sniffing all the things! Fetch is a household favorite! We also enjoy walks around the neighborhood when the weather is nice. On hot, summer days we bust out the doggie splash pad! If the weather isn't great, I have plenty of enrichment toys and games inside to keep them entertained - including a ball pit!!

Pet care experience
I've had dogs most of my life (minus my time in the Air Force). Some of the breeds that I've had are Beagle, Samoyed, Boxer, Lab, German Shepard, and a Pit-mix - just to name a few! In December 2022, I began fostering dogs with Grass Roots Rescue. It has been such a rewarding experience for me! Many of them come into the rescue from terrible circumstances. With lots of love, time, patience, and training, I've watched them all flourish!
Reviews

We love Jen!! I can always count on her to take care of my Minnie girl like she’s her own. We’ve gone back many times and she is always so caring and awesome with my girl! Thank you so much Jen!
I wish I had the words to Express how grateful I am that I found Jennifer on the Rover app. I needed to board my dog for 10 days and was definitely anxious about who she could spend her 10 days with.Jen took wonderful care of Rowan( my dog) I think she had the time of her life playing with her new puppy friends. Jen was easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures and videos. Thanks again Jen I would highly recommend you to anybody who needed doggy care.

Jen was perfect for our fur baby, I felt very comfortable with her upon initial contact. I know Midnite was comfortable and in good hands by how much fun he was having with the other fur babies (pictures and videos) sent by Jen. I would truly use Jen over and always as needed. She loves the pooches and what she does. Thank you!
I was very comfortable being away and knowing that my puppy was happy and being taken care of!! Thank You Jen!!
