Pet care experience

I just wanna love on all the dogs!!

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!

Jen was Absolutely amazing! First time using the service.. My dog had never really been away from me nor had been exposed to other dogs before. Jen assured me that he was in good hands! She was Very personable, extremely knowledgeable on dogs and behavior. She explained the process of acclimatizing my dog to the others and just made me feel super confident that Apollo was going to be just fine!! Wonderful experience for myself and my dog! He can home happy and Exhausted 😁!! Thank you Jen C! Highly recommend!!!

Jen took excellent care of my pup! This was my first time spending a night away from him, so I was definitely hesitant, but he had an absolute blast with her. I got plenty of updates and felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I will 100% be booking with her again!

Jen had my baby for almost 2 weeks while we were on vacation. Communication was wonderful, booking was easy and she even brought him home for me when we got in a jam.

Schedule

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!

Pets

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!!

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!
