Pet care experience

I'm a mostly stay at home mom (I work 1 day/wk at the civic center) with 2 fur babies of my own (a goldendoodle and my rescue jack russel terrier) I also have one human baby (my 13 year old princess!) Who loves to help me out in caring for all our friends. All money made goes directly into an account that is being saved up for her competition cheer fees. So we're looking to add some temporary animals into our lives. Ive been a dog owner for about 25 years, and have watched neighbors and friends pets for even longer than that! When you go away, we will treat your animals like our own with plenty of love, cuddles, treats, and spoiling!! We live on a quiet street with a large fenced yard and love to run around with our guests and take lots of walks. We love pups of all sizes and Look forward to working with all breeds. Need something last minute? I'm your girl! I promise your pets will be well taken care of with us. Thank you for trusting us in the care of your sweet babies ❤️

Jen is the absolute best. She took such good care of our house and 2 dogs while we were on vacation. She was very responsive and sent updates/pics every day. She went above and beyond when our invisible fence went out halfway through our trip, and took our dogs out on leashes every time in the cold. She also stayed late when our flight got delayed coming home. I could go on and on with other details, but needless to say we'll be using her again.

Jen and family were so great with our two dogs! They responded very quickly to any messages, sent pictures and videos throughout the stay and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dogs with them.
