Highlights
Pet care experience
Canines are a girls best friend!
I've been a dog owner my entire life. I'm trained and capable of caring for senior dogs as well as puppies and everything in between. I'll be comfortable with whatever care instructions you provide for your furry friend and will make sure they're 100% happy while in my care. Disclosure: due to restrictions that my management company has in place I’m unable to watch certain breeds at my home (Pit bulls, German shepherds, Rottweilers, wolf breeds). I'm apartment living at the moment, but the dogs are free to roam around indoors and make themselves at home. Dogs are allowed on sofa, in addition to 2 dog beds for them to lounge on (washed before and after each dog visit). I do have a dog crate for large dogs (unused) if that's your preference for bedtime or unsupervised time periods. I prefer that your dog is bathed before coming over, and up-to-date on their flea/tick prevention. This helps me keep a clean home and a safe environment for the next dog that visits. Please see the details section for additional information.

Amazing, as always! Our dog, Scout, LOVES Jen so much, and she always keeps us updated with pics and messages. Thank you, Jen!
Jen took great care of my dog and was able to help out with short notice! She shared lots of pictures and updates and he had a great stay!
Jen is amazing as usual!!! No complaints, she care for my bud like he’s her own!! Very grateful!!
We had such a great experience with Jen as our dog sitter! She kept us updated every single day with photos. She also took Reggie on walks and even treated him to pup cups, which we know he absolutely loved. Most importantly, she gave us total peace of mind while we were on vacation knowing he was so well cared for. We would absolutely trust Jen again and highly recommend her!
Jen is the best! Seaun loves to stay with her and she keeps him active with lots of walks and excursions. She provided daily updates and pics while we were away which were much appreciated.
Jen is absolutely amazing! Our dog, Scout, loved her time with Jen. We really appreciate all the photos and videos that Jen sent to us while we were away, and she took Scout on such fun outings, too. We're so grateful to Jen for taking the most amazing care of our sweet dog!

Schedule
I'm self employed and will arrange my schedule surrounding your dogs needs. The only time I wouldn't be available is if I have meetings (close to home) which are typically 30-45 minutes long.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I'm on a fitness kick at the moment and enjoy long walks/runs (3-4 miles per day). Your dog will definitely get the exercise they need while in my care. My apartment community is dog friendly with plenty of walking trails, and Grant Park is an 8 minute drive. So we have options! On rainy days, indoor activities may include doggy paint & snack (see pics in profile), lots of cuddles, and playtime with their favorite toys. During the summer I spend my weekends in Paddock Lake. Dogs are welcome, and I might teach them to swim or kayak.
A typical day
Trail hiking at Grant park or Whitnall Park, dog park shenanigans, pet store visits, weekends at the lake house, rainy day indoor activities, and lots of cuddles.
