Pet care experience

I'd love to love your fur babies!

I recently had to let go of my 10 year old boxer pup, Roxy Balboa, and really miss having a dog companion around but I'm also not ready to get my own again. She came down with a late onset progressive and degenerative neurological disease called Degenerative Myelopathy shortly before her eighth birthday and about 6 months after that needed a doggy wheelchair to get around. Once she got going in her wheels though she was a speedy little girl and we'd go cruising around the neighborhood and the parks. The disease continued to progress though and the day came when I had to make that tough call. I love dogs so much but like I said I'm not ready to get my own yet so I thought this would be a nice alternative for now. I would love to love your fur babies! Feel free to follow my IG for lots of cute animal photos and if I watch your pet I guarantee you there will be lots of photos taken and stories/posts made and I'll tag you! Thank You!!

I’m reluctant to leave the raving review she deserves in fear she’ll be booked the next time we need her, lol. Jen was probably the best sitter we’ve ever had. She took care of and respected our home and provided tons of pictures of our dog (likely could have a career in photography). She’ll be the first one we call/message for any sitting needs in the future.

Jen was absolutely fantastic, and able to help us with our pup Daisy in a pinch!! Daisy had an absolute blast, and Jen was able to take her on some fun adventures. She was super flexible and understanding, and we will be using her in the future.

Jen was wonderful, she took great care of my little fur baby. It was obvious how much of a good time he was having based on the photos. I highly recommend Jen for dog sitting and boarding needs!

Schedule

I own my condo in Pt Loma and animals are allowed here but I'm also willing to house and pet sit at your place. Theres a fenced in dog park on Soto Street about a mile from my house thats really nice. I like to visit it sometimes when I'm watching a dog. I go into the office 3 x a week but work from home every Tuesday and Friday. The days I go into the office I'm home around 4pm. On the weekends I'm able to take your pups on little adventures and hikes around San Diego. Everything is more fun with a dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a condo so no yard but there is a dog park thats fenced in with a separate small and big dog section about a mile from my house. I dont currently have any animals of my own. I'm also willing to pet and house sit as well.

A typical day

The dog park on Soto St in Pt Loma is a mile from my house and its great. There is a small and large dog section. I like walking there and letting the dog run around and play with other dogs and then walk home. They might accompany me to the beach and walk the boardwalk. Anything that I can do with a dog I usually bring them along for.
