About Jen G.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always ensure that your dog’s collar/harness and leash are secure so they won’t slip out on a walk. I bring poop bags on every walk, and a water thermos and bowl on longer walks. Food, potty breaks, and medicine administration can all be given at drop-ins. I have experience giving oral medications, eye drops, injections, and sub-q IV drips to my own dogs, and can do so for yours as well with as much care and love as if they’re my own.
Information Jen G. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog on any medication? Do they have any medical conditions (diabetes, allergies, etc.)? Do they enjoy the company of other animals and people, or are they more of the loner type? Are there any sounds, gestures, motions, etc. that should be avoided?
A typical day
If there’s a certain local route or trail you and your dog enjoy, I’ll walk them there. Around the block or around the neighborhood - whichever you (and they) prefer!

Pet care experience
I’ve been a Dog Mom for 16 years. I’ve also been entrusted to dog-sit multiple neighbors’ dogs, including a wolf/Husky hybrid named Loki; 2 “pitbull” mixes, Dicey and Scooby; and a GSD/Lab mix named Mya who has regular sleepovers at my house. I have experience giving dogs oral, drop, injectable, and subcutaneous IV medications. I take care to pay attention to the temperature outside and a dog’s needs and adjust walks accordingly (no walking on hot asphalt, make sure dogs with no undercoat are suitably dressed in cold weather, etc.). I’m a firm believer in letting dogs experience the world around them through smell, and allow them to sniff to their nose’s content on walks. If your dog is prone to pulling, please have a suitable harness available for use. (I highly recommend PetSafe EasyWalk harnesses.) NO prong, choke, or shock collars! I look forward to meeting you and your pup!!
Reviews
Jen is great! All our pets feel comfortable with her. Our family loves her! She is a very caring person and goes out of her way to make your pet feel loved when you are away. Our dog Annabelle looks forward to seeing Jen when we are away. Even our Zoey that has cat attitude will come out to see Jen.
This is our first time to ever hire a non family pet sitter. I am so glad we found Jen! Jen has a great personality and is definitely an animal lover. She even allows puppy kisses! Our dog has knee issues and Jen is so patient with her. Jen arrives on time, communicates to you about the visit and sends pictures! I feel at ease having Jen visit our dog and cats.
Jen is absolutely amazing! We could not have found a better person to care for our two dogs. She was so sweet and took the time to get to know our boys and took extra time and care with our senior dog. She sent great updates and photos throughout the time she spent with our dogs which put us at ease. She cares so deeply for pets and it shows! We would absolutely love to have her take care of them again in the future and would recommend her to anyone. Thanks so much, Jen!
Jen is great with our dogs. I highly recommend her.
