Pet care experience

I have been in the training and handling of domestic and exotic animals for over 2 decades. I am an enthusiastic and energetic worker who is fun yet safe, consistent and responsible, honest and affordable! Because I am trained to work with wildlife, I am able handle a variety of sizes, temperaments and breeds of domestic and exotics including farm animals, reptiles, birds, cats, dogs and any other pet you may have! I also have vet tech, medication administration and rehabilitation experience with a variety of species. An avid hiker and years of experience under my belt, I am ready to serve you and your pet's needs! I am available on short term notice, weekdays, weekends, short or extended stays as well as holidays. Please feel free to email, text or call me for more information! **Please note: ~Nightly charge applies 24 hours from time of drop-off. ~Your pet must be spayed/neutered at time of drop off.

Jen was absolutely amazing! From our initial meet and greet to the end of Lexi's stay. I was updated every day throughout the day with tons of pictures. Lexi is definitely not the easiest to care for but I knew she was in great hands! I think we've found our permanent dog boarder! Thanks Jen!

My Scottie had so much fun running to his heart's content outside in the vast yard. He was very well cared for while he boarded with Jen. Thanks!

This was our second stay with Jen, and it was just as great as the first. The beagles love it here!

Jen is a wonderful person and absolute dog lover! She has a terrific home and yard for the animals to run free. I highly recommend Jen as a animal care giver. She is super organized and great with communication. I can't say enough good things about her and her dog sitting service.
