Information Jen L. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what your pet enjoys, if it be tug a war or chasing around or just snuggling. And what they don't like. :)

A typical day

I love pets and to snuggle and let them know they are loved. This may include many activities or none at all, at your pet's request.

Jen was amazing. Took very good care of our 17 year old dog. Even gave us suggestions on things to do for him in his old age.

Jen was great with Luna. Luna can be shy at times and it looks like she warmed up to Jen right away. I appreciate Jen's communication and our home was out of the way for her so she really did us a favor looking after Luna while we were gone. Thanks Jen!

Jen was an incredible caregiver for my senior pup, Cody. She was always so welcoming, supportive and Cody loved spending time with Jen and her pack. She was always very flexible with scheduling and offered very fair pricing for her services. I have missed her greatly since she moved to SD and remember the many happy times that Cody had with her. She would be a wonderful caregiver for your beloved pets! <3
