Safety, trust & environment

I work remotely, which means your dog will enjoy reliable, hands-on care throughout the day. My husband and 13-year-old son are also part of our home—they both love dogs and help make our space warm and welcoming, though I remain your pet’s primary caregiver. Dogs who are fully house-trained and comfortable in a quieter setting tend to do best here. We are only able to host dogs who are gentle around other dogs who might be staying here as well. Dogs who are lower-shedding are preferred, as we manage mild allergies in the household.

Pawsome Care for Smaller Dogs 🐾

Pet care experience

After the loss of our beloved 15-year-old "dorkie" (Yorkie/Dachshund) Gracie, our home felt incomplete, so I began dog sitting in 2023 to welcome more wagging tails back into our lives. I provide a calm, loving home where your dog is treated like family. I'm attentive to each dog's unique needs and aim to create a nurturing, stable environment that feels like their home away from home. I value the lasting bonds built with both dogs and their owners. A meet and greet at our home is required for overnight bookings to ensure your dog is comfortable in our space and gets along well with others. I prefer to make a “small-dog friendly” environment with dogs up to ~25 pounds but do make exceptions when possible.

Another fantastic stay for Dexter. Jen takes such good care of him and sends updates and pictures. He looks so happy when he visits, the peace of mind for me is priceless!

Jen and her family always take such good care of Rocket. He loves snuggles and they happily oblige him. And Jen sends lots of pictures and updates. Highly recommend!

Jen was wonderful. Updated me frequently and my dog well taken care of and happy. My dog even has some special needs and I wasn't worried for a second! Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again and again.

Jen is outstanding - I cannot say enough about her! She was very attentive to my girls and kept me up-to-date with pictures and videos throughout; I knew my girls were well-cared-for. I would absolutely recommend Jen to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter with lots of experience, especially with small and senior dogs.
