Pet care experience
I have experience caring for dogs and cats with complicated medical issues, sensitive diets and post-surgical recovery. I've spent my professional life working in human health care and you can trust me to stay calm in any situation, follow the most detailed & critical instructions and respond quickly and level-headed in any emergency. I am the primary pet care provider in the house but my wife and teenage daughter are also here and a phenomenal help. Whitney has a weakness for chihuahuas (hence our two mixes) and a talent for winning over the grumpiest of elderly little dogs and Leah is currently obsessed with corgis and has always had a big passion for cats small and large. I will always have a sweet spot for hound breeds thanks to the loyal family beagle I grew up with. None of us will ever discriminate, however, and we will welcome your animals into our home and love them like our own. When Whitney's beloved old chihuahua passed we knew we wanted two dogs so we specifically looked to rescue a "bonded pair" and that's how Cesar and Willow came into our lives in 2017 at ages 2&3. Willow is our social butterfly. She makes fast friends with dogs who love to run in big circles and is quick to play foster mom to any unattended puppies in her presence. Cesar is lazier and prefers the company of humans. Every now and then he bonds with a rover dog and it's the sweetest thing, but he will most likely sit on my feet while I watch Willow play with your dog and tolerate some mild snuggling. And as for our cat Tinkerbell-it doesn't really matter how your dog is around cats because they will never see her. She's a diva with her own bedroom with a pet gate to keep the dogs out and she will make herself scarce when there are strangers of any species in our home.
Reviews
Jen is the best. Lucky to have her
Jen always takes such good care of our dog, Puma. I'm so grateful to have found her on Rover a number of years back. I can tell our dog is comfortable in her home, gets along with her dogs, gets plenty of love and walks, and is in good spirits when she comes home. Jen really is tops.
Thanks so much, Jen, for taking such wonderful care of Finnigan and Frankie while we were gone. They can both be nervous dogs, but I could tell from the pictures you sent that they adjusted extremely well. We felt very comfortable after meeting you, and our sense that you would take good care of our furry family members was quite accurate. Your care was awesome!!
Another great stay with Jen and her family!

A typical day
Your dog will be welcomed into the pack with Cesar and Willow who get one long walk or two shorter ones every day and frequent trips to the nearby Currie Park (10 acres of fenced in, off leash fun) so make sure your dog brings their Milwaukee county dog park pass so they can go there with us! When the weather is nice we will spend more time outside than in. We also shovel a snow maze into the fenced backyard to make sure little legs have plenty of room to roam and stretch even in the winter. If your dog is with us for a holiday there's a good chance they'll join us at grandma's house with an even bigger fenced in yard and be welcomed into the even bigger pack of our extended fur family.
