Because they are Special

Pet care experience

I live in Lakewood and had a sweet Beagle, Silas for 13-1/2 years. Instead of getting another dog after he passed I decided to start dog sitting and bring a bunch of different dogs into my life! While the company of dogs is a major perk, I'm also drawn to the parent side. I understand how difficult it is to find someone that you trust to care for your best friend. I had a very difficult time leaving my bub so it brings me joy when I can form trusting relationships with both the dog and the parent to provide a comfortable and familiar place to stay while allowing the parent(s) to travel worry-free. My home and yard are both secure and I am extremely experienced at not letting the dog out! Rover is a great alternative for older dogs or dogs that prefer a quieter or more "homey" environment. I do work full-time out of the house with half day summer Fridays. This can be too long for some dogs. Works great when the dog is used to a similar schedule at home.

Jen was absolutely amazing! She watched our dogs while we were out of town and they seemed sad to leave her. Her communication was great, asked a lot of questions, and loved our two girls!! Cozy home and gated backyard which was wonderful. We will for sure book with Jen again! Thank you for everything!

This is the 3rd time I have used Jen. She is really wonderful and I can tell she really cares about my dog, Magda. Magda enjoys going there as well. When I went to drop off her this time, Magda ran to the door very excited to greet Jen. Highly recommend Jen!

Information Jen M. would like to know about your pet

I would like a little overview of your dog's personality, walking schedule, triggers, quirky habits, likes and dislikes, any special needs and whether they are comfortable being left alone during the "workday" since I work full time during the week. Most of this can be discussed during our first meet and greet.

A typical day

I want to provide a fun, yet safe environment for your dog. I love walks and walk daily so it's a + if your pup enjoys them too, car rides, trips to DQ for doggy cones, playtime in the fenced yard, sunbathing on the deck, visits to the Metro Park - however I do not take dogs to the Dog Park and lets not forget the snuggles and the cuddles! I'm experienced with senior care if your dog needs a little more tender loving care and attention.
