Stay at Home Wifey AKA: Dogs BFF

Pet care experience

From caring for 10 senior dogs at a rescue, to bathing dogs that got sprayed by skunks, to training and taking dogs on their own outings to parks and nature hikes, you name it I’ve done it! Even flying with dogs! ✈️ I have experience with all breeds, ages, and like to keep pet parents informed with notes & pics. Growing up in farm country taught me to love and care for all animals, but dogs and cats are by far my favorite. I also have experience in administering medications to our furry friends. I left my career of being a nanny in CA to move to this area- to marry my awesome husband. Currently I’m working on a book for future nannies and thus can choose when I write. So the dogs get my full attention and are always number 1 when I’m with them. We live in an 3 story townhouse with a small unfenced yard in front of our home, to a large grassy area on the side of our home, to a giant green grass patch directly behind us just out our back door. The neighborhood is VERY dog-friendly with lots of sidewalks and comes complete with a dog park in walking distance. Our home is dog-friendly meaning dogs are allowed on all furniture and we even have doggie steps for little pooches to get up on our bed if they wish. We also have a 2mile + walking path near us. So we have plenty of activity options. We even have Pluto cartoons for your pet to watch!

Morley feels at home when we walk in Jen’s door. I get lots of pics with his adventures during his stay. 😊

I couldn’t be happier with the care our dog Millie received while I was away at work. Jen went above and beyond to make sure our pup was safe, happy, and loved. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell right away that our dog was in great hands. It’s such a relief to find someone so reliable and genuinely caring. Millie was relaxed and content when I returned—clearly well cared for. I will absolutely be booking with Jen again!

Jen is fantastic! I was very anxious to leave my two pups, but she made sure to provide frequency updates and pictures. She loved on them and I could tell how comfortable they were with her!

I’m happy to follow what you feel is best for your pet. If you want your dog to nap and enjoy cuddles- then that’s what we do. If you’d like your dog to get in a 3 mile walk every day- then we make it happen. Really you know your pet best, so I’m happy to follow your lead and make sure your pet is as happy as can be.

A typical day

I love to go for walks, so if you like your pooch to be outdoors in the fresh air- I can easily accommodate them! Our cars are dog friendly so if they like a favorite dog park or trail- we can accommodate them for their enjoyment.

Pets get 100 percent of my attention when they stay with us. Their comfort and safety is my priority as I do pet care full-time. I also write various articles about childcare/nannying so this can be done whenever and not take away from my attention to your furry friend.
