Pet care experience
Bring me all of your smol dogs ❤️
Small dogs are my favorite! When you’re on vacation, your dog is too. Your dog will love coming to Camp Dumptruck because it’s like Disneyland for dogs, and because I treat them like they’re my own. Included in my rates are daily enrichment, cuddles, a walk, a nightly chew, and lots of playtime. Daily enrichment examples: feeding in a toppl or puzzle toy, peanut butter or plain yogurt lickimats, snufflemats Walks: we regularly do a 2 mile walk but also have a stroller and cooling bandanas in case your dog needs a break. If your dog isn’t super mobile, sniffaris (20 to 30 minute slow walks where they can sniff as much as they want) will tire your dog out as much as a walk. Nightly chew: I give my dogs an evening chew so your dog will get one too. Chewing is an excellent way to decompress and your dog will be relaxed after their nightly chew session. Depending on food allergies, these can range from a toothbrush bone to a sweet potato chew. I monitor the dogs for any resource guarding and take chews away if there’s a choking risk. I currently have three small dogs and am a regular foster for local rescues. I’ve fostered small dogs from 8 weeks to 16 years old and have experience training puppies as well as working with senior dogs with major health issues. I worked at a small dog daycare that closed due to covid so I’m familiar with dog body language and play styles. Small and nervous dogs are my specialty and I love seeing them learn to relax in my care.

Ratings and reviews
Jen could not have been a better sitter for Benny! She was sweet enough to get the wet version of his food so he could have a pupsicle with her other dogs. Jen was also very communicative. Benny will for sure be returning
Jen always takes great care of my sweet girl. Not only is she great with dogs and very experienced, she's a good communicator and easy to work with
Star sitter! My pups are typically quite anxious with new folks and have come back from sitters very clearly stressed. Never the case with Jen - they were happy and clearly having the time of their lives. Jen is wonderful with communicating / daily updates & photos and very generous with flexibility for my work schedule. Thank you for being such an angel to them - we will 100% be back!
She was the best!! Brought treats for my dogs and stayed and played with them for a long time!
Loved Jen! She was extremely communicative and I will absolutely book again 😄. 10 out of 10 stars!
Jen is just the best! Her genuine care and attention to our little senior dog is so appreciated. He’s always in great hands.

I’m free to play with your dog and give them lots of attention! I have a younger dog who LOVES dogs so your dog will have a best pal while they’re here.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Each dog in my care will be outfitted in an air tag or a Fi collar for GPS tracking. We have two Furbo cameras on at all times. I have a securely fenced yard and two friendly dogs. I have a lot of experience with various breeds and ages due to fostering and know my way around fearful dogs as well as dogs who might be a flight risk. My own dog has been through all her obedience classes and is a Canine Good Citizen, and will be testing for her Advanced Canine Good Citizen soon, so I’m familiar with dog training and we constantly work on our manners at home. I’m also sensitive to food allergies and dietary needs, and I keep goats milk, pumpkin and slippery elm on hand for any gastrointestinal distress. I keep Benadryl on hand for any possible bug bites and CBD/calming treats in case they’re stressed while you’re away. Because of my foster experience, I’ve truly seen it all when it comes to learning to adjust to a new space and I’ve prepared an arsenal of things to help your pup adjust. I keep additional harnesses on hand for walks to add an extra level of security and various food toppers to entice picky dogs to eat if necessary.

A typical day
Your dog will get all the perks of professional boarding and daycare without paying additional fees for enrichment. A typical day includes at least one walk, enrichment in the form of lickimats, food puzzles, and healthy chews, one on one play time, group play with my dogs, plus lots of cuddles and training. I’m not a professional trainer but we constantly work on positive reinforcement and manners.
