Pet care experience
I love dogs of all breeds! I have worked in the pet boarding field with all types. At my home, your dog will receive plenty of attention as I only work outside my home infrequently. There is half an acre white vinyl fenced backyard play area so there are no issues trying to get them some play time. :) Lots of trees on the property for shade for a nap too. While you are vacationing I will be sending you pictures of how your dog is doing and what they are doing. (I found this helpful for my soul when I was using this site for dog-watcher). I want you to be comfortable and able to see all is going very well. I have a 4 yo pit bull. He’s fixed and loving. He’s only been with me and has never suffered abuse or anything negative that would cause a bad attitude or aggression :) He likes to bark when someone knocks on the door and as soon as you come in you’ll never hear him bark again. Plus, he loves all dogs and generally greets small ones by crawling on his belly to them. If you feel you have any hesitation, please schedule a Meet-N-Greet with us. I promise you will fall in love with Bear. As far as what is expected - I have many people ask - when you bring your dog to me please make sure they have a collar. I can take it off at night if you like. If they will eat while with me, please, bring the food they usually eat so we don't upset their stomach. If they are staying over, if they have a favorite blanket or bed at home, please send it so they have a familiar and comforting smell while you are away. Cuddling with me is great but sometimes they are more comforted with their usual smells too :) **If you have a destructive dog, please bring a crate. If your dog is not house trained, please disclose this in your reservation request. (It's not something that excludes him/her but is something I will need to know.) I want to make your dogs visit as comfortable as possible for him/her. I provide water, plenty of companionship and attention while they are with me. We go outside every 2-3 hours, sometimes more often. I honor all dog-parents wishes. Please pick up your dog by Noon unless you have contacted me about other arrangements. Thank you and have a fabulous day!
Reviews
Jen was great in every way. We and Bella were so lucky to have found her. We will always recommend her and use her whenever we need someone to watch our little girl
Jen did a fantastic job caring for our dog while we were on vacation. He had a great time hanging out with her and her dogs. She is great with communication and sends lots of pictures.
Jen was fantastic! She let me do a meet and greet with Bear before my dog Max stayed with her so we knew they would get along. She was also extremely flexible with drop off and pickup times which helped me a lot with traveling. I would definitely book her again!
So so friendly and was so good with Ellie!! So thankful for everything you did & for going out of your way for us! I definitely recommend! Felt very comfortable with her watching my baby and she was so good about giving updates and sending pictures and videos :)

I see your pet as my pet while they are here. Treated with love and care. They are allowed to sit where I do and sleep where I do. (Eg couch, bed, etc)

Information Jen R. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog playful or, more like mine, and just wants to nap and watch what's going on. **If you have a destructive dog, please bring a crate.

A typical day
Plenty of room to run in the yard. Many shade trees. Of course, I'll use my discretion if they seem too warm or too cold to be outside and will go inside if this occurs.
