Love all dogs! Any size! Any breed!

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds my entire life. I love their enthusiasm, unique energy, and adorable personalities. I have been dog sitting in my home for over 10 years. I work closely with you to ensure I know the pet's routine, likes and dislikes, and make each experience personalized to your special pet I am comfortable with all size dogs having sat for or boarded dogs ranging in size from tea cup to toy to hound to mastiff. Cats are a joy for me too and I am happy to discuss any cat care needs you may have. I love all cats and honor their independent style. Pet Sitting and Dog Walking: When I come to your home to walk your dog or pet sit for your dog or cat, my goal is to give you peace of mind that your pet will be loved and cared for and your home will be respected. I am happy to bring in packages/boxes/mail if you are traveling. Not only will I ensure your pet has water/food/playtime before I leave, but I will also conduct a daily head-to-tail health check if your pet is on it's own for an extended period and if there are any concerns I will report them to you immediately. I will also send you daily updates on your pet's status along with pictures. If you prefer to do a quick video chat with your pet, this can easily be arranged. For Boarding and Day Care: I provide supervised 'crate optional' boarding and free range 'crate free' daycare for both puppies and adult dogs. This is a thoughtfully designed program to help your dog maintain or improve his happiness, health, and social skills. I will cook organic, fresh meals if this is part of their regular diet. I am happy to share my recipes or use yours. I live in a home surrounded by woods and a nature preserve so there is plenty of space for us to walk, run, and play outdoors. On days when being outside isn't an option, I have a full finished basement with lots of sunlight dedicated for the pups. The home has accommodations for senior pets or pets with difficulty using stairs. I am also happy to pick-up or drop-off your pet at your home and will work around your travel schedule. I am a certified Canine and Feline Pet Care Provider which includes the study of anatomy/physiology, behavior, safety and handling techniques, environment, nutrition, and emergencies. I am also certified in Pet First Aid and Pet CPR. My clients reside throughout Fairfield County, including: Redding, CT Ridgefield, CT Weston, CT Norwalk, CT Fairfield, CT Westport, CT Danbury, CT Trumbull, CT Stamford, CT Please reach out to me if you have any questions or if you would like more information.

Jen took care of our 7-month-old puppy Buddy while we were away for 4 days. Since it was our first time boarding our puppy we were a little uneasy about leaving him with anyone. Jen visited our house to meet Buddy and some days later we took him to stay at her house for 2 hours. It gave us a lot of confidence that she was willing to do this before leaving our dog at her house for a longer time. Jen was flexible, quick to respond, and treated our dog with the greatest care walking him, feeding him, playing with him and giving him lots of love. We will definitely have Jen taking care of Buddy going forward. We totally recommend her, Thank you again Jen!

Jennifer did an excellent job taking care of Munchkin, and was very accommodating to our last minute scheduling. Munchkin loved spending the day with her, and we particularly appreciated the updates (and picture!). Would highly recommend, and we would absolutely rebook again!
