Pet care experience

I work from home with my 11yo dog!

I’m a dog mom in Poughkeepsie. I am a social worker who works from home with my 11year old chiweenie dog Barney! My schedule is pretty flexible and can work around your needs. Feel free to ask me more questions. Looking forward to meeting you and your dogs!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always allow the dog or cat to approach me at their own pace with a calm, attentive, and warm demeanor. I also follow any instructions provided by you, including leash preferences, commands, and behavior cues. During walks, I stay aware of the surroundings, keeping a safe distance from other dogs or potential hazards. Offer praise, treats (if permitted), and reassurance to build a positive connection.

Jen is an enthusiastic, committed pet carer who loves pets and wants a connection with animals since she no longer has pets of her own. It was lovely to meet her, and she was not daunted by my collection of 4 dogs, 3 cats, and a parrot. I certainly hope to ask her to sit for them in the future!

Very communicative, and provided lots of care, and love for my pet. Also sent many photos. Will definitely utilize her in the future for any of our dog stay needs.

I've known Jen for years and always trust her with sitting and caring for my dog. My pooch can be a handful sometimes and has general anxiety, but Jen has a calming effect and is absolutely great with him. Jen is a dog mom herself and is the most empathetic, responsible and patient person I've known with pets. I've referred Jen to two of my friends for dog sitting/walking and they both are very satisfied with the experience. 10/10 would recommended!
