Dogs are the best kind of people :)

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Jen, I've been an animal lover my entire life and am especially fond of dogs. I grew up with a Rat Terrier mix who was my best friend for 16 1/2 years. After that I helped care for my parent's rescue dog, pet sit friend's dogs and occasionally fostered with the WI Humane Society and Wisconsin Boston Terrier Rescue. I've been through training classes with both of my parent's dogs, so I'm very familiar with positive reinforcement training techniques and I've attended a dog behavior class at the humane society. In 2020 I adopted my own pup from the Wisconsin Boston Terrier Rescue. She was my first foster fail! Since then I’ve had to stop pet sitting dogs at my house because she’s iffy with other dogs. I still am open for drop in visits and dog walks though! I have a part time job as a Captioning Assistant for the hearing impaired, am a working Jazz musician and am attending college for Environmental Health and Science. I look forward to meeting you and your dog!

Jen was great w/ Vivian. She was on time & asked questions when she wasn’t sure about things. I came home to a tired little cattle dog who was like “Oh, were you gone?”

Jen was very patient with our little guy, and made extra effort to meet him. He is very shy and is still nervous around people, but Jen did a great job. It was an easy choice to decide to book again.

Jen is extremely reliable and our dog Gatsby loves her regular walks. We can always depend on Jen as our regular walker and love continuing to use her services while we are at work. Thanks Jen!

Jen is great with our dog. He can be a bit energetic and is always happy to see her to go out for his mid day walk!

Safety, trust & environment

I grew up with an escape artist dog, so I’m well aware that some dogs try to run past open doors or wiggle out of harnesses. Your pet’s safety is very important to me and I make sure to double check the harness/leash before leaving the house.

Information Jen S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any behavioral issues or aggression. Please leave me instructions on how much food to give and how often, along with notes on any medication that may need to be administered.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on long walks. I have a fun time getting to explore new neighborhoods and meet new dogs. If doing a drop in visit, I’m a good rope toy tug of war partner :)
