Pet care experience
Hi, My name is Jennifer. My husband Michael and I have been involved in rescuing dogs and bottle fed kittens for a few years now. Animals have been my passion since I was young- raising money for rescue at 13 and also adopting my first dog. It’s important that we give back in some way and rescuing dogs (and bottle fed kittens!) has been a great way to do so. We also love to dog sit! Our pup, Susie, is a dachshund and gets along with every pup that’s entered our home- we attribute this to fostering and training! As a sitter, I think it’s important we keep as many variables the same from your house to ours. It’s great if the pup has their own bed, blanket, cage, toys; anything that makes them feel more at home! We’ve found this helps the dog adjust easily. I also will send you pictures to let you know your dog is doing well and loving life at our house! I know it can be stressful to trust your pup in someone else’s hands and I hope to be able to help ease your nerves. Our household: It is calm in our house, since it’s only Michael and myself with one dog. Susie is great at welcoming dogs (although she gets excited by the opportunity to have a sleepover!) and adjusting her energy to their level. We have a partially fenced in yard, so there is space for dogs to get some air! We also have a dog-approved sofa as well as a toy box full of a variety of plush toys, hard bones, and a toy that makes every noise you can possibly think of! We also have a “doggie corner” where there are two mini couches. We hope it’s clear to you that we love our clients’ dogs just as much as our own! I am also CPR certified, so your pet is in good hands. If you're ever nervous about a pet because they're older or have a medical condition, it's best to make a plan with me in case anything happens so I know how to best handle the situation. In my experience, the more you plan upfront, the less you'll have to stress later! We hope to hear from you soon. We look very forward to meeting you and your pup! Jennifer & Michael

We feel so secure and at peace when Jen is watching over Ellie. We know when she is with her the only concern we have is that she remembers us and still loves us because she is being loved so much at Jen's.
Jen is great and I’m totally confident in her ability to take care of my dog Allie. Allie is a rescue and still gets scared in new situations. Jen understood exactly how to help her adjust. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Jen again and, in fact, I will be having Jen watch Allie for 2 weeks in August. Thanks Jen!
Wish I could give more than 5 stars, Jen was/is fantastic, I have an older dog, almost 16, Marble is her name, she does well, but most definitely prefers to be home, doesnt care to travel, no way are we going to stick her in a kennel, so we generally try to work it out over the last couple of years that one family member is usually home but sometimes that is not always feasible or logistically possible. Then we met Jen through Rover, an absolute god send. She is great with our old girl, right down to diaper duties (getting old is not for the weak). Jen goes above and beyond, keeps us in the loop, updates with pictures on occasion. Great commuications, and Marble seems to be really at ease with her. All great stuff. It is really nice to get away for a day or two, or 6 and not have to worry about the neighbor remembering to come over, or worry that our old girl is roaming the house at night cause no one is there, which is very common in old dogs. We have a two story house, and one of my biggest fears is of her taking a late night tumble down the stairs. Jen is highly recomended!! We are very fortunate to have met her.
Jen and Michael were amazing accommodating hosts and would highly recommend!!!

Information Jen S. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know the dog's schedule (for food and going out), if they play well with other dogs (I have a dog!) or if they need to be separated (easily done!), and if there are any quirks your dog may have (we all have those!). Any medication is of course something I need to be informed of. I want to make sure this is the best home for your pup and we can meet their needs!
