Professional, Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm and have loved animals my entire life. My mom taught me how to work with animals and make "you: the best thing in the world to them through building the relationship, play and training. In addition, I have worked with several professional trainers in my many years of animal rescue. I have worked with dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, rabbits, chickens and more. :) Whether we do the house sitting in your home or your animal visits us, my husband and I offer a loving, safe place for your pet. We are a husband-wife team with years of experience through dog rescue. We live with Miko, a German Shepherd Dog mix and Gibbs, a Black Mouth Cur mix. Our fenced in backyard separated from neighbors by our 3.3 acres is a dog's paradise and our safe neighborhood and nearby parks are wonderful for dog walks. We only take one pet at a time while boarding in our home. However, we will dog sit and do drop off visits for multiple pets in the same household. In dog rescue, we have worked with the small, large, scared or confident pups and everything in between. Happy to work with you on your animals needs to make sure they have a healthy, happy, structured and safe experience with us.

Great communication throughout my pets’ stay. Very thankful for the kindness and care Jen shows my dog and cat and appreciate all of the updates and photos. I’m also grateful for their flexibility. Amazing, trustworthy sitters!

Jen took good care of my dog. My dog gets a little nervous at new places but he looked relaxed with Jen in her house. I really appreciate the pictures she kept sending to let me know how he was doing. Would definitely recommend her.

Our pup loves going to Jen and Seth’s house! we trust them with caring for her and they are very careful with her GI issues. They recently went above and beyond to bring her to be at our wedding ceremony and picked her up after the ceremony. Highly recommend these great people!

I have a fenced-in yard for dogs so they'll have room to play and sniff. We live on 3.3 acres in the country, so it's a quiet space for your pup! I require dogs boarded in my home to be crate trained. When I'm at your home, that is not a requirement. :)

Information Jen & Seth D. would like to know about your pet

We request dogs be kennel and potty trained unless they're a puppy (we get it!). Dogs will be kenneled for about 6 hours overnight (7.5 if my hubby is out of town) although Jen will sleep in the guest room with your dog as long as your dog is housebroken and not destructive and over the chewing phase. We understand the occasional potty lapse in a new place, and know puppies are often not fully trained. We will get up more often overnight to let puppies potty. We prefer to board dogs that like dogs and people. We will consider dogs who prefer human-only company or have other needs on a case-by-case basis. Your dogs will have slow, positive introductions to our dogs based on our years of rescue experience with zero pressure.

A typical day

We will find out what your dog needs, and tailor our time with your dog to fit him or her. Does your dog like to cuddle? We can do that! Would he or she prefer to chill on a comfy dog bed? We got you covered. We will take your dog out for walks, outdoor play time in our fenced-in-yard with us humans, and even do fun games in the house, such as fetch, "find the delicious treat," "find your favorite human," and will work with your dog on sit, stay, down and recall, if you want a mentally tired pup when you return. If your dog is a senior and simply needs lots of potty breaks and wants to relax, we are happy to binge on Netflix and let your pup curl up on a comfy dog bed in front of the fireplace. Our care is structured to provide your dog a positive, safe experience. We know being away from home can be stressful for you and your dog who misses you so we make sure your dog is mentally calm, has appropriate mental and physical stimulation and is given a wonderful experience while in our care.
