I am pretty flexible with let-outs and walks at the clients home. Dogs are typically let outside 3-4 times daily, depending on the pup, my scd. and the weather. They can hang out outside as long as they like or as little as they like.

Information Jen Y. would like to know about your pet

I will not enter the home of an aggressive dog without a prior meet to evaluate. Medication administration will require an added small fee (5$), unless it's very simple. No breed preferences. Must be ok with kids and other dogs. Unneutered males are ok, but if there is marking inside there will be an extra cleaning fee of $25.00 per day. Kennels will be used if there are house soiling issues, destructive behavior, inter-dog problems, at night and whenever it is feeding time to keep all dogs safe.

A typical day

We have a fenced yard! We have tons of dog toys and even a puppy pool in the summer. Our pup Howard loves to run and play out back with everyone.

Fun, caring & knowledgeable

Pet care experience

I have over 35 yrs exp with animals. for 16 of those years I was a certified Vet tech and for 8 a certified dog trainer. My love for animals in general runs deep. I know how hard it can be to find affordable, dependable, loving care for your dog/s while away so I wanted to provide such a place in our home. Your dog will be treated like one of our own. We have 2 dogs of our own. Howard is a 9 yr old lab hound mix with loads of energy and an 15yr old pug who loves to snuggle and follow her people around. I am ok administering medications and or injections, caring for sick and older pets or pets with special needs. Medications or special needs pets are subject to an additional charge ($5-$10/day) We can discuss at booking!

Jen was kind and pleasant to interact with. She watched our boy for the weekend while we were out of town and took such good care of him. She let him run around and played fetch with him each visit out back and made sure to send lots of pictures and keep us updated on how he was doing. She also brought in some packages and helped water some of our small plants outside which was very much appreciated. We felt comfortable with her in our home and would book with her again!

Jen made this so easy. She came to meet my dog (Zelda) before I left for my trip, and I felt very comfortable leaving Zelda knowing that Jen was going to take great care of her. Jen sent picks of walking adventures and fetch. It really was helpful and easy! She took excellent care of Zelda (and me).
