Playful, fun-loving family!
Pet care experience
My husband, Alex, and I are looking to host your family pets! Currently, we do not have any pets of our own, but are looking to adopt/rescue soon. Dog-sitting is therefore acting as an interim bridge until we are prepared for full-time dog duty. We are so excited to dog-sit for you and hope you consider us! While I have never professionally watched dogs for others, I owned two special pups, Lucy and Desi. Both have since passed on, but I cared and managed for them while they were alive. Both pups were Springer Spaniels so I am well-accustomed to high-energy dogs. Every day included a walk/run/swim depending on the weather. I LOVE to play with pups and will treat your family pups like my own. I am caring, extremely responsible, well-organized, and have flexibility with my full-time job so I can make afternoon check-ins if necessary. More specifically, when your dogs stay with me, a typical day will look like the following: 6AM Walk (~30-45 minutes) - I live right off the Preston Ridge Trail and have access to several green spaces and neighborhoods that have sidewalks and are safe for walking. I would ensure that the dog had plenty of time to use the bathroom and burn some energy. If your dog wants to run, I would be able to run them (on the leash). I would follow any feeding instructions you provide for AM feeding. I typically leave for work between 7:30 AM and 8:00 AM. If necessary, I can make time for an early afternoon bathroom break. I work 15 minutes away so afternoon breaks are feasible for me (not every day, but at least twice a week). I typically get home around 5:30PM. Another 20-30 minute walk would ensue. I also have a great, fenced-in but open backyard so I can play with the dog off the leash. I would play catch or whatever type of fun activities your dog prefers off the leash. If your dog likes to swim, I would be open to swimming them as well. After the bathroom break, I would bring the dog back inside the house for free reign until my bedtime. Right before bedtime, I would ensure another bathroom break. Overall - I would ensure there are 3 extended outside times (>30 minutes) outside for the dog per day. If your dog is comfortable in dog parks, I would absolutely be willing to take your dog to a dog park once or twice per stay during the week or at least once a weekend. I am also open to taking your dog to the dog parks you frequent with them. I want the dogs to feel as comfortable as possible, so I am willing to accommodate. I have an SUV and can accommodate transporting the dog to and from dog parks as well. I am flexible and open to creating a customized plan that satisfies your needs/concerns while you are away. Please consider me as your next dog-sitter and feel free to communicate areas where you want specific attention! I am happy to accommodate. Thank you!
Reviews
Jenn was great! She made my dog feel at home. My travel plans kept changing and Jenn was able to accommodate. My dog was going on and on about the good time she had with them.
Would highly recommend boarding with Jenn. She truly cared about Sophie and ensured our baby had a great "vacation" while we were gone for 12 days.
Jenn and Alex were absolute lifesavers. I am apprehensive about leaving our sweet girl with a dog boarder, as we have had a couple of bad experiences. Jenn and Alex sent daily updates with pics. They tended to our dog's needs and treated her like she was their very own fur baby. I highly recommend this nice couple of you are looking for someone to care for your family pet and plan on using their services again if they are available on our next trip.
Jenn was wonderful with our seeet puppy. He was loved, spoiled and completely taken care of. We will be bringing Earl back in January. I would highly recommend her.
