Make us your dog's second home!
Pet care experience
(*Please note drop off and pick up hours below. Times can be requested in 30 minute windows*) I am an avid dog lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes. I have dog care and handling experience through past dog grooming and dedication to dog training. I am skilled in appropriate interactions between dogs and dog behavior, love to socialize dogs, and care deeply about ensuring a loving, caring and safe environment for pets. Not all experiences are "one size fits all" and I am more than willing to work with you and your dog to make accommodations that focus on your dog having the best stay possible. Your dog will be treated, loved, and cared for as if they are part of my own pack. I want to provide an experience for your dog that is so much more than a traditional kennel or boarding situation. My goal is for your dog to spend as much time OUT of a kennel as safely possible doing as many fun things as we can think of! You can rest assured I will provide a deluxe pet boarding experience making them feel like they never even left their home or like they are on the best vacation ever.
Reviews
This was our first time leaving our pup with someone here in Dayton and we were unsure of doing it at all. Jenna melted our fears away. She was very communicative about what her expectations were and replied to questions we had about other dogs in her care while ours was there. She was also kind each time we asked how our pup was during her stay, which I felt we did a lot for a three night stay. She never made us feel as though we were a bother. All in all we think our pup had a good time playing with the other dogs and relaxing in her home. It was a big relief to know she was having a good time. Thanks Jenna.
Thanks again Jenna! This truly is Marlie’s Home away from home. We are so grateful that Jenna and her husband take such great care our girl when we are gone. They are the BEST!
Jenna always goes above and beyond and treats our pets like her own. They are always excited when we arrive for drop off and happy when we pick them up. It’s like spending a few days at camp!
Jenna is amazing - so thankful that we found her to take care of our Buster!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a six foot privacy fenced back yard, and a fully fences front and side yard with a lower picket fence. Access to the front and side yard through a secure gait from the back privacy fenced yard, which can be closed off. I utilize kennels for safety of all dogs (some examples include: during feeding time, and time to rest after eating for overly playful pups to decrease the risk for bloat. When/if dogs need a break from each other. Or sleeping arrangements if that is what they are used to or have difficulty with sleeping arrangements outside a kennel). I always want dogs to spend as much time out of a kennel and they get treated the same way my personal dogs get treated throughout the day to give a true home-like stay. A dog's safety will always come first.

Information Jenna R. would like to know about your pet
In order for me to give your dog a genuine "second home" experience, I like to know how your dog does not only with other people/pets in general, but even with dogs of certain sizes or personalities. If your dog is timid around other dogs, I want to be able to give them a relaxing stay not feeling overwhelmed and would be more than willing to make accommodations specifically tailored to your pet. Pet sitting and boarding is not always a "one size fits all" situation and I fully understand that. The fee per day doubles to care of females in heat due to the extensive requirements providing safe care and environment. For the safety of all pets, I ask that pets be up to date on Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper vaccines.
A typical day
During the summer, I like to engage mine and other people's dogs in running and playing safely in a large fenced in yard, including fun playing in pools and sprinklers, chasing toys, and socializating (as appropriate for each dog's needs). I like to engage dogs mentally in fun games allowing them to think and use aspects of their breed and personality. I strive to truly interact with dogs and have them safely interact with each other keeping socialization appropriate for each individual dog. I provide food/water bowls (including slow feeder bowls), and crates up to 48L. I am also well equipped with beds, mats, a variety of toys, treats, foraging mats/activities, dog pools, puzzle toys, treat/food dispensing toys, and even a ball pit!
