Pet care experience

Previous doggy daycare dog handler!

I have 3 years experience as a senior dog handler for Lucky Pawz doggy daycare/boarding in Iowa City. I provided attention and care for the dogs who board, or come for daycare. I gave the pets who stayed plenty of love and attention, fed them according to their owners’ request, and made sure their spaces were tidy for their stay. I have owned dogs for practically my whole life, so caring for them does not just begin with working for a doggy daycare. I work great with every size, breed, and personality of dog. I work full time M-F traveling around the DSM metro and am able to stop in typically once during the work day as my work schedule allows. My special skills include patience, adaptability, and love and acceptance for every dog!

Safety, trust & environment

While I do not offer boarding services in my own home, I am happy to meet your pet in their own space where they are most comfortable! I can easily leash your pet, take them for walks, provide company and play in the home, feed them according to their meal schedule, and anything else your pet may require!

Jenna was great with our dog, Enzo! She made it so we could enjoy our wedding day without having to worry about who was carrying for our sweet boy!

Jenna was great! She was on time, very caring and knowledgeable, and made me at ease while we were away. She even took out the trash and vacuumed while she stayed at our house! Definitely recommend!
