Pet care experience
🐾 Small Dogs, Big Love!
Hi! I’m Jenna, and I’d love to care for your little pup while you’re away. I have over 30 years of experience with small dogs. As the proud dog mom of a sweet Havanese named Bailey, I know our dogs aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. 🩵 I also know how much trust it takes to leave them in someone else’s care, which is why I treat every dog who stays with me with the same kindness, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I intentionally care for small dogs because I believe they thrive in a calm, home environment. Rather than a busy, high-volume setting, my goal is to provide personalized attention so each pup feels safe, comfortable, and truly at home. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible: from feeding schedules and walks to favorite toys and bedtime habits. My goal is to make their stay feel familiar and stress-free. You’ll receive regular photo and message updates because I know how comforting it is to see your best friend happy and well cared for. I can’t wait to meet you and your little one and provide a safe, loving home away from home.

Ratings and reviews
Jenna is an exceptional dog sitter!! Our dog attended ‘Camp Jenna’ for four nights. She was so well loved and cared for…far beyond any expectations! The daily pawgress reports and sweet pictures were so fun to receive. Her dog is super sweet too and the pups got along wonderfully. I can’t say enough good about Jenna—she will be our go-to dog sitter! Thank you Jenna! 🤗

Jenna went above and beyond for our 9 month old puppy! From the beginning of the process to picking our buddy up, Jenna was detail-oriented, caring, and communicative. She made sure she completely understood his routine so he would feel as comfortable as possible while we were away, and she even worked on some training with him while he was there. We loved getting pictures and videos of him throughout his stay, and it was so sweet seeing how close he and Bailey became! We truly felt like we left Dunk in the best hands and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would absolutely recommend Jenna to anyone and will definitely be reaching out to her again!

Jenna has spent time with our dog on several occasions, and one thing that always stands out is how excited our dog is to see her. She remembers the little details, sticks to routines, and is happy to spend time playing or just hanging out if that’s what your dog prefers. She’s also really easy to communicate with. I never have to wonder how things are going because she checks in and genuinely cares that both you and your dog feel comfortable. If you’re looking for someone who will give your dog lots of attention instead of just stopping by to feed them, I’d absolutely recommend Jenna.
I’ve trusted Jenna to watch my dog, Wrigley, and I never had to worry when he was with her. She treated him like he was her own and genuinely enjoyed having him around, which gave me so much peace of mind. As her sister, I’ve seen how much she truly loves dogs, especially small dogs. Whether it’s a playful puppy or an older dog that needs a little extra patience, I know they’ll be well cared for. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.
My dog, Gracie, is usually pretty nervous around people she doesn’t know, so I don’t hand out compliments like this lightly. For whatever reason, she absolutely adores Jenna. The second she sees her (or Bailey), her whole demeanor changes. She gets excited, wants all the attention, and is completely comfortable around her. Jenna has helped with walks and spending time with Gracie, and she’s always been incredibly patient and understanding. She has a calm way with dogs and seems to instinctively know how to make them feel safe. Plus, Gracie would probably tell you Jenna gives the best ear scratches and belly rubs if she could. Seeing how much Gracie trusts her tells me everything I need to know. I’d have complete confidence recommending Jenna to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and genuinely great with dogs.
Hi! I might be a little biased because I'm Jenna's husband, but I've also seen firsthand how serious she takes caring for other people's dogs while they were away. She doesn't just feed/let them out, her attention to detail with their routines and personalities are what make her the best person to sit your dog. She makes them comfortable so you can feel at ease. She will provide special patience with senior dogs, ones that need a little extra reassurance. She also accepts younger puppies who have bundles of energy. Jenna is extremely intune with your dogs needs, if she notices something isn't right she will communicate you immediately. I know how much time and thought she puts into making sure every dog feels safe, loved, and at home. Seeing her outward generoisity towards pet sitting makes it easy to see why peole trust her with their pet. I know every dog that stays with her will get plenty of attention, affection, and thoughtful care!

Schedule
I currently host only one pet family at a time, so your pup gets personalized attention and a calm, home-like stay. I specialize exclusively in small dogs (under 25 lbs) because I believe they thrive in a calm, safe environment where they can feel comfortable and relaxed. I keep my bookings limited so every dog receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Every dog is unique, so I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible; from feeding schedules and walks to favorite toys, medications (if needed), and bedtime habits. My goal is to make your dog’s stay feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Because I’m home full-time, your dog will rarely be left alone and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for. 🩵
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard for supervised outdoor time and share my home with Bailey, my sweet 10-year-old Havanese. Bailey has a gentle personality and enjoys the company of other small dogs. My home is quiet with no children, which helps create a calm environment for dogs who prefer a more peaceful setting.
Pets
A typical day
Some pups want to play with toys, go for a walk, or sniff every blade of grass outside. Others are happiest with belly rubs and cuddles. Since I only care for small dogs, I keep things calm and low-stress. My goal is for every pup to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog is playful, laid-back, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and one-on-one care.

- I’d love to know your dog’s typical routine and what makes them happiest! Tell me about their personality, energy level, favorite toys or treats, feeding schedule, potty routine, any medications, allergies, fears, or anything else that helps them feel comfortable. I also like to know how they do around other small dogs and if there are any little quirks or habits I should know about. Every dog is different, and I want to make sure I care for yours the way you do! Please Note: I require a meet & greet for all of our little dog friends before their first stay. It’s a great way to make sure everyone feels comfortable and that it’s a good fit for both you and your pup! 🐾
