Lifelong animal lover 🐕💕
Pet care experience
I've had dogs and cats (and countless other pets) my whole life. I've been dog sitting for neighbors and friends since I was 10, and taking care of my own pets since I was 5. I worked for a PetSmart pet hotel running doggy day camp everyday, and caring for all of the many cats and dogs boarding. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about safety and first aid when it comes to pets. I've also volunteered at several animal shelters, caring for the animals, but also making sure they get some love. I'm comfortable around all different breeds and sizes of dogs. I am also comfortable with administering medications and caring for senior pets and puppies/kittens. If you are interested in boarding with me: Your dog cannot be dog aggressive. My dog Oscar is a registered therapy dog. He is excellent with all kinds of dogs of all sizes and energy levels. If your dog isn’t a huge fan of new friends that’s fine, he’ll get the hint and let them be. As long as they aren’t aggressive that’s no problem. He’s playful at times, but also a big fan of napping all day if that’s more what your dog has in mind. I have a fenced in yard. There are also no stairs needed to access the yard, which is great for older dogs or those that just aren’t a fan of stairs.
Reviews
Jennie was amazing and was a pleasure to work with. She immediately took to Anabelle, and was extremely prompt with communication and super friendly. We will definitely reach out to her in the future when we visit the Athens area.
Thor had an AMAZING time, he is all worn out and ready for an early bed tonight! We are so excited to have you as our weekly sitter!
There was something appealing about Jennie the moment I read her profile and once we met her, we felt completely comfortable trusting her with our pooch. You will feel the same, I promise.

My home has a fenced in yard and my friendly dog Oscar who is great with new dogs. He is especially patient with puppies and older dogs. On walks elsewhere I carry a safety kit with items to safely break up dog fights. I’ve never had to use it thankfully! But working in a doggy day camp and receiving training in handling fights, I learned you can never be too careful. I make every effort to avoid any unleashed dogs on walks, but still like to be prepared for anything.

Information Jennie P. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there is anything about your dog I should know! Especially if they have any medical concerns I should look out for, or any behaviors that might be relevant (such as aggression towards other dogs). If your dog is staying with me, give me a heads up if they have any allergies. Also let me know if you’d like them to have any snacks while they’re over! I’m happy to share what I’ve got but not unless I get the okay from you first.
A typical day
Oscar has plenty of toys he loves to share, and he loves to play. I have a fenced in yard where they can run around, and plenty of toys for fetch if they’re interested. And of course I have plenty of dog beds and other comfy spots for nap times.

I am both a PhD student and a homebody, so most days I’m home working on papers, grading, all that fun stuff. I love the study breaks I get from letting my dog out and spending some play time with him, and love any excuse to get out and walk or love on a dog!
