Pet care experience

Trustworthy pro that loves to walk!

I am a trustworthy, happy, healthy professional currently taking a break from corporate America. Happy to share my LinkedIn profile with potential customers. My husband and I fostered seven dogs before and during the pandemic, and have been dog sitting for about 20 years for friends. I did quite a bit of behavior work with the foster dogs, although I am not a trainer. I have worked with leash reactive dogs - note: if your dog is reactive, I will use a prong collar. No pets/no kids/no smoking/drugs. I am doing some part-time remote work, but generally either my husband or myself are home for most of the day. However, if a dog cannot be left alone for at least 4 hours, add $25 surcharge per day.

Our older dog can be anxious when she's outside of her routine, but Jennie's calm demeanor helped her to feel comfortable. Jennie's home is also very relaxing and the neighborhood is perfect for walks throughout the day. We look forward to booking Jennie's services again soon!

Jennie and her husband took wonderful care of our dog during our 2 week vacation! This was our first time using a sitter, and we were so happy with the care our dog received. Jennie shared plenty of photos and updates, which were very much appreciated. I was able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing that our pup was in great hands. We'd definitely love to book with Jennie again!

Jennie is awesome!!! My dog is so shy and the first night he’s with her he is cuddling with her. Thanks so much!

Jennie is prompt, incredibly friendly and knowledgeable! My shy dog opened up to her right away, and he’s usually a tough sell. Looking forward to more walks!

Juneau has stayed with Jennie a couple of times now and is so at home there. We do not worry at all when we’re away because we know Juneau is in the best hands. Jennie is super communicative and takes su b good care of our girl. She can’t wait for her next stay at Jennie’s!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced yard, and our neighborhood has lots of green spaces for walks. As mentioned above, I love to walk and walk several miles every day regardless! Dog friendly open-plan townhouse with hardwood floors, pics in the gallery. Note: We live in a pretty dense neighborhood with lots of other dogs that can be heard now and again. If you have a highly reactive dog that barks at outside noises, this may not be the best fit.

A typical day

I love to walk and would love canine companionship! Inside the house we will spend some time seeing what commands your dog knows and learning new ones.

If your dog is not an obedient walker, my preference is to use a prong collar. Please advise if this is a concern for you.
