I currently work from home so I'm home most of the time. At times I need to leave the house for hours for meetings, but generally have a flexible schedule.

About Jennifer B.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to continue familiar care for dogs so if they usually crate, we can crate here if you bring a crate. If you are working on certain training things, we will try to help reinforce that. If you provide detailed directions for care, we will try to follow as closely as possible to help you and your dog while your away. If you dog need medications, I will administer with your directions. I understand the difficulty of finding care for special needs dogs and happy to help give you a break. One caveat...I would like couch cuddles!

Information Jennifer B. would like to know about your pet
I would prefer an owner to send detailed directions for feeding times, amounts, and habits. a short list of commend words can help us reinforce good behaviors. Plus, please send with a blanket or t-shirt smell that they are familiar with so they feel more comfortable. We currently don't have a crate, but happy if you'd bring one if they are familiar with crating. I'd like to know if they chew when left alone and what the plan is when we do need to leave your dog alone. Also want to know if they are reliably potty trained or if we need to be vigilant. Whatever we can do to help your dog and you feel comfortable to vacation. We provide pets with lots of love and dependable care.
A typical day
I like to take dogs for a walk or throw a ball in our large backyard. I try to get them a little exercise in the morning so they can relax while I work or leave for a meeting. Then I will walk or ball play again later in the day. A tired dog is a good dog! I hope for couch dog snuggles in the evening, but if you dog wants to watch TV with us from a comfy dog bed on the floor, they can choose.

Empty Nester Missing Fur Friends
Pet care experience
Hi! I raised two rescue dogs for 16 years and miss having dogs around. I have experience with a high energy ball dog and anxiety riddled cuddler so I'm ready to play and care for your fur friend - whatever they need to feel at home. Both of my dogs needed special care and medications throughout their life; therefore, I'm prepared to do whatever your dog needs to be comfortable and cared for. I will take daily walks, plus I have a large fenced yard. I'm excited to provide a safe and loving “home away from home” for your fur friend(s).
Reviews
The best!! Sends me tons of photos and updates, takes my dog on field trips, and really enjoys being around him
Jennifer was fantastic with our dog, making her feel at home to the point she even cuddled. This is high praise straight from our dog, who is not typically a fan of cuddling. Jennifer updated us with pictures throughout the week which was appreciated. She has a lovely fenced in backyard. We will definitely schedule with Jennifer in the future!
Otis can be anywhere from extremely anxious to extremely obnoxious and rowdy, and Jennifer did an amazing job with Otis and his many quirks! Otis got many long walks to satisfy his needs, and lots of quality play and cuddle time. Jennifer did amazing with updating me on Otis throughout his stay, and we would definitely recommend and come back again!
Jenny was fantastic! Amelia just loved her yard and came home without the signs of being “homesick” which made me so happy! She did a great job with communication too!
