Information Jennifer B. would like to know about your pet

We have four small children in our home and a dog of our own so it is important that your dog feels comfortable around kids and other dogs. I can accommodate crates, but you’ll need to bring your own. Please let me know if your dog has any dietary restrictions or any other needs.

A typical day

If your dog is boarding with us, they will get the full family feel! Your dog will get to bond with my dog and be around my four children. We will go for daily walks, play in our yard and have plenty of snuggles on the couch!

Pet care experience

I’Ve always been an animal lover. My own dog I consider my first child and will always treat your pet as I would want someone to treat my Toby. I’ve been watching and walking dogs since around 2015. As mentioned, I have a dog of my own - he is an 8 year old shorthaired pointer rescue mix and excellent with other dogs. I treat any dog that comes to my house as if they were my own. Lots of belly rubs, walks, playing outside and delicious treats! I like to make your dog feel like they are on a vacation when they come to my house. I know they’ll be missing you so I do my best to make sure they are living their best life with me.

Jennifer is so amazing with my cat Henry! I know he’s in good hands and happy to see her when she stops in. She always so thorough and lets me know about his mood, medicines, etc.

I love that my cats love having Jennifer check up on them while I'm away. :) She's communicative and flexible, even on the holiday weekend I booked. We (the cats and I) appreciate all you do!

Jennifer was an outstanding host for our pup! This was his first time away from home since we adopted him, and Jennifer made sure to make him feel right at home and to provide us with plenty of updates and photos. He was happy and relaxed when we picked him up - we couldn’t ask for more!
