Pet care experience
Welcome to my dog care service! I'm dedicated to providing loving and attentive care for your furry friends. In August 2023, I had the honor of caring for a senior husky during his final days after his previous owner passed away. Showing him love and affection before he took his last breath was a profoundly moving experience. Additionally, I volunteer at the Ann Arbor Humane Society, where I offer love and care to abandoned pets.
Reviews

She took excellent care of my dog and sent lots of pics of her💕 We both had a great weekend thanks to Jen!

Jennifer took wonderful care of our dog while we were out of town. Communication was great, and I especially appreciated the photo and video updates. She demonstrates a real kindness and care for dogs.

Jennifer took such good care of our dog while we were away, and shared photos/video to keep us updated as well. We will definitely reach out to her for dog sitting in the future!

Remy was in great hands with Jennifer! She kept us updated on how he was doing throughout his stay and sent photo and video updates. Her home is so clean and welcoming to dogs. She is a true dog lover!! Definitely recommend and we will use her again in the future!
