Information Jennifer C. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog up to date on vaccinations? Do they have medical issues I need to be aware of like seizures, hip dysplasia, allergies? Does your dog chew furniture? Howl at night? Is your dog leash aggressive? Does your dog get along with cats? What can I do to make them comfortable with me? What are your expectations for the stay.

A typical day

Dog walks around my home include a 2.1 mile loop around our neighborhood. Lots of ball * frisbee fetch in our backyard, my older dogs usually ignore visitors, but sometimes we all play chase together. I am a freelance writer and spend most of my days at home with my two lab mix dogs. We sometimes go for a walk or a car ride to the park, the coffee shop or the pet store for an adventure. I tend to do yardwork and prefer doggy supervision to ensure that I am planting my flowers in the right spot. There's a few times when I have to run short errands, where dogs have to take a nap in their kennels until I get home. My yard and my house are quiet, so there's plenty of relaxing and toys to play with when we get bored.

Pet care experience

Dogs are an invaluable source of companionship, love and laughter. They have the ability to cheer us up and let us know we are important. They're a bright spot in the chaos of everyday life. Their friendship and their loyalty can heal wounds, fill blank spaces in our hearts and remind us that the simple things in life are the best--like tennis balls! Growing up with dogs has given me great appreciation of how deeply and extensively canine companionship improves our lives. I spent my childhood raising and training dogs for various working dog roles like hunting/retrieving herding & farm, service companion for PTSD. It is important to me to provide dogs in my care with engaging experiences to keep them physically and mentally stimulated for their long lasting, continued health. Most of my experience has been with large breed dogs, but I am open to caring for all dogs, regardless of breed or size. My particular strengths are in repetitive bonding experiences, in safe environments; and creating relationships based on positive reinforcement of good behaviors. Education and health awareness are my secondary focus, so that I can provide constructive feedback to dog owners, making sure they are aware of how to care and maintain their dogs health and happiness. I pride myself on being creative, easy going, and compassionate. As a writer and an artist with a bachelor's degree in clinical psychology, I have had to blend my strengths and adapt over the years to meet the demands of military life. I love to approach problems with creative solutions, create a relaxed, easy going atmosphere and use my skills and understanding of counseling to provide constructive feedback. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend.

Jennifer was fabulous watching our pups while we were out of town! I didn’t have to worry once and will absolutely use her again. She sent us daily updates and left us a sweet note we came home to.
