Pet care experience
Hello Rover friends! I have been on hiatus since the pandemic but am back to caring for your pets with enthusiasm and love. I have had dogs and cats and many other critters all of my life, and pet sit for friends and family for years. I have grown up with large and small dogs since I was young. I have had the privilege of taking care of my own dogs as a child, including Rottweilers, Dobermans, Golden Retrievers, Labradors, and any mixture in between, including my three-legged dog Jack. I grew up with many different animals and was taught to treat my pets as I wish to be treated; fresh water, food, exercise, love and kindness. I lost my rescue dog Luke, who was a Shepherd/Husky mix, seven years ago to cancer. He came with psychological issues that were difficult to overcome, but through training, patience, and persistence, I was able to help bring out the best side of both of us. I treat all pets with the same patience and kindness I would treat my own. I value the importance of consistency with the owners training and schedule for their pet. I enjoy my time with dogs, cats, birds, and other pets, and look forward to caring for your pet as I would my own! ***I can board dogs in my home up to 60 lbs (weight limit per condo restrictions).*** ***For boarding and doggy daycare, I only watch one client at a time for a safe, calm, and personalized experience. In other words, your dog will receive all of my attention and affection!

Jennifer was a lifesaver taking Zoey on short notice and treating her like a queen! She was incredibly gentle and patient with my senior pup.
Definitely 5 stars, at least! She took great care of our Zoey! I would totally trust Jennifer to watch her again. She was easy to work with, came over for a meet & greet, and took care of a little doggie tummy trouble :)
Thank you for taking such good care of Eddie!
If it was possible to leave Jennifer 10 stars, I would! Every part of her stay with Riley, my 4-year-old Shihpoo with massive separation anxiety, went smoothly. Jennifer provided consistent updates, photos, and videos, and Riley definitely had a blast. She clearly loves animals, and it was a big relief knowing Riley was in such good hands. My apartment was left in impeccable condition, and Jennifer even changed the sheets, so I wouldn’t have to when I came home from a busy 3-day work conference and a very late flight. I couldn’t recommend Jennifer more highly, and wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with Riley again!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for each pet as I would my own, and follow instructions from the owner for consistency in the pets routine. A pet in my care is never left in the elements unattended and I aim to provide a stress free interaction.
Home
Information Jennifer C. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know about bathroom, walking, and feeding schedules, potty training, any habits or tendencies including chewing or destructive behavior, separation anxiety, how they walk on a leash, and if they are a runner if they were to escape. Are there any leash reactivity issues, or behavior or training concerns, that I should know about to keep your pet and myself safe. Does the dog have their own bed or he/she permitted to sleep in bed with its owner and any medications the pet is on.
A typical day
I love hiking in Rock Creek Park so I imagine your dog would enjoy accompanying me on a nice walk there. I usually walk about 5 miles each day and would love your dog to join me as long as the weather is safe to do so.

I work remotely now and have the flexibility to care for your pet when you aren't able to. I am an avid walker/hiker and love to be outside to get as much exercise as possible.
