One on one attention for your dog
Pet care experience
*Insured and Red Cross Pet CPR/First Aid certified* I've been lucky to have had four wonderful dogs in my life - all of different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I know that some dogs want to fetch all day long, others want a slow walk with lots of stops for answering pee-mail, and some need lots of mental stimulation to keep them healthy and happy. My own dog is reactive and I am experienced in working with reactive dogs. Your dog will enjoy one on one time with me to meet their specific needs, whether it's a slow walk around the block or a brisk gait mixed in with some training. I provide treats (just let me know of any dietary restrictions), poop bags, and toweling down/muddy paw cleanup.
Reviews
She sent wonderful updates and made my pup so happy to have a person to hang out with while on exercise restrictions!
Jennifer is great as always!
Jennifer Mallory is excellent! So sweet with our dog (Male German Shepherd) and responsible and conscientious. She is fantastic at communicating with us and caring for and handling Ace. We trust her in our home and with our beloved furry family member!
Jennifer C. was very quick to pick up my drop-in request and was thorough in reading through Koda’s notes and communicating with me. Highly recommend:)
About Jennifer C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'll always keep your pet leashed, unless you specifically request otherwise and we've had some previous experience together in a safe environment first so I'm comfortable with their recall. If transporting your dog for a trail walk, I have a kennel/separate section in my car for their transport. As a dog and a kid mom, I'm always looking out for potential hazards and since I provide one on one care, you can rest assured that I am always paying attention to your pup!
Information Jennifer C. would like to know about your pet
I provide training treats - usually Zuke's or a similar brand. Please let me know any food allergies ahead of time. Information about your dog's likes/dislikes, fears, or prior experiences with other dogs/people is always helpful!
A typical day
Dog walk rates include a walk around your neighborhood. We can discuss in advance preferred routes, and your dog's walking preferences or any reactivity issues. I prefer Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive (LIMA) methods of restraint, such as harnesses or gentle leaders, over e-collars or prong collars. Drop in visits include a walk or indoor/outdoor play, feeding, and/or treat training review. I'll also refresh food and water if needed and clean up any minor dog messes in the house.

Availability
I'm a stay at home mom with three kids in school, so I'm available during the school day, around whatever other commitments I might have.
