Certified Vet Assist you can trust

Pet care experience

I've always watched over family and friends pets while the owner had to go out of town or just needed a temporary stay for their pets. I am used to babysitting small dogs like Chihuahuas to bigger dogs like Pitbulls and German Sheppards. As of right now I'm boarding non aggressive small to medium dogs in my home. I am experienced in dog training as well so your little buddy might come home with new things to show you. I am a certified vet assistant so you can trust your furry friend is in good hands. Your dog will get one to two daily walks depending on your dogs capabilities( I am very careful with senior dogs). I am experienced in caring for many different dog breeds of different sizes and ages. About this sitter: I received my vet assistant certification and I work in an animal hospital as a vet assistant and animal caretaker. My goals in this career field is to become a certified veterinary technician. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I learned to walk. When I received my first paycheck i bought myself a Westie pup who is now about to be six years old this August. I volunteered over 90 hours at the san jose city animal shelter and enjoyed every moment i got to make a difference in an animals life. Meet my pets I own a fully vaccinated and spayed Westie who is super friendly and playful. she is not aggressive in any way and always loves making new friends. We live in a house with a full backyard that is fenced off and escape proof. About my yard The backyard is very large with a cement patio.The yard is fenced in with only one entry door to the front yard which has a heavy duty lock on it. My experience administering medication Yes, I am trained in administering a variety of medications ex: subcutaneous,oral, ophthalmic etc.

Jennifer did a great job with our dogs. They really felt comfortable in her home. She was very responsive throughout their stay. It helped to know that they would be well taken care of while we were away. We were a little worried about our young one, but Jennifer made her feel less nervous about being away from home.

Jennifer was awesome with our little dog. We had a last minute back out and needed to find someone right away! She was there and we loved having her take care of our little guy Cody for almost a week. He came home happy and we could not have asked for more. Would use her again and again when a dog sitter is needed!

Jennifer was fantastic! She was very patient and understanding in my anxiety of leaving our cattle dog tri-paw with a non-family member or friend for the first time! Our pup came home happy & tuckered out from the play time with Sammy and hikes in the hills. I was happy to see that when we came to pick her up, our pup was still wanting to follow Jennifer around (she really liked her). Jennifer was always quick to respond both before and after booking. While we were on our trip, on several days she texted us pictures and videos. Jennifer's love of animals is evident and they love her too! I would highly recommend her and plan to use her services in the future!

Information Jennifer D. would like to know about your pet

Anything the owner feels i should know such as if the dog has any medical needs or if he/she has a medical history. If the dog has separation anxiety or digging habits. Does the dog steal off the dinner table? Bad habits can be fixed with positive reinforcement but it is necessary for me to be aware of them so i can prepare myself or my home to meet the dogs required precautions.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live next to a mountain that has multiple trail entries. Depending on the age and health of your dog i can take him/her on outdoor trails or walks to the local dog park down the street. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Where the dog sleeps is up to you. Some owners prefer their dog to be kept in a crate at night an some prefer them outside. i personally don't mind having them inside with their beds. Time I'll spend with your dog I plan on spending a minimum of 4 hours a day. I also live with my family who are also responsible dog lovers.Your dog will never be alone here.
