Dogs are family for me
Pet care experience
I have always loved dogs. My first puppy was a little Schnauzer named Dr. Pepper, and he lived to be over 20 years old! Since then I've shared my life with two very long- lived pugs, an Australian cattle dog, two crazy Viszlas, and my current kids Gracie the bulldog and her adopted siblings Guardian and Eve. Can't imagine life without dogs around :) I did pet sitting all through college, cared for friends’ dogs while they were gone on deployments, and I've been sitting through Rover for several years now. Experienced with lots of different breeds, sizes, special medical needs. I have volunteered with local rescues and am experienced with the special emotional and behavioral needs of foster/adopted dogs.Dogs are part of the family here at my house. I work from home, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and lots of time to spend playing, exercising, and cuddling with pups :) Honestly I just love dogs and would love some playmates for my dog Gracie to hang out with!
Reviews
Awesome work as usual!
Another awesome Bailey sitting, thanks!
Jennifer is the absolute greatest! We’ve been taking our dog to Jennifer’s since he was a pup and he’s almost 8 now. He is ecstatic when we turn in to her driveway, he can’t get out fast enough to see her! He doesn’t even tell us bye;). Makes us so happy he loves to visit!
Jennifer took the time to convince our nervous girl to go out, she was so patient, and also brought in our packages! She rocks!!!!!

I like to keep your dog on the schedule they are used to at home. If they have a feeding time, regular walk time, special game/toy for play time, please let me know so I can make their stay as comfortable as possible. If I have to leave the house, I always keep dogs in their own secure and separate space for safety.

Information Jennifer D. would like to know about your pet
Dog would need to be fine with my dog and two children (ages 16 and 11). I keep smaller dogs in a separate space so they are not overwhelmed by my larger dogs. Would like written copy of dog's schedule, any meds or special needs, info on any medical conditions, emergency contacts, etc. Dogs must be current on all vaccinations.
A typical day
I have extensive walking trails in my neighborhood. Also have a fenced backyard for playtime. A typical day here starts with breakfast, walks or backyard exercise, a little training reinforcement, quiet time, then afternoon playtime, dinner, evening exercise and/or walk, and quiet chewy time before bed.

I’m home most of the day, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup and the flexibility to keep to whatever schedule they are used to.
