I love my fur-baby and yours!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I would care for my neighbors animals when they were out of town. I’ve always loved dogs and have a 7 yr old Labradoodle, Max, that I rescued when he was a four month old puppy. He had escaped from his original owners and was missing for two days. When the police found him, he had been run over by a car. They couldn’t save his leg so he’s a tripod. He doesn’t even know he’s missing a leg. Max loves walks, water, and playing with his best doodle friend, Molly. I also have a lot of experience administering insulin shots for dogs. I would love to care for your fur babies the way I care for mine.

Jennifer took such great care of Ref while we traveled for spring break. She took him on multiple walks a day, spent quality time playing with him, and even went above and beyond by helping with laundry. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was not only well cared for, but truly loved while we were away. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless home, couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jennifer!

Jenny was amazing with Shortcake. She took my chunk out on walks for me twice a day while I was away on a business trip. I love the photo updates and could tell that shortcake was really enjoying her time. I came hope to a very happy and well adjusted dog. I highly recommend Jenny!

Jenny adopted a tripod dog several years ago. She and Max have been BFF’s to Molly and me ever since. When Molly was diagnosed with diabetes Jenny was at my side as the vet explained the best way to care for her. We were both taught how to administer insulin to Molly. Since then Jenny has fed and given Molly her insulin on many occasions when I have not been home to do it myself. She also would take Molly on walks with her and Max. Jenny is reliable, responsible and kind; the kind of person I would want to care for my dog!
