Safety, trust & environment

You can absolutely trust me in your home and with your pets. Just like I'd treat your pets like they were my own, I'd do the same with your home. I can send photos (pupdates!) as desired and have endless local references.

Information Jennifer D. would like to know about your pet

I've cared for senior dogs, puppies, blind, deaf, dogs with incontinence, broken bones, dogs terrified of strangers, massive dogs that can't help but clobber you when excited, etc. Anything is okay, I'd just love to know your pups special needs ahead of time!

A typical day

This is completely up to the personality of the pup! We are so close to trails, parks, non busy streets, etc. Wether it's tugging with sticks, chasing balls, running on/off leash, or just your average walk. Whatever your pup is used to / you want, is what we'll do! We have no limits here in terms of physical capability or space!

Loving your pets like they're mine!

Pet care experience

From teeny to massive, I can love, cuddle, walk, and care for dogs & cats of all breeds and temperaments. Blind, deaf, senior, tripaws, puppies, car-phobic, escape artists, I've watched 'em all! From dogs (pets) that were trained before they were even born, to the dogs you're terrified to let anyone watch, I'm your girl. Not only have I cared for them all, I've also owned them all. I know how uneasy letting someone watch your furry family member is, so I want to reassure you they'll not only get the care you asked for, but they'll get it with lots of love, scratches, and pets!

We had a great experience with Jenny! She was friendly, easy to work with, and attentive to both of our dogs’ individual needs. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were well cared for and will definitely be scheduling with her again.
