A Loving Family Endeavor.
Pet care experience
My husband and I work from home. We both, in addition to our two young-adult daughters, enjoy loving on your furry family member during their visit. I began my career as a professional dog trainer/behaviorist in Southern California in 1996. It wasn't until after our move to Las Vegas in 2002 that my business was truly established. However, in 2011, we unexpectedly uprooted and moved to Houston, TX, and found myself heading into a new venture in the dog industry. During our 9 years in Texas, I become involved with other canine endeavors, including competing in AKC Conformation with our Akitas and Whippets and occasionally assisting in breed-specific and all-breed rescue organizations. After moving to northwest Mississippi in August 2020, we decided to continue offering our boarding and pet care services because of how much we enjoy it. In addition to playing with dogs, I have a part-time position in my home, which enables me to give each of our canine guests plenty of attention. My husband works full-time from home and is always available as a backup in case I have to run off to an appointment. Also living in our home are our two young adult daughters, Beth & Rachel. We are all dog lovers who also happen to be "dog-wise". Our own dogs are friendly and well-behaved and enjoy having fur-friends come to visit. Admittedly, we do have a good amount of dogs, but we have established a great routine and, if our fur-guest isn't too sure at first, we have plenty of options in keeping dogs separated until our fur-guest feels comfortable and happy. We have a considerable amount of experience at pairing dogs in appropriate play groups according to size, temperament and activity level. Our home is situated on nearly 2 acres with about a half-acre securely fenced for dogs to play in. Our active guests will have tons of fun outside playing with each other and chasing squirrels, in addition to spending a large portion of the day and all night relaxing inside our home. Our more sedentary guests have plenty of laps, couch space, and dog beds to laze around on. While crates are a useful tool for keeping dogs comfortable and safe, especially during the brief periods nobody is home, rest assured your sweet babies will not be locked in a crate for long periods. We also have extensive experience with many types of animals, such as chickens, goats, donkeys and horses and offer drop-in visits, where we come to your home to feed, exercise, and interact with your pet(s) and/or farm animals. Our fee is "per visit" and is the same regardless of the number of pets/animals. Additionally, I offer house sitting on a case-by-case basis where I spend nights at your home. Again, our "per night" fee is the same regardless of the number and type of pets/animals in your home or on your property. However, a premium may be assessed if the care of livestock is fairly substantial. Currently, we are only serving the areas of Holly Springs, Byhalia, and Red Banks for drop-in visits but are available to drive longer distances for house sitting. Feel free to request more information.
Reviews
Jennifer is very knowledgeable and experienced with dogs. I knew my 2 dogs were in good hands when I had to go out of town for almost a week. She took a lot of time during the “meet and greet” to let us know what to expect and for us to share with her about our dog’s personalities, routines, etc.
This was a repeat visit for Onyx. Jennifer and family has been the best to my girl and easy for me. She has also been extremely helpful in overall K9 care and info and has helped me learn more about my girl.
Jennifer and family took great care of our golden doodle puppy. It was her first away from home stay and she fit right into the pack at Jennifer's house. I look forward to future visits. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup.
Very pleased with Jennifer and the communication she provided along and her flexibility to work around my schedule on a last minute booking. Will definitely use her again!

Safety, trust & environment
We begin each day with a quick stretch of the legs and a potty break followed by breakfast then playtime outside. Dogs are divided into small groups according to size and play style then rotated between fun time in our fenced yard and relaxing in our home on dog beds and couches. Evenings are often spent playing family games or watching a movie. For bedtime, dogs can sleep in our rooms, on the couch, or in their crate, depending on where they're most comfortable.

Information Jennifer D. would like to know about your pet
While we accept intact females on a case-by-case basis, it's important we know beforehand, especially if she's in season. In the interest of safety for all involved, we cannot accept mature intact males.
A typical day
Your dogs will receive plenty of mental and physical stimulation. We freely offer attention and treats. We especially enjoy snuggling during a movie in the evenings.
