Availability
I teach yoga and work in health, wellness, and fitness, so I am out of the house for a few hours at a time to teach and work with clients. Summer afternoons I'm pretty consistently working out of the house; during the school year I am teaching. Evenings and weekends, we're at soccer (with pets depending on the location) or hanging out around home.

I have a walkout basement and deck above with an unfenced grassy backyard. If your dog is easily recalled, it will be fun to play outside together. If best on a leash, we will go for walks in the nearby nature center or around the neighborhood. If your dog is accustomed to being kenneled while its humans are away or has destructive behaviors, please bring your kennel as well as any beloved toys. Barkley won't steal stuffies! (He only understands frisbees and balls.) If your dog has any special needs or medications, let's talk!

Information Jennifer D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any behaviors I should watch for. If your dog is shy or anxious, know that my Barkley will be extra gentle with them. He's very sensitive to these souls. I welcome special needs dogs and aging dogs - we've cared for blind, deaf, and aging dogs.
A typical day
We play fetch and frisbee in our backyard and go for walks in the nature park just steps away from our front door or for a run around the neighborhood. There may be a soccer practice or game to go to, as well. On beautiful weather days, I work outside while the pups enjoy the fresh air and we play fetch. If socialization and happy roughhousing is your dog's jam (or a fenced area is needed), we'll head to the dog park to play!

Run, Fun, and Snuggle with Us
Pet care experience
I'm a runner who loves a good running buddy! I've been around herding dogs since I was a kid on my grandparents' dairy farm and in my own family growing up. So when I was ready to rescue, I looked for a border collie who would never say no to a run and would protect all within his borders. Barkley loves a good game of frisbee and ball, and a great overnight companion for him would be a jolly someone who doesn't steal his toy but wants to run around with him or goes for runs with us, rain, snow, or shine. Or chills at home while we're outside! My 10-year old twins love Barkley and all the neighbor pets. I was the mom on the trails of Woodbury with the twins in the Bob stroller and Barkley on a leash getting in our miles and shoeing away the ice cream truck so it didn't wake my napping babies! Now my son plays soccer with Barkley and the neighbor dogs, while my daughter takes them for walks and plays ball and frisbee and gives them hugs and pets. We have two cats for snuggling since Barkley is more interested in playing than pets. I have had cats for forever. My first memories are of me as a toddler pushing my dressed-up cat Grace around in a stroller... my daughter has similar memories!
Reviews
Jennifer did a great job with our pup. We enjoyed the photos updates. She doesn’t have a fenced yard but she is not anywhere near a main road and had a nice space for him to go out. She also took him for walks often. Our dog was in good spirits when we picked him up. Would highly recommend using her!
Brooks loves going to Jen's house because of the snuggles. She takes him for walks and he loves spending time with her family. Jen is great to work with. She always sends us a photo and gives updates.
Jennifer D. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Jennifer and her family did an amazing job with Edie! They welcomed her in, made her feel comfortable and were very flexible with pick up and drop off. Jennifer and her family are clearly dog lovers and I would send my girl back any time. Thank you! 💕
