Hello, my name is Jennifer and I have been working with animals for 17 years. The last 10 years have been spent running my pet sitting company which offered both pet sitting in your home and in ours. In addition to my company I have been an adoption coordinator for a local rescue and actively involved with fostering and caring for special needs animals. I am certified in CPR and first aid as well as 8 years in a vets office as a vet tech. We have the ability to administer oral, and injectable medications That your pet may need. Our home is approx 3000 sqft and has access to a fully fenced yard of approx 3/4 acres with a locked gate. We have a dog door that is open on avg 15 hours a day, with the exception or night time when we can not be out with your pet or if we step out (maximum 30 minutes). We do have the ability to safely section off your pet for quiet time within our home if needed. The health of your pet and ours is one of the most important things to us. Our yard is professionally sanitized once a week to ensure your pets safety from germs. The yard is picked up twice daily, toys are disinfected after every pet stay and visit and or twice a week, fresh filtered water is available to your pet 24/7 thanks to Pet safe fountains for indoor and out. Most importantly someone is here 24/7 for your pet and while in our care you pet becomes part of our family. My only job is caring for you pets. ***Also offer a day care option**** Why I love dog sitting I have grown up with dogs and typically have had 2-3 large to giant dogs at all times throughout my life. I initially went to college for pre vet so I worked as a vet tech during that time to aid in paying for college. Due to un for seen circumstances I was unable to follow through with vetrinarian medicine and decided to continue on my path as a veterinarian technician instead. In 2004 I had my second child and wanted the ability to stay home with her so I opened a pet sitting business. In addition to my pet sitting business, which is a family affair, I have heavily participated in Rescue by fostering and helping to coordinate adoptions. In addition we have happily fostered well over 100 dogs and cats including several special needs animals and orphaned litters. Meet my pets We have three loving dogs (2 large breed and 1 toy breed) who live with us 24/7 who are UTD on their vaccines (available on request), and on HW and flea and tick meds. They both are CGC (canine good citizen members) and have gone through obedience training. We only use positive reinforcement behavioral training in our home. In addition we may have a foster dog in our home who has been thoroughly behavioral tested to ensure he or she will be friendly with dogs, cats, and people. In addition we have 3 dog savvy cats who have grown up with dogs of all sizes. About my yard We have approx .75 acres that is fully fenced with a split rail fence and a coated wire inside for smaller pets. The wire fully reaches down into the ground to prevent even the smallest of guests from getting out. Total height is 48 inches. It is almost completely flat with a rectangle like design. There is a large patio that your dog can enjoy sunning themselves on that includes several umbrellas that are up on sunny days. On warm days we have a kiddie pool that gets set up for those dogs who love the water. My experience administering medication Yes I have many years of veterinarian technician experience in a vets office as well as years of fostering special needs pets. There are two people in the home who can administer IV medication (kidney patients), injectable medications, and oral medications. We understand, better then most, that special needs pets are some of the hardest to find sitters for. We have our own special needs pet who needs several medications for hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, and a heart condition. We understand many medical conditions including kidney disease, heart patients, orthopedic, and Mega E dogs to name. Few.
