Pet care experience

Have trained dogs for Fema and been on multiple world teams** rates are $50 a night + $25 additional dog. There is a glitch in the system that doubles with 2 puppies. I can adjust this manually but you need to send a request. I DO NOT charge extra just because its a holiday and I do not charge extra for puppies. ** NO pit bulls,presa, Chows, Doberman, giant schnauzer, mastiffs or rottweilers or mixes of those breeds are accepted due to insurance. Meet and Greets are required. I am a licensed Paramedic and FEMA dog handler. . only one dog at a time. I currently do not have my own dog- subject to change summer 2024. At times there is a day of overlap due to one family dropping off and on family picking up. Swimming is extra. I still have access to the pool but do not own the building anymore.. The pool is heated and UV light sanitized. 2 walks daily (weather permitting) are also included as is rotated playtime. All dogs must be current on all vaccinations/titers (proof from vet). Training can be provided for an extra fee. About this sitter: Retired from Fire Dept 15-year k9 handler for FEMA and Illinois Task Force.

Jennifer was great with our boy Scooby. He had a blast in the pool and she knew how to handle our big pup.

Jennifer’s has an extensive background with dogs and after our short meet and greet we felt very comfortable leaving our two dogs in her hands. Fenced in yard, daily videos and pictures had us feeling relieved every day we were away. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

Jennifer was great, and we would absolutely have Cooper stay with her again. We loved the daily, narrated videos, and Cooper enjoyed watching the dogs swimming in the pool next to his room. Thanks for taking such good care of him, Jen.
