Exercise, Drop-In Care = Happy Pups

Pet care experience

Hello, I'm Jennifer! I have never lived without a dog, and I can't imagine doing so! I grew up on a sheep farm that included working dogs! I currently own an Australian Shepard and two black cats. I have raised and house-trained multiple dogs, and have cared for them through their senior years and final passing. We have taken our dogs to training and helped them earn their Good Canine Citizenship. My teenage daughter, Mavry, and I have been caring for neighbor's dogs for a few years and we love to make new dog friends. The dogs are always happy to see us and we enjoy spending time helping them to have fun while their owners travel. Whether the dogs like us to lay on the floor and have their bellies scratched or play fetch in the yard, we always have fun. I am home full time so I have the flexibility to provide multiple drop-in visits to provide care, give belly rubs, and even take your dog for a 30 minute adventurous walk where we can stop to smell the roses. I can even care for cats and other critters if needed. Leaving our own dogs when we have to travel is always hard, let us help ease your concerns by caring for your furry babies as if they were part of our own pack.

Jennifer was so caring and fitting for my pet's needs! She easily adapted to all their need and kept me updated along the way so I could feel stress free while I was away from them.

Jennifer was great with my dogs. She went above and beyond walking them and sending me great pics everyday.

Jennifer is so great with my dog and sends really thoughtful messages and lots of pictures after their walks. Communication is excellent as well

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She was easy to communicate with, extremely professional and treated my pup, Murphy, like he was her own. I loved getting pictures of Murphy while I was gone! This was my first time using Rover and Jennifer made the process so easy. I will definitely be using Jennifer again!

Information Jennifer G. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the dog's normal daily routine so that I can try to mimic it as closely as possible to reduce their stress while the owner is away. I also will ask if there are any special concerns or behaviors that I need to be aware of. I like to know if there are favorite toys, games, or special spots for petting that will help me to help the pet relax. If walks have been requested I will ask if there is a normal route to use for the walk. I also ask owners to share their veterinarian's contact information.

A typical day

During my drop-in visits I feed and let the dogs outside for their potty break. I devote the rest of the time to giving them attention through petting, playing in the yard, or with any favorite toys they own. If a walk has been requested, I will take them on their regular route if the owner has one, otherwise we will walk for a full 30 minutes throughout the dog's neighborhood. I am always careful to make sure the dog doesn't pick up anything to eat along the way as my dog will sometimes try to do so.
