I work full time during the week, but my weekends are dedicated to providing loving care and attention to animals. I have a busy household with three grown children, and there is almost always someone home to keep your pets company and ensure they receive the care, comfort, and supervision they deserve. Our home is a pet-loving environment, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals, giving them attention, playtime, and a safe place to feel comfortable while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience working with strong and high-energy breeds, including Chow Chows and Pit Bulls. I’m comfortable managing dogs who may need extra structure, including those with food sensitivities, leash challenges, or who require separation from other dogs. I understand the importance of consistency, boundaries, and safety for everyone involved. At home, I have two dogs — an Australian Shepherd mix and a Boxer/Catahoula mix — so I’m very familiar with active personalities and the care they need to thrive.

Information Jennifer H. would like to know about your pet

To ensure a smooth, safe, and happy stay, please let me know about any important quirks or needs your dog may have. This includes feeding routines, food sensitivities, allergies, medications, crate training, separation anxiety, escape tendencies, leash behavior, and how they interact with other dogs or wildlife. If your dog has any fears (storms, loud noises, men, children, etc.), resource guarding habits, or specific comfort routines, sharing those details ahead of time helps me provide the best possible care. My goal is to keep your pup comfortable, secure, and on a routine that feels familiar to them.

A typical day

We have a large, fully fenced backyard overlooking a peaceful pond filled with birds and wildlife — the perfect setting for safe outdoor enrichment. Dogs enjoy supervised “sniffari” adventures, scent games, structured fetch, recall practice, and confidence-building exploration. For pups who love to observe, the pond view provides safe, stimulating bird-watching from the yard. There’s plenty of space to run, play, and burn energy while staying secure.

Pets

Compassionate, Trusted Care

Pet care experience

I have extensive experience caring for both puppies and senior dogs. As a devoted dog mom to three pups who lived full lives into their senior years, I understand the love, patience, and special care dogs need at every stage of life. I’ve also fostered numerous dogs over the years and have adopted two senior dogs, giving them a comfortable and loving home in their golden years. In addition to my own pets, I’ve cared for many friends’ and family members’ animals—often on short notice—so I understand how important it is to have someone dependable and trustworthy when plans change. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always be my top priority.

This was canceled a long time ago so I’m confused on why I’m receiving this. Did you cancel it on your end?
