The God-DOG-Mother

Pet care experience

I have grown up around dogs for as long as I can remember. My first real dog care experiences started at a young age. I was the owner in charge, starting around age 8, with our family maltese named Niki and continued with our second family dachshund, Sara, at age 12. Both Niki and Sara were rescues and trusted in me to give them their medicine, take them on walks, bathe them, and even snuggle with at night. Now at the ripe age of 34 I am currently a God-Dog-Mother of four canines for two separate owners. I truly believe that dogs are just as much family as are people. I love and cherish every canine relationship I have ever built and continue to enjoy making those connections with dogs I meet along the way.

Jennifer was terrific. Very conscientious and professional. Thorough communication and updates on pet status. We have one dog who is a "barker" with some social anxiety, but Jennifer immediately made friends with her. She clearly has "a way." I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her.

Jennifer spent two days with my cherished 12 yo Cavalier King Charles and 4 y.o. English Golden retriever. My usual pet-sitter was away and I was quite nervous to use someone from a website. I was extremely pleased with every aspect of Jennifer's time spent watching my dogs in my home. She immediately engaged with them and got down on their level to say hello. She took detailed notes and sent me fantastic pictures of them having fun several times per day. She administered medicine to one of the dogs, let them snuggle in bed with her and even left a lovely note reviewing their time together. I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for in-home dog sitting or dog walking. The house was left immaculate and my dogs were super happy when I returned:)) She is very professional and reliable.

Jen has been such a pleasure to deal with. She is friendly, reliable, always on time and most importantly great with my dog. She sends me pictures and leaves me notes about their time together. She is even training Jax a little which is much needed! She is fantastic

Jennifer takes "God-Dog-Mom" to a whole new level. With her attentiveness and ease of communication, I can say that I am 100% comfortable in leaving my 3, YES 3 dogs, in her care. She sends me pictures or videos at every visit, which I absolutely love! She also has very specific knowledge into the spinal problems of dachshunds (I have 2) and the ear problems of cocker spaniels so I am confident in leaving treatment in her care. One of my dachshunds recently suffered a slipped disc in her spine and the Dr. told us to crate her and basically treat her like a baby and not let her walk anywhere, which was absolutely terrifying. When we told Jenn what happened, she understood the care Cocoa needed and made sure to send us updates on her condition when we couldn't be home full time. It's tough not being around our pets for long periods of time but with Jennifer, it's like we never left them in the first place. Thanks for always being there for our family!

Information Jennifer H. would like to know about your pet

I always ask dog owners if their canine companion has any special needs I should be aware of. I do not have any preference on breed, a dog is a dog.

A typical day

Depends on the dogs abilities, their likes, and the weather outside. I love being outside with a dog so they can be one with nature. We can be found: playing fetch, competing in tug-of-war, snuggling, squirrel watching, treat eating, tummy rubbing, you name it...
