Pet care experience

I adore animals!

I have always loved all types of animals, but dogs are the best! We currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs -- a young boxer, Bongo, and an older chihuahua mix, Fiddle -- but I love watching other people's pups, too. And my boxer also loves having dog guests!

Jen was great. She helped my dog deal with anxiety during at thunderstorm, and maintained good communication the whole time.

Leeloo came home happy and healthy, and we felt so comfortable having her stay with you!

I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Jennifer. She was so sweet to my girl and Lupin took to her right away. I appreciated her level of communication everyday and especially her unflappability and ease in the face of surprises along the way.

Jen is the best! I love leaving my pup with her, I always know that they’ll be well taken care of while I’m away.

Great all around! Easy to coordinate with and flexible when our plans changed. Lots of communication and updates throughout and our dog had a blast. Jennifer is awesome!

Schedule

I currently work from home, so I am able to keep an eye on the dogs all day long. When the weather is nice, I keep the door to our fenced back yard cracked, so the dogs can go in and out as they please. Otherwise, I let them in and out frequently throughout the day.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced-in back yard, so my dogs run around loose, but if your pup is an escape artist, I'm happy to keep them inside unless they are supervised and/or leashed. My boxer loves romping around with other dogs. I do allow my dogs on the furniture, but I am happy to keep your dog(s) off if that is not allowed at your house. And if your pup does best in a crate, we can continue that here, too. We do also have 2 cats, so we can only watch dogs who are cat safe.

Pets

A typical day

I love to play with the dogs in our home and back yard -- fetch, tug, chase -- and I like to give them activities that are mentally stimulating -- treat balls, stuffed Kongs, licking mats, snuffle mats, etc. And, of course, if the dogs enjoy playing with one another, that is fantastic. Bongo will play endlessly! There are so many great places to go on walks around Missoula, but Blue Mountain is one of my favorites since the dogs can be off-lead (if the dog's recall is good).

Obviously, I'd like to know if the dog has any behavioral issues I should know about as well as any sorts of allergies, but I also like to know if there are things that I can do for the dog to make it feel at home in our home. Are there certain toys or treats or games that the dog particularly enjoys? Do they prefer being able to go in their crate any time? Is the dog sensitive to loud noises, and if so, how should that situation be handled?
