We have no pets of our own, so your dog will get all the cuddles and love during their stay. If you would like to schedule a meet and greet please let me know!

Information Jennifer & James H. would like to know about your pet

We are not equipped to provide boarding for reactive dogs or dogs who are not good being around young children as we have a 3 year old and a baby in the home. Please consider this before reaching out to book. Only potty trained adult dogs. Puppy would be an exception to that.

A typical day

Exercise will take place indoors and outdoors when weather permits. Activities would depend upon your individual dog and their needs. We would discuss what energy level your dog is and adjust accordingly. We only do one dog at a time, unless they are “siblings”. This is to ensure the safety of your puppy! It also means your dog has the entire house to themselves. Most of the time they will be enjoying our outdoor screened in porch, laying around our lush green lawn, or at my desk getting pet!

Your Fur Baby's Home Away from Home

Pet care experience

I love all animals, but most especially dogs. We had a Springer Spaniel named Tucker for nearly 15 years. I can give your fur baby a safe, loving, clean home while you are away. I can administer oral medications if needed. I provide companionship all day as I work from home, We have lots of experience with high energy dogs but also love calm temperaments as well. I have trained my own dogs throughout the years and I'm open to any schedules or training techniques you would like to continue while you are away. Dog must be goo with children, non-reactive, and potty trained. If you think we will be a good fit please reach out! I'm happy to answer any questions and look forward to hearing from you.

Jennifer and James were such a God-send when Spenser and I were getting married last week!! Our wedding venue allowed for our doggie to be present at the ceremony (she walked the aisle in a flower collar and pearl leash :)!) but not reception, and so we needed not only a dog sitter but one who would be willing to pick up our girl from the wedding venue! James was happy to do it, showed up right on time, and our Chewie happily went with! They sent us cute pics of our babygirl relaxing on their couch and playing in their backyard during the wedding reception. It really put us at ease. We've never had to turn to Rover for dog sitting, usually we have family do it (obviously not an option when the whole family and friend-crew is at the wedding), but now that we know how amazing James and Jennifer are, we are forever grateful and liable to ask for their help again! Thanks SO much!!

We had an excellent experience with Jenny! From the start communication was clear, prompt, and reassuring. Our dog was well cared for, happy, and comfortable the entire time. They have a great backyard and plenty of space. We received regular updates and photos. We would trust Jenny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.
