A dog-lover to the core
Pet care experience
Since I was six years old, my family’s house was never without a dog. I have always had an affinity for caring for others — animals or people. I am highly experienced with taking care of peoples’ loved ones… be it dogs, cats, children, or elderly parents. I was born to care for others. I fulfill this every day in my career in healthcare, but I would like to spend some time caring for some furry friends too.
Reviews
So thoughtful and takes great care of our Griffin!!
Super reliable! Was willing to come in the rain, and even on a day when she was originally planning to take off. Very professional.
Jennifer is amazing! So attentive and thoughtful. Her first walk with our dog was during a terrible rainy day and handled it like a champ!!
Very communicative, easy to talk to, and very attentive to all of our dogs needs. She's very friendly and sent plenty of photos during the walk. I feel she had a good handle on our girl and we would love to use her again.

On my days off, I will have ample time to care for your sweet pup. I will make sure to give your dog some quality outdoors time in whatever kind of outdoor space your home and neighborhood has available. If the weather is harsh, we can transition to more play time indoors.
Information Jennifer K. would like to know about your pet
It would be important to know if your dog tends to run off, or if they tend to stay by your side. I would love to know if your pet is skid fish/timid, and how best to approach them. I would love to know how they interact with other dogs, people, and children, as to provide an all-around safe experience for your pet and everyone around us. I would like to know if your dog tends to pull on the leash on a walk as well. None of the answers to these questions would deter me from watching your dog, it is just helpful information so I can tailor my visit with your dog as best I can.
A typical day
The perfect day would include a walk to a park (if there is a dog friendly park in the area) with a ball or frisbee, or whatever your dog loves best. We will take a water break and rest in the shade before turning back home. For the more energetic dogs, I will allow more time for active play. When we get home I will allow your pet to cool down and rehydrate, and will reward them with a treat (if able) for their good behavior. I will give them belly rubs and play with them in the comfort of their home. I will let them out to use the bathroom and be sure their water bowl is full before I leave.

I work full-time, but in three 13.5 hour shifts a week, sometimes on weekends, leaving me many free weekdays. These will vary greatly, as my schedule is constantly shifting, but I will communicate my schedule to help you care for your pet whenever I can.
