Pet care experience

I have always been a dog lover and have rescued and fostered many over the years. I worked part time at a dog shelter and spent most of my free time with dogs of all types. I have 2 of my own (small ones) and would love to help out others who are looking for someone to take care of their babies. My pups are very friendly and have never shown aggression toward another dog. Over the years we have fostered over 75 dogs and professionally sat for many others. I am proud to say there has never been an injury, fight or emergency. I know what it's like to leave your pets in the hands of a stranger and wonder if they are being taken care of. I have been there! It is my goal to give the same service to someone else that I would expect for my own. I also have a very large, fenced in yard (just had fence replaced) with a doggie door so there is always a lot of area to play in. I have a pooper scooper company that services my yard weekly so it is very sanitary and free of harmful plants or other materials. We are close to Cedar Park Dog Park and Brushy Creek hiking trails. We frequent these places often! Most importantly, my whole family adores dogs and they participate in playing and loving on each one we have in the home! And yes, I will spoil your dog! While I prefer small to medium dogs, I will consider large dogs on a case by case basis. I am very careful about introductions and know how important it is to take things slowly. I will never just let dogs run around together without plenty of time to get to know each other. I do this by keeping mine kenneled while they sniff and introduce, walking on leashes together and being leashed in the home until I feel confident they will do well together. It is very important for me that your dogs and mine stay safe. **This is also why I will only board one dog at a time or two from the same home if they are non aggressive towards other dogs. I do NOT take more than one job at a time and do not take dogs that are aggressive towards other dogs. I don't feel I can give the right kind of care when I am overloaded! It isn't fair to the owners who are paying good money to have their pet taken care of. I also have fostered many, many small puppies and worked in the neonatal kitten ward bottle feeding baby kittens. So, I am always available to watch babies :)

Jennifer was terrific. One of the best things was that she allowed me to see her place with my dog. Very transparent and welcoming. Nili had a blast. When we picked Nili up, she was what we hoped for - a happy dog. Jennifer was so good with Nili that she in fact had Nili sleeping in their bedroom so that Nili does not have any initial anxiety issues. Jennifer was consistent with her daily messaging and pictures - we as pet parents were very much at ease.

Jennifer was great with Zoey. She sent me her pictures and videos daily and set my mind at ease.she followed my instructions for her food and sleeping. Even before the trip, she was the only sitter who let me in the house and allowed me to check her backyard which helped me make my decision instantly, Zoey came home happy and relaxed. I will definitely board with her again.

We booked Jennifer when we had an urgent need. I was nervous because we'd never used Rover and our pup hadn't been away from us since the beginning of the pandemic. We took a chance based on her reviews and return customers and lucked out. I was put at ease when I met her. She's very calm and prioritizes the comfort of the dogs in her care, and their people. Her house is clean, dog-and-human friendly. She introduces her dogs and guest dogs to each other slowly and let's them come out and explore at their own pace. She kept us posted with text updates and photos and gave our dog the TLC he needed. Would use her again.

I like to follow the instructions of the owner and ask that they leave me with some written instructions on how they want them cared for. I only crate trained when it is asked and I always try to respect the wishes of my client in regards to how their dog is taken care of. Please bring vet info and letter stating that I am watching them and can take them to vet in case of emergency. Please do not bring toys. Bring bed, crate if needed and all food and detailed instructions.
