Pet care experience
I've had an affinity for dogs my whole life, and they've always shown me affection as well. I enjoy all dog types. If your dog needs a peaceful person to cuddle with or play with while you're away I'm perfect. I've enjoyed a variety breeds and temperaments of dogs in my life. I started caring for my neighbors' dogs when I was 5yrs old, and had my first overnight boarder when I was 9yrs old. Since then, I've owned various breeds from 2 comical little Boston Terrier girls to an English Sheepdog/Australian Sheepdog mix (not a photogenic dog at all, but a serious family protector). I also had a beautiful hunting yellow lab who lived 18yrs, sweetest dog at home and super professional in the field. I believe I can connect with most dogs and will put them at ease while you're away.
Reviews
Jennifer has stayed at my place, taking care of my large dog, several times. My house is always as I left it, my dog is happy and the whole process is easy. In total, with dog sitting stays at her place, too, I have had Jennifer watch my dogs for probably 7 or 8 times over the last 3 or 4 years. She is easy going and flexible. My dog is so sweet, but I don't trust her around everyone and Jennifer does great with her!
Our dog adores her, he doesn’t even look back to us when we drop him off. She is a true animal lover
Our dog is always happy and calm when we get home and is much happier than when we boarded him at the vet in the past.
My daughter has Jennifer watch her dogs all the time and now so do I. It was a very positive and comforting experience to have her watch my dogs for two weeks and in fact have, have already scheduled another stay with her. She is very knowledgeable, pleasant and made it a breeze to drop them off as she takes them for a walk to relieve any anxiety for both my dogs and myself. I definitely recommend her!

I give lots of snuggle time to dogs that stay with me. Also, I am near a nature walk dog park that is great for dogs who enjoy dog parks & need to stretch their legs more. For dogs that aren’t comfortable at dog parks I walk them on leash around the trails within my community. Lots of bunnies to bark at.
Information Jennifer K. would like to know about your pet
I love all dog breeds. I can watch dogs of all sizes, but would love to know how comfortable they are with kids and other dogs. I would also like to know their normal activity level. This will help me plan for their comfort and activities.
A typical day
I live near a few parks & nature walks that are perfect for daily walks. In the house we will cuddle and play tug. Perhaps we will practice learning tricks for treats.

Availability
I currently work part-time, independently from home, so I have plenty of unrestricted time to spend with your pup. During the week my 13yo is at school, but on weekends he helps play & cuddle with dogs that find him amusing.
