Information Jennifer K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I am happy to accommodate in any way needed.

A typical day

I love waking up and seeing my new friends! We will share loving pats and a friendly sniff as we settle into the day. After I check the collar, leash tags and supplies, I will grab the poop bags, a small bottle of water and any treats we may need for positive reinforcement and take a quick potty break. Then we can take a gentle loop around my dog, friendly neighborhood, greeting neighbors, and friendly faces. After, we will head back home for some play time and breakfast if this is time for your dog to eat. After this, it should be time for your dog to take a little rest. After rest time we will take another potty break and perhaps a park visit if your dog enjoys social time and the park is calm. We can visit a dog friendly space to meet a friendly pup or two. I will always ensure your dogs stay safe and happy! Then we will take a short walk back home winding down the energy with a light pace and calm behaviors. Time for dinner! After dinner, more cuddle, and calm time. The day will end with some quiet, cuddling or quiet lounging, perfect for bringing the day to a peaceful close.

Jennifer was a wonderful care taker for our dog. She was patient and kind. Kept us updated on a longer stay. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you.

Jennifer and her son took very good care of our puppies. Communication was smooth and constant. They are understating of time and we're very flexible. I strongly recommend them.

Jennifer is a very caring,loving and conscience person. She loves animals and it shows when she watches your pet. I have used Jennifer on several occasions and will again. I feel very comfortable when my dog is at her house.
