Who'll Let The Dogs Out

Pet care experience

I will take multiple dogs from the same family but will not have dogs from different families at the same time unless I know the dogs will get along first and that both owners are in agreement. Your dog will have all my love and attention during it's stay with me!! And if they work well with other dogs they will go with me for walks with other clients dogs and will get lots of interaction and play. I would ask that if at all possible to take your dog for a long walk just before dropping off with me for boarding and if you are bringing your dog to meet another dog to board with. This will have your dog in a calm relaxed state and will help with them being less anxious about meeting another dog or for your departure. I will also walk your dog on leash after you have left to introduce myself and establish expectations. And if you're leaving your dog for an extended stay a bath prior to arriving is always appreciated. Thank you Hi there, I have lived in Parkdale for 10 years and love the area and river paths. I am an Mom and a Grandma, I am responsible and have a very strong work ethic. My first job at age 9 was walking, feeding and cleaning up after 23 dobermans and shepherds and I did that for 3 years. I've also worked in pet stores and as a dog groomer for 3 years and with Arabian show horses and had my own horses. I have been a dog owner since I was a kid and have been boarding and walking for a few years but not using the Rover app. As much as I love them i'm allergic to cats. I can certainly be around them long enough to pick up your dog for a walk but can not house sit in a home with cats. I have experience and common sense and I'd love to hang out with your doggos and pets. I will make sure that your dog gets the stimulation, interaction and exercise it needs. I am looking to walk dogs in the areas around the Parkdale area in the inner-city NW. I have 3 Airbnb listings in my home that I have 5 star ratings for and this also allows for extra love and pets from my guests. I miss having a dog and would love to add that joy back into my day by hanging with yours. As I am working for myself, I have quite a bit of time during the day to spend with your dogs. And although there is no space to add it in the App I can also provide a training walk with you and your dog. I believe that how a walk is done is extremely important for the emotional well being of your dog and most anxiety and behavioural issues will be solved with a proper walk. Areas I service for walks: NW: Hillhurst, Parkdale, West Hillhurst, Montgomery, Bowness, St. Andrew's Heights, University District & Heights.

We have a very elderly dog and felt immediately comfortable with Jennifer to take care of him and give him a comfortable stay. She’s very knowledgeable and has a natural instinct with how to approach the senior dogs who require a little extra love and attention. Thanks for the stay Jennifer!

I would 110% recommend Jennifer. She’s been so helpful with Chaco and always communicates with his needs etc. she helped us out when we needed her in a pinch! I always hate giving honest reviews because selfishly it means she might not be available me for our dog.

Our sweet old boy spent the day with Jennifer and we couldn’t have been happier. It was a relief to know he was in such good hands and given lots of patient love. Thanks again Jennifer!

I have a fenced yard and live a block from the river path and Airbnb guests that stay with me so there are lots of options to get pets for your doggo. If your dog is crate trained please bring the crate. I am with them almost 24/7 but of course do need to leave the house occasionally without them and would like to be confident my sofa and doors won't be eaten and my carpets will be clean while I'm gone. :)

Information Jennifer K. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any health concerns and is there any medications to be administered. Are there any behavior concerns. Are they fearful, aggressive towards dogs or people or are they destructive when left alone or can they be crated? If your dog is crate trained please bring the crate. I am with them almost 24/7 but of course do need to leave the house occasionally without them and would like to be confident my sofa and doors won't be eaten and my carpets will be clean while I'm gone. :) Do you have a large dog that pulls or is dog aggressive? (Sadly, due to a degenerative vertebrae in my lower back I can no longer take the larger breeds with this issue) I don't have any breed preferences I enjoy them all. What is your dogs feeding schedule and amounts.

A typical day

Depending on your dog and how socialized it is. I can take them on a leashed walk or a walk to a dog park, fenced or unfenced. I would start out on leash regardless in order to bond with your dog and then to a fenced off leash and potentially a larger unfenced area with other dogs. When boarding or when with me for doggy day care i'm with your dogs pretty much 24/7. Lots of cuddles and pets, play and walks and potentially engagement with other clients on walks if behaviour allows.
