Availability

I work locally & have recent changes in my schedule which gives me more availability. I also have my own precious furbabies at home, so it's not a new task. I would manage the same way I do for my own. So let me know what you need & I will get you on my calendar! And Thank you for inquiring with me. And much thanks to my current Regulars & for all the wonderful comments & reviews! I appreciate you all so much & I'm always here, so book early, as I only keep a few babies at a time, for adequate, attentive care!

Information Jennifer L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your baby has any special needs, behaviors to watch for or monitor, likes/dislikes, any special preferences from you or the baby. Also let me know of any allergies or problems with any certain foods, treats or anything else you may can think of that I would need to know to make the experience great for the baby & let the mom/dad at ease with your baby in my care.

A typical day

Depending on your preferences & furbaby's needs, they can play with toys & ropes, run in the backyard, get bellyrubs, naps & treats! ***First time clients, lets set up a quick meet & greet prior to your baby's stay and care. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby and you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first care day. ***ALSO: Please understand, furkids, just like humans have individual personalities & will act differently away from parents, especially at a new place. This is why I take extra time in letting Them go at their own pace getting to know one another, especially when it's peak seasons & I many have multiple family furbabies. Some may be more reserved, show aggression, not be as hungry, more hungry, mark/urinate, chew on things- all of which they would never normally do. I have been doing this many years & so I watch & monitor, anticipating to see if they show signs of this. There will be occasional accidents your baby my urinate on themselves or bed. I try to clean them, beding, toys, rugs, anything involved. I'm explaining the "not so cute side" of boarding that many don't address bc i am an honest person. I will wash beds, covers, whatever I find, wjen I do find something that someone may have done & wipe them down with pet wipes if/when needed, or if their toy, leash, bed, whatever gets chewed unexpectedly i will do my best to take care of that, but I'm making it known, they can & will act differently away from you. (See photo section for info on multiples boarding) Thank you & it's a pleasure to host your baby, for a vacation stay away from home! 😊 *One more thing- if you are dressed up & I've only seen you once & you look differently, I may look at you a minute to ensure nobody picks up a baby that's not theirs- you may be surprised what ppl can try to pull. I'm all about SAFETY & Your BABY'S CARE. 🥰🐶❤️

🐕Furbabies are my Passion!🐕‍🦺

Pet care experience

Hi furbaby parents! 🐕❤️ I know having to get sitter service, drop-in's or walks scheduled for your baby can be stressful nowadays. It's also hard to know who is the best fit, until you try. Life can be busy & demanding at times, & I understand the importance of finding the right one who will take great care of your baby. 🐶♥️ Being raised in the country with several furbabies, of various sizes with my grandma who was also an absolute furbaby-lover! So it just comes natural to me. Bc to me, they are our babies, our children & I have 30+ years experience of caring for them. Like us, they each have their own likes, dislikes, quirks & personalities. I have furkids myself & my house is setup for them- I just do the feeding, loving, treating, playing, replenish supplies & cleaning!🐶🥰 I have furbaby beds in several rooms, gates between doorways so in case someone wants to be alone, I can accommodate, or if your baby needs time to warm up to a new place, thats another reason to have gates, for them to meet & greet at their own pace. I just don't like the idea of having to stay in kennels, like at the vet! I have a whole playroom for furbaby friends with plenty of toys, beds & a fenced in backyard for supervised potty & play! My babies love everyone, but I know not everyone else's pups love the same things. I do understand how important the care for your baby is! Its important for them all feel safe & comfortable. I have kennels if needed, which we rarely use, with a spare room if needed. So if one wants to nap quietly & another wants to run & play, its no problem at all. *I can do boarding in my home, sitter service, stop by for drop-in visit & feed/water, potty & play, or stop by & take them for a walk. I can stop by for kitty care, but cant board Ms/Mr Kitty at my house, sorry. *Ater hours pickup/drop off is no problem. My furkids are neutered/ spayed, fully vaccinated & get monthly heartworm/hookwork flea/tick prevention 💊 Prevention & good health is very important to me, as I would hope yours is taken care of also. They love to play, & get along great with other furbabies! Your baby is in good hands here, & will have plenty of playtime & treats; OR if we just want to nap, we love that too! 😊 ✨️Message me & let me know what days/times you need. Lots of love to go around here. As mentioned, after hours is no problem for me, just let me know the Correct Dates/Times.🥰 ***FIRST TIME CLIENTS: Safety for all in important. Let's set up a quick meet & greet Prior to your baby's stay/care- especially for those "last minute needs"- emergencies happen. That way, I can get better acquainted with your baby & you, and so your baby isn't meeting me as a stranger on our first day of stay. **We will meet in a Public/Safe place. Thanks & hope to see you & your babies soon! 🥰UPDATE: Rover makes 20% of all earnings, I offer discounted or locked in rates for my Repeat clients or Regulars; I even do some private pay clients. I take care of furkids a little more "extra" than many furparents, I've been told! But to me that's a compliment! Bc being furbaby lover, I believe in real loving care, not just meeting basic needs. 🐕 🐈 🦮 🐈‍⬛️ **[PLEASE READ ALL- Including note under "A Typical Day".] Thanks!🐶❤️

Jennifer was great! I just moved to the area and was in need of a dog sitter for a few days. She was responsive, provided regular updates and gave them a lot of love. I plan to use her again in the future. Thank you again!!
