Pet care experience

I have cared for and loved animals my entire life. I was always “that kid” bringing whatever critter I could get my hands on home with me to love and care for. I have worked in pet stores, worked with livestock and other farm animals, I have volunteered at local animal shelters as well as owned a plethora of my own animals since I was a child. I am comfortable caring for a wide variety of animals so please don't hesitate to ask, I’m not one to shy away from a challenge. As a former police officer and a Marine veteran, I am honest, reliable and take pride in everything I do. I value punctuality and open communication in my business so you can expect nothing but the best from me. While caring for your pets in my home, my goal is to fully integrate them into my family for however long they are here so they are happy and comfortable like they would be in their own home. We are very laid back here and just go with the day to day flow of things. I do AM and PM feedings and separate everyone so they can comfortably enjoy their meal times. I also have cameras so that when I am away from home I can still keep an eye on the pups. Most of the time my husband is home with them as well, I do my best to ensure they are not alone for too long. While I’m caring for pets in your home I strive to keep them happy and comfortable without disrupting their day to day routine as much as possible, with that being said there is no such thing as too much information. Please let me know anything you think would make my caring for your pet as stress-free as possible. While I will certainly treat your animals as if they were my own, the safety and well being of my pets comes first. So if your pets are not okay with other animals our home will not be a good fit for you and your pet (No super high energy dogs or dogs with high prey drive). I’m not intimidated by any breeds and I have extensive experience with corgis and German shepherds. I do not have breed preferences but I do however prefer well-behaved dogs. I do not host extremely high-energy or destructive dogs. ​***DISCLAIMER***: for services in my home my husband may also be involved in the care of your animals.

Nala always has an absolute blast when she stays with Jennifer and fam. She has her very own mini vacation as we’re away. Jennifer sends constant updates with videos and pictures which warms our hearts. Nala has stayed with them a few times and loves it there!! 🐾🦮

Jennifer was the best this past weekend. The pups stayed with her for 5 nights, and sent tons of pictures and videos. It seemed like everyone got along well. I’ve had the dogs back home since yesterday and they’ve done nothing but lay around from exhaustion from a great weekend. I would highly recommend her to anyone!!!

I am a stay at home dog mom so your dog will not be left alone for too long (appointments/errands on occasion). All the dogs we’ve hosted settle into our daily routine as if they were our own. Dogs are let out immediately upon waking and sometimes we go back to bed. Then everyone is fed (separately) and we relax for a bit until it’s time to go back out and play. We spend a majority of the time in the yard or playing in the house. It’s a very relaxed environment.
