Pet care experience

Just like home

As an avid animal lover it is my duty to make sure all dogs in my care are treated as part of the family. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life and know how stressful it can be to leave them with a stranger. I take great pride and joy in caring for others. I am a mom to my sweet daughter who absolutely loves having furry companions to run around with. I provide daily walks, leads, and a fenced in area for outside play. Toys, treats, water/food bowls and tons of TLC. Inside, my home is their home. I treat all my furry guests as they would be treated by you! Is your dog use to sleeping in your bed? Not a problem, I love snuggles! Don't let your dog on the furniture? Not a problem, I will be sure to enforce any rules you have set as to not confuse them once they arrive back home. I have a wonderful cat named Peanut. Who stays to herself for the most part. I do ask that your dog is friendly or non-reactive to cats. I want everyone's stay to be as pleasant as possible for all parties involved. I look forward to meeting you and your pup :) I’ve also created an Instagram page if you would like to see more pictures and follow your pups stay at Justlikehome_ct

Jennifer~I wanted to leave more stars than 5!! She was a fantastic “parents are on vacay” substitute…she quickly learned my pups personalities and routine and stuck w/it! I received daily pics/vids/updates about our precious pups,therefore making our trip more relaxing&enjoyable! For wonderful care and peace of mind, I highly recommend Jennifer! Will definitely use her and her doggie charm again❤️

Jennifer was the absolute best, so kind and loving. Ollie was so comfortable and he has found a second home away from home.

I can't say enough great things about our experiences with Jennifer. I've left my dog Peachy with her 3 times now, this last time being over a week. I got so many picture and video updates throughout and I could see how comfortable and happy my Peachy was. Jennifer and her daughter are so wonderful with her and I am very grateful to have found them. The peace of mind I have now while I'm away that my dog is well cared for is worth so much. Also, Jennifer was highly communicative and very flexible when my schedule needed to change last minute. I won't leave Peachy with anyone else now!!

Jennifer had us come by for a meet and greet prior to our pup’s stay. Our Reggie boy was safe, warm, comfortable and cared for - you can’t ask for much more than that. We’ll certainly be calling on Jennifer’s service in the future. I’d highly recommend!!
