Information Jennifer M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to make sure I know if they have a schedule, any information about what they don't like or aren't tolerant of. I also need to know if there are any allergies or medications to administer. All of your household rules apply in my home!

A typical day

I like to take the dog out for a long walk and allow them to smell everything while teaching them how to walk properly on a leash. Then we would come home, relax together and play, lots of cuddles and love!

When my dog came back from Jennifer’s house, he looked as if he’d never left home! She took such good care of him, and I’m so grateful.

I was super nervous about leaving my dog reactive baby but Jenny made me feel at ease while Queen was with her. She followed my rules and provided the specific communication I requested. I will definitely use Jenny again :)

Jenny has been dog sitting for our large (mutt) and small (multipool) for years now, when we go on vacation. She is responsible and attentive, ensuring that the dogs receive the care and attention they need. Jenny has experience with various breeds and understands their unique needs and behaviors. Her reliable routine provides stability for the dogs and her love for animals' shines through in her interactions with them. Additionally, she communicates effectively with us as pet owners, keeping us up to date and at ease when we are away.
