I have a small fenced yard but rarely use it as I provide one long walk and three shorter walks throughout the day for our own pup. Our JJ is very sweet and friendly and enjoys having company over. I also have a large crate if your pup prefers the comfort of a crate.

Pet care experience

I work with special needs children and adults and enjoy, appreciate, and respect all animals. My 14 y/o daughter is happily following in my footsteps. My "2nd child", JJ, is such a wonderful, calm and loving Aussie Cattle Dog. We rescued him approximately one year ago and he has been such a wonderful addition to our family. With over 40 years experience caring for all types of dogs, including those with special needs, I am prepared for care for and love your fur-baby like you do!

We had just moved from overseas, and she was very flexible and understanding throughout the process. Kaya can be nervous when meeting someone for the first time, but she was patient, considerate, and respectful of Kaya’s pace. She was understanding of the adjustment process for both Kaya and our family after an overseas move. We truly appreciated her care and would gladly trust her with Kaya again in the near future.

Jennifer once again took great care of my pup. Even when Daisy's care at the last minute became more involved, she didn't hesitate to care for her. I greatly appreciate the peace of mind Jennifer gives me so I can enjoy vacation and not worry about the care of my pup.

Jennifer was an excellent communicator before and during Toby's stay. She sent pics daily and even recommended a toy for him based on his time with her. Toby enjoyed his stay with her and her dog JJ.

Jennifer was fantastic. Our Blu boy was in very good hands with Jennifer. She provided daily updates and pictures. Unfortunately our baby had to be taken to the vet and Jennifer took great care in seeing that he was ok. Our mines were at ease knowing that he was with her, in addition he has a new friend JJ.. We came home to a happy dog. We will definitely be booking again!"
