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!

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!"
