Pet care experience
Will treat your dog like family
I have always loved dogs and I'm very attentive to reading their cues and body language. I can handle all kinds of pups- big, small, shy, energetic- and help them feel relaxed and happy when they are with me. I also enjoy keeping them mentally and physically active with fun walks, playtime and adventures. My own dog and I completed a 6 month puppy training program, and we keep practicing good manners and positive interactions with other dogs every day- whether at home, in the neighborhood, or out on the trails hiking around Salt Lake City. My family and I really enjoy meeting other dog owners and their pups. I'd love to set up a relaxed meet-and-greet to say hi and see if we'd be a good fit for walks or sitting! You can also check out our Facebook page- Dog Mom Hikes- to see what adventures our dogs are having. Please make sure you have time to do a meet and greet with us before the actual booking- we want to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone involved!

Ratings and reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with Darwin! She was so sweet and kind, took him on plenty of walkies, and kept me updated with lots of photos and messages throughout his stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Best of all, Darwin came home happy and relaxed, which says everything. I would happily trust Jennifer with him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter! Can’t thank her enough 🐶
Moose had a blast staying with Jennifer! She was so great at sending updates, and made sure he got plenty of walks/hikes. I will 100% be using her again!!
We’ve left our dog with multiple River sitters and Jennifer has been BY FAR the best! So many pictures, lots of dog walks and yummy treats for my dog. I felt like she was treating my pup just like she would treat her own dog-he was spoiled and loved on the whole time we were gone. We are absolutely going to be repeat customers!
Hazel had a great stay with Jennifer.
Jennifer was great with Moses. I received photos of him on hikes everyday - he was loving it! I knew he was safe & happy our whole trip - didn’t worry about him once in Jennifer’s good hands.
Jennifer was amazing! She spoiled our dog and was great at communicating and sending us updates.

Schedule
I stay at home with my 3 kids, ages 8-14, who go to school and various sports activities during the day, and I have availability for boarding, walks and day care daily. I have a 3.5 year old bernadoodle at home who is super friendly and loves to play with other dogs and be active, so we always making sure we get out to play fetch or go on hikes and walks throughout the week. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and helping them feel welcome in my home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I know that dogs are family and I take the trust that other owners put in me to keep their dogs safe and cared for very seriously. My dog Loki is very friendly and loves to play with friends- we have a fenced in backyard, and I make sure that he and other dogs with us get attention and exercise. There is plenty of water available and there are multiple dog beds throughout the house. I’m all about the details, and will adhere to your leash preferences, as well as feeding, training and night time routines- whatever you and your dog need to feel safe and secure. My kids also love to play and pay attention to dogs - we are a very dog friendly home! We always have a meet and greet with every request to make sure that it is a good fit for everyone involved.
Pets
A typical day
Days at our house include playing with various toys, balls and sniffing puzzles, as well as pets, cuddles and active time outside in our fenced in yard! I have a high energy dog at home so we always go out for one long walk or hike during the day in the mountains or in our neighborhood. We also do mini sniffing walks in the later afternoon and a “night cap” walk right before bed. Some days we will go to a park or field and throw balls or explore.
