Pups & Pals in Paradise-

Pet care experience

We are a dog loving family of four that would love to be your pet's home away from home. We'll treat him/her like family so you don't have to worry while you are away. We can even give your pet a bath so he/she is all fresh and clean before going home! A little about us: I'm Jennifer and have grown up with dogs my whole life. I owned a pug rescue for several years and fostered both pugs and other small breeds. I'm home during the day so I can give your dog lots of love and attention. My husband, Paul, and our two children, aged 13 and 10) are also animal lovers so your pet will not want for attention. We ask: Your pet must be housebroken (but, we understand accidents happen). Please provide a pet bed, favorite toy, food, and a leash so your pet has some comforts of home. Our children are well behaved around pets and ask your pet be well behaved with them and another dog. If you are interested in boarding your dog with us, please contact us so we can get some details about your pet and your family's needs to make your pet's stay most enjoyable. If you have an emergency and need immediate boarding, please send me a message and I will do everything I can to accommodate you or help find someone who can. We look forward to meeting you and your pet! About this sitter: Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my entire life and have been caring for dogs for nearly 20 years. I had a pug rescue for several years and was the organizer of our local Pug Meetup. I've fostered several small breeds in addition to pugs. I have also boarded a wide variety of dog breeds, bot big and small. About my yard We have a couple of nature paths, bike trails and playgrounds in which to have fun and get some great exercise. I take the dogs for at least two long (about a half- hour) walks a day and outdoor potty breaks as needed. My experience in administering medication I am comfortable administering oral medication or flea/heartworm treatment, including anything that needs to be injected.

I can't say enough good things about Jennifer and how she will take care of your dog. My elderly dog had a seizure while he was staying at Jennifer's. She handled everything correctly to ensure my dogs recovery. From timing the seizure, taking him immediately for emergency care, watching closely overnight, and continuing to check up on him even when I was back home. I know you never want anything like this to happen to your dog, especially when you're not with him, but it was comforting to see how caring and loving she was with my Cody. Thank you, Jennifer (and your whole family) for taking such loving care of my dogs.

Max had a great stay with Jennifer and her family. They are a lovely family, who took good care of him and I picked him up happy and healthy. Can't ask for more!

My dog Matty and I love Jennifer and her family. I am always so comfortable leaving him with her, to the point where I will go to her even when I have friends offering to watch him for free. The peace of mind is invaluable. She has a great house and a wonderful backyard, and I can tell the dogs she looks after are treated just like family, and she's always great about following and respecting care instructions.

Buckeye had a great time with Jennifer! Jennifer was very thorough when we first met and was very interested in getting to know Buckeye and his routines! He came home clean and happy. I would highly recommend her and Buckeye is looking forward to his next visit!

Information Jennifer P. would like to know about your pet

I don't usually take large dogs, but I have a soft spot for golden retrievers. Please feel free to send me a message if you need a host for your golden retriever. Things I would like to know ahead of time: 1. How is your dog's temperament around other dogs and small children? 2. Is your dog house trained? 3. Does your dog have any aggression issues, with either other animals or people? 4. Is this the first time you have boarded your pet? If not, how does he/she usually react to staying with someone else? 5. Is your pet prone to separation anxiety?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We have a couple of great soccer fields, nature paths, bike trails and playgrounds in which to have fun and get some great exercise. I take the dogs for at least two long (about a half- hour) walks a day and outdoor potty breaks as needed. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Our dog sleeps in a crate and it is our preference that your dog does the same. However, I have hosted several dogs that have arrived with a crate and we found we didn't need it. I ask that you provide a crate while your dog stays with us, but if your dog is too uncomfortable, we'll play it by ear and figure out a solution. I have had some dogs that had too much separation anxiety to sleep in a crate for the first couple of days but were able to sleep in one later in their stay. It all depends on the dog. Time I'll spend with your dog I'm home during the day so unless I have errands to run, I'll be with your pet most of the day.
