All Creatures Great and Small

I will treat your pups as I would my own pupper, with the love and attention that they deserve. I will make sure your fur babies are comfortable and well cared for. I am an advocate in the nonprofit realm by day, but find that my true passion is as an advocate of all creatures, great and small. I have been an animal lover for as long as I can remember; when I was younger I volunteered at a vet clinic caring for animals who were being boarded or receiving medical treatment. I have cared for my own pet like a child, as pet lovers often do. I am a devoted dog mom to my 6 year old pup Luci, a toy fox terrier and Chihuahua mix. She has interacted with all the dogs in my care, and while she is "barky" toward them at first, she settles soon enough and gets along well with them. I do have a portable playpen i can put her in if necessary until she acclimates to the environment. I would treat your fur-child with the love, compassion, kindness and respect that all animals deserve. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I would be happy to answer them. I look forward to hearing from you.

Jennifer did a great job watching Kiwi! She was flexible with pick up and drop off times and very responsive in providing updates and photos. Kiwi had a great time and I hope to use her when I’m away on trips in the future!
