Information Jennifer R. would like to know about your pet

They must get along with other dogs. We do a consultation at my home to see how the dog does in this environment. Have they ever hurt a cat? My cats have access to get away from house guest dogs, but if a dog has wounded a cat, they may not be a good fit here. Are they food aggressive and need to eat separately? Are they toy or treat aggressive?

A typical day

We all play in my large half yard fenced in yard. Play fetch in the yard as well as play with other dogs inside and outside. Dogs are not left unattended outside.

Jennifer was fantastic with our three dogs—Axel, Yannis, and Jaxson. She maintained great communication throughout their stay, sending multiple videos each day that gave us peace of mind and let us see how happy they were. Her large backyard was a huge plus, giving the dogs plenty of space to run, play, and burn off energy. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her with our dogs again.

Thank you for watching my 2 year old GSD and 6 year old Goldendoodle babies for 20 days. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my babies were being well taken care of and sharing the videos of them having fun every day. Also, appreciate you being in WhatsApp and chatting as needed. Best part was that my dogs came home healthy with being spoiled with home cooked food, thanks for that too.. I am so glad to have found you that I will never go to any dog care centers as long as you can have my babies again.

Jennifer has been watching our yorkie for almost 7 years. She treats him as if he is part of her family and always goes the extra mile to make sure he is comfortable and well taken care of. We love the personal attention he receives and the daily text updates on how he is doing. She regularly sends us photos of how much he is enjoying his vacation, which allows to enjoy ours. This why we have trusted her with our fur baby for years.

Jennifer with Carolina Critter Sitters has been a godsend for us. We’ve used her over the life span of two dogs now - so for years. We wouldn’t trust our pets with anyone else. She is caring and compassionate. She truly has a heart to care for pets in a loving and extraordinary way. She’s easy to work with, and our dog now considers her house a home away from home! He especially loves it when other dogs are visiting and they can chase each other around the huge back yard or slide down the porch slide. We love that Jennifer treats Cody like her own & that he’s so happy and comfortable there. It makes traveling so much easier for us, knowing he’s in great hands.
