Pet care experience

I Will Poop Your Pooch Out!!🐾🐆🐕

Hello! I am a vet tech that just recently relocated to Lakeland Florida.I have worked in the animal field for over 20 yrs and have a passion for all animals. I have worked both emergency critical care and day practice. I also have experience with domestic, wildlife and exotic rehabilitation. I am an asset if you have a pet with medical requirements as I can administer medications if needed. I am currently owned by 2 dogs. Harvest is 4yrs old and Gypsy Rose is 3. Both are adopted pets that i have had since they were both about 4 wks old. I have a fondness for special needs animals and have previously owned deaf dogs and a blind cat. I am also fine with taking care of aggressive breeds and have experience with them as well. No pet is too big or too small for me. Upon relocating back to Florida I have acquired a very large kennel that can accomodate many pets with several fenced in yards for them to run around in. I live and work here with all animals 24hrs a day so your pet is never left alone.

Jennifer took such great care of our dog Skilyn! She was very communicative, sent regular updates, and made sure Skilyn felt safe and comfortable. We truly appreciate Jennifer’s kindness and attention, and we would absolutely trust her again in the future

Very clean area and a wonderful big yard for my pup to run. She was very sweet with my timid boy and sent pictures of him looking so happy. Thank you for loving on our sweet boy Ror.

We had such an amazing experience with Jen! Our dog, Cash, stayed for a week. Throughout the week, we got text updates and pictures from Jen and that meant so much to us! Our dog came back home exhausted from playing so much, but also with a big smile on his face. Definitely recommend and trust Jen with your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large kennel building which is equipped with heat and air conditioning. Your pet can have access to both inside and out in their own run with fresh water at all times. I also have 3 large fenced in areas with locked gates for the dogs to run around in . I make sure every dog gets at least 2 play times daily in one of the large yards. I will also make sure your pet gets as many potty breaks as needed. I will treat and care for your pet like my own.

Pets

A typical day

Does your dog like to play catch?? If so I will happily play fetch with them. I am able to provide typical activities that you provide for your pet at home. It can be anything from sitting and watching tv with me or going on walks. You tell me what your pet likes and I will be happy to do it with them.

I have no breed preference. I love big dogs. I would just like to know in advance how pet friendly and social your pet is and if it has medical requirements or special needs that need accommodating. I also ask that you bring your own pets food labeled with their names, amount of food for each meal and their feeding schedule so I can keep them on their own diets and schedules. Treats, small bedding and a small familiar toy or item from home is also welcomed as long as they are labeled with you pets name. Please do not bring Large pet beds or Large bags of food. Accidents can happen and bedding can get soiled which means I will need to was h it in my machine and unfortunately I am unable to wash Larger Dog beds.
