Will Treat Your Dog Like My Own!
Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Jenn and I have owned dogs for most of my life and have dog sat for several families. Often described as bubbly, I have also taken care of children for more than 20 families over a 15 year span. I have always loved animals and children and enjoy any time I get to spend with them. I believe they are the best judges of character. I live in a townhouse in a great suburban Frederick, MD neighborhood with my husband, our 3 year old daughter and 6 month old son. I am fortunate to be working from home these days, which allows me to spend all day with the pups in my care, letting them out constantly and giving them lots of TLC! Their safety, health and happiness are my top priorities, which is why I only accept one family of Rover dogs at a time. We currently don't have any pets of our own and I miss having a dog around, so I really enjoy getting to host a variety of pups in our home! About this sitter: Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover my whole life. My parents owned a Chihuahua named George when I was born. I'm the reason we took in a stray Shepherd mix we named Brownie when I was 8. I went on to become a nanny and dog-sat a beagle named Bailey for one of my families. That's all it took for us to fall in love with Beagles and soon we had two of our own, Elvis and Chloe. My little "Chlo-Bear" passed away in 2013 and Elvis currently resides with my parents in Gaithersburg. About my yard We have a fenced in backyard that I included a photo of. We have a deck and a shed so there's not a huge amount of grass, but certainly enough to get the job done. The walks will give them plenty of space to do their business also! My experience administering medication I have given animals oral medication in both liquid and pill form.
Reviews
Jennifer was wonderful with our senior dog and very gracious about a last-minute booking when our plans changed! She sent daily pictures and updates and he seemed to love being at her house. Would definitely recommend her!
This was a great experience from the meet and greet, throughout the stay, and through final pickup. We feel like our pup was well taken care of and the communication was great.
Jennifer was amazing watching Ava! I’ve never used Rover or left Ava with anyone new for so long and she was so reassuring and helpful. I got daily pictures and Ava was adored at her house. Will definitely use her again!
Great as always. This is our 3rd time having Jennifer watch the dogs and they are always very happy.

Information Jennifer R. would like to know about your pet
I think my main concern about a dog these days would be how they are around children, as I now have a 20 month old daughter. I would also like to know if they have any health issues, if they are house trained and just their overall habits...likes to chew on everything, etc, so I can be prepared! I love dogs of all sizes, but some of my favorite breeds are: Beagles, Dachshunds, Chihuahuas, Jack Russell's, Labs, Boston Terriers, Bulldogs, Golden's, and Puggles.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I like to take 30-40 min walks through our residential neighborhood that includes a nearby park. On warm days, we always walk earlier in the morning or later in the evening to avoid being out in the hottest temperatures. Pups already have that warm fur coat, they don't need the sun making them hotter! Your dog's sleeping arrangement If you don't have a dog bed, crate, or blanket for them, we can lay a soft blanket down on our main floor or upstairs where the bedrooms are, both of which are carpeted. Our basement has a hardwood floor if your dog prefers a cooler surface. We've also had several dogs climb into bed with us, and we are happy to have them there if that's where they are comfortable! Time I'll spend with your dog I currently work from home, so I'm happy to have all day to spend with your dog(s), giving them extra TLC and around the clock care!
