Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs - I have seniors, so I am used to medications, incontinence, tummy troubles, etc. It comes with the territory.

A typical day

I am here all day making sure everyone goes in and out as needed. We engage in play time, and if a dog needs special 1:1 time, I make sure it happens. We do yard walks, and fun games. I love to train little tricks in order to engage a dog. When we aren't having fun, nap time is on couches or cozy beds.

Camp for your dog!

Pet care experience

I have 30 years of dog experience, especially sighthounds. Back in the day, I couldn't find someone I trusted to look after my dogs when I was on vacation or out of town, and I remember very keenly how I needed someone who would be attentive to their details to look after them. My typical clients are looking for a personalized experience where their dog gets individual attention as well as a variety of playmates. I strive to give your dog an in-home "camp" experience where they have fun and thrive as a member of my household. Please note that I have a senior dog who is 14 and a two-year old lurcher youngster that live here. We sometimes have foster rescues and I have two regular daycare dogs who are both very dog-friendly. My older dog usually ignores visitors, and the youngster and daycare dogs play hosts! I have many years of experience integrating dogs into a pack and it is one of the skills that my clients appreciate. Please note that the Rover calendar is not always accurate, and inquire as to availability. Thank you.

Jennifer is my only go-to for my little guy. He has pretty severe separation anxiety, and over the past year, Jennifer has been amazing with continually working with him to make sure he has a safe place to stay when I need to go out of town. So incredibly grateful to have found her!!!

I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer!! My little guy has massive separation anxiety, and by the end of his week stay with her, he was ready to move in! She's worked with us for a couple of months (with repeat bookings!) to make his visits easier, and I feel truly blessed to have found her. Your babies will be in the best hands!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
