Care that makes a best friend 🐾❤️

I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and truly enjoy getting to know each one’s individual personality. My goal is to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, loved, and—most importantly—happy while you’re away. I’m happy to keep active dogs busy with walks, running, fetch, playtime, and trips to the off-leash dog park when appropriate, while more laid-back pups can expect plenty of belly rubs, attention, and snuggles. I also enjoy working on basic commands and teaching new tricks, so your pup might even have something new to show you when you get home! I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, energy levels, and boundaries, and I make a point of giving each dog individual attention rather than treating every pet the same. I’ll follow your care instructions and do my best to keep their routine familiar and stress-free while you’re away. I know how important it is to feel confident about the person caring for your pets, and I’ll treat your pups with the same patience, affection, and attention I would want for my own. I can’t wait to meet them!

Jennifer was absolutely FANTASTIC. My little Dimitri is afraid of everything and everyone. He never comes out of his carrier when we take him places. But when he was with Jennifer he actually came out of his carrier and went exploring. He wasn’t completely frazzled when I came and picked him up. Her animals were sweet and gentle. Jennifer herself was very kind. I am pleased at how nice she was and how comfortable my cute little Dimitri kitty was. I’m definitely looking forward to working with her again.

Our dog had a great very with Jennifer. She was very warm to both our pup and us, and assured us that he would be well taken care of. We met her pets (1 dog, 2 cats) before we booked and felt comfortable that our boy was in good hands. Jen was great about communicating every day we were gone. Our dog clearly had a good time and came back to us healthy and happy.

Jennifer is very intelligent and a kind loving person when it comes to animals ,especially dogs. I have personally seen her interact with many different breeds and i must say she was awesome with every single one of them. I personally would never think twice on leaving my dog in her hands!

Caring for pets is already a big part of my everyday life. I love spending my free time walking, playing, cuddling, and just hanging out with them.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very easygoing, calm, and attentive, and your pet’s care and comfort are always my top priority. Potty breaks are one of the first things I take care of, and love, playtime, and attention are never in short supply! I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, whether they’re in my home or their own. My goal is to become a familiar, trusted friend that your pet is genuinely excited to see again!

Pets

A typical day

Every dog is different, so I like to plan our time around what makes your dog happiest! For active dogs, that might mean outdoor walks, fetch, games, or plenty of playtime to burn off some energy. For dogs who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy giving belly rubs, cuddling, or relaxing together. I also love working on tricks and training through play, especially with energetic or curious dogs who enjoy learning. I’m good at reading a dog’s energy and personality and adjusting our activities accordingly. Whether your pup wants to play until they’re tired or cuddle until they fall asleep, they’ll get plenty of attention and quality time with me!

I don’t have any breed preferences and am happy to care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also have experience administering medications when needed. Before caring for your dog, I’d mainly like to know about their overall health, normal routine, personality, and any medications, allergies, behaviors, or special needs I should be aware of. I want to know the little things that help me keep your dog safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care.
