Dog Runner & Caregiver
I'm Jenn, a lifelong dog lover, experienced dog runner, and specializing in canine fitness and care for dogs of all personalities, ages, and energy levels. As a lifelong runner with 28 years of running experience, I understand the importance of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and a healthy routine. Whether your dog needs a structured run to burn off that rocket-fueled energy, a leisurely mosey around the neighborhood, or a comfortable overnight stay, I tailor every visit to their individual needs. I own a Blue Heeler and a Heeler/Husky mix, so I'm very familiar with intelligent, strong, high-energy breeds. I also have experience with senior dogs, rescue dogs, and pups who need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is simple: happy, healthy, well-exercised dogs who feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I'm dependable, punctual, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is in good hands. And yes, I believe a tired dog is a happy dog. Your couch cushions will probably agree. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my priorities. As an insured professional dog runner, I plan walks and runs around your dog's fitness level, personality, and the weather. I favor familiar, shaded routes and remain attentive to surroundings, hydration, and your dog's comfort. Whether caring for your dog in your home or welcoming them into my routine, I provide dependable, attentive care, clear communication, and regular updates so you can feel confident while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Jennifer is an exceptional dog walker who takes wonderful care of my buddy, Rosendo. He absolutely looks forward to his daily walks, runs, and playdates with her. Jennifer is not only caring and reliable, but also an excellent communicator—she always keeps us updated and informed. We’re so grateful to have her!
Jennifer, you are an absolute lifesaver! Our dog, Ashley, clearly had the most wonderful time with you. From your prompt communication and detailed updates (the photos were amazing!), to the genuine care and attention you gave Ashley, we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. We truly appreciated your willingness to accommodate her quirky eating schedule or how you kept us informed during that brief thunderstorm. It's clear you're not just a sitter, but a true dog lover. We came home to a happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved pup. Thank you so much for giving us such peace of mind while we were away. We'll definitely be rebooking!
Jennifer is super trustworthy! Very professional, on time and organized. Plus she truly loves Dogs! I highly recommend her and know you won’t be disappointed :)
Jennifer was so fantastic! Our dog adored her and is completely exhausted from all their walking and playing. She went above and beyond what we requested. And she really, really cares about dogs. We had forgotten the sidewalks in Texas could get beastly this early in the summer and forgot his booties, but we needn’t have worried—Super Jen picked Willy up and carried him home! She is truly fantastic. We have had TONS of dogsitters over the years, many of them through Rover, and Jennifer is our absolute favorite (and Willy’s, too!)
Jennifer is an animal lover. Dogs are her passion. She has taken care of my cats in the past and did a great job. I have seen her take care of her friend's dogs as well. She will even try to take in strays and re-home them to a forever home. Although I am not currently a pet owner, when I become one again in the future, I would not hesitate asking Jennifer to take care of my pets.
Jennifer has been watching and loving on my dog, Pepe, for about a year. She always has treats and uses the best puppy voice to communicate with him (it makes him feel special.) Now that my dog is aging and needing more breaks, medication, attention (and of course, treats) Jennifer stops by whenever I need her to. It gives me a great peace of mind knowing that he is being looked after so well. She has also helped care for my stray cats that I have been feeding when I am out of town, coming by at least twice a day to feed them and make sure they have fresh, clean water. She even took all the bowls to her home and washed them! I would highly recommend Jennifer to help look after your babies!

Schedule
I work from home managing my businesses, which gives me a flexible schedule for dog runs, drop-in visits, and overnight care. My own dog, Nellie, is part of my daily running routine, so I understand how important consistency, exercise, and companionship are. I can accommodate different routines and provide attentive care tailored to your dog's needs.
