Kisses not kennels
Pet care experience
Venmo Jennifer-Shirk-6 4 digits 8125 When I was a kid I wanted a hundred dogs, a hundred cats and one apricot poodle. I never got quite there nor did my giant rescue farm happen, but have always had at least one or more pets my whole life. Our large downtown Indianapolis home has a big fenced yard, friendly teenagers, pet pool and lots of soft beds and sofas . My personal and foster dogs, cats and caged Guinea pigs get along with most. Laid back oldies or high maintenance young at heart puppers, I’ve had it all and enjoy the different personalities that come with any and all. Will crate if preferred but usually the pack just hangs out in yard or by cozy fire. Car rides always an option be it to vet or just for fun (pup cup anyone?) Book now for the ultimate peer camp experience for your pet . You can drop off as early as 6 am and I am available on weekends My geriatric dogs are not particularly playful but will tolerate high spirits. Winter we have a cozy fire and summer a dog pool We do have frequent play breaks but most dogs seems to prefer hanging out and sniffing My husband and I work from home and we have three young adult children, so more than likely they will always be somebody around. We stick to individual feeding schedules as requested We have a large backyard with a 7 ft fence. Apple AirTags on collars "just in case" Free roam in house. Front yard also fenced but we don't usually have dogs up there because of gate activity. We assess the temperament and personalities of all guest and have areas for de-stressing or for littles to keep safe
Reviews
Location was great! Jennifer seemed very routine with how she ran her business. My dog was collected at the front door, with his feeding items. I normally am offered to come inside the house to see how comfortable my dog will be, I was not. I sent messages before boarding my plane back home, and again after getting in the car, but no message of response was sent back to me. Upon pick up, as I walked up to the porch, he's bag of feeding items were sitting out on the porch. Jennifer let's my dog out the door, I had to ask for his harness and leash, she directed me to a box, that I knew nothing of, where his leash was stored on the porch. I feel like Jennifer could have sent over written instructions on pick up and drop off, since yes it was easy, but a little odd to this new customer. My lil energetic guy was very tired after pick up, which is Good, but rare for him. Next time, at least I will know the drill with pick up and drop off.
Nice! 🙂 He enjoyed his walk.
Jennifer took excellent care of our dog Isaac even sleeping with him when he got scared of the thunder! Definitely recommend!
Always love bringing my dog to Jennifer’s. He always has the best time and comes home so sleepy. Never have to worry about him!!

I have a large tall, fenced backyard. I also have areas of the home where dogs can be separated if they need to decompress. I have many crates if that is needed
Home
Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet
Prefer neutered/spayed for general pack harmony. Guests need to not eat cats but feline curious is ok (resident cats can handle rude behavior themselves) We prefer a harness for safety and can loan one from our stash and do not care for choke chains. We provide a temporary guest ID tag while at the hotel. (don’t let us forget to take it off when you leave ?) and certainly respect food preferences
A typical day
Roughhousing, private kiddie pool, napping, fireplace lounging, butt sniffing, barking at squirrels and random strangers, getting on the furniture, naps, snuggles, fetch, toy testing and did I say naps

Availability
My husband and I work from home and we have a adult child so usually somebody is home. I do walk from 11 to 2, but they are close by so I am in and out during that time.
