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

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!!

Jennifer did a great job of taking care of my girls while I was out of town. She was there at the times I requested, sent updates on how they were doing and sent pictures which was great! I’d never left them with someone new before so it definitely put my mind a little more at ease.

Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet

Prefer neutered/spayed for general pack harmony.

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
