Working from home allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day—not just during breaks or after hours. I structure my workday around their needs, which means: 🐾 Morning Routine: We start the day with a walk or some playtime to burn off energy and set a calm tone. Midday Breaks: I take regular breaks to give them attention, bathroom breaks, or just some cuddle time—great for both of us! 🍽️ Meal & Medication Schedules: I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and on track. 🐶 Supervised Play & Rest: Whether they’re playing in a safe, fenced yard or napping nearby while I work, I’m always close by to supervise and ensure they’re happy and relaxed. 📸 Daily Updates: I take a few minutes each day to send you pictures or notes so you know how your pet’s doing. Because I’m home all day, your dog is never left alone for long—and that peace of mind is something I take pride in offering.

Pet care experience

What Sets Me Apart from Other Sitters? I treat every dog like they’re part of my family—because while you're away, they are. With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments, I specialize in providing personalized care that fits your dog’s unique needs. 🐶 Puppy Pro? Absolutely. I'm skilled in helping puppies stick to potty-training routines, basic commands, and gentle socialization. 🦴 Senior Dog Savvy. I have experience with senior pups who need a slower pace, medication management, mobility support, and lots of patient love. 🛏️ Stress-Free Environment. My home is calm, clean, and kennel-free (unless otherwise requested), with plenty of space for play, rest, and snuggles. 🏃‍♂️ Active & Engaging. Whether it’s daily walks, fetch in the yard, or mentally stimulating games, I keep your pup engaged and happy. 💬 Clear Communication. I send regular updates with photos, so you never feel far from your furry friend.

Our first in-home daycare experience went really well thanks to Jen. She genuinely cares about your pup and offers them plenty of attention and support, and she communicates well with pup parents throughout the day. Her home is set up for safe and secure play and learning, and our Stella had a great time making new pup friends. Thank you Jen!

Benny had a great time at camp. We were well informed as to how Benny was doing each day. Jen sent a lot of pictures each day of Benny.
