Pet care experience

Seasoned dog lover here to help!

I have 20 years of experience caring for young and old, big and small dogs! I have volunteered at The Almost Home Foundation, walking dogs throughout all seasons, and I volunteer at Young at Heart Senior Pet Shelter caring for senior pups. I have plenty of experience administering medication, brushing, bathing, and creating homemade dog food with love. I currently have a high energy Vizsla, and have had 2 senior pups. I work best with non-aggressive dogs. I don't mind high energy and excitement as I am very used to that. I can't wait to meet your perfect pup!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have a 7 year old Vizsla who needs plenty of exercise and attention. Her days consist of walks, and tons of backyard sprinting! She gets a lot of homemade food and is a great snuggler. I recently lost a 14 year old senior who was more laid back and enjoyed outdoor sunshine and sniffs, she also was very spoiled with special meals. I can adapt to almost any pup personality and provide what they need! Whether that is some alone time and space or tons of hugs and kisses.

Drop-In Visits • Sep 21, 2026

Jenny was great. She is a natural pup magnet! Everything was locked up and all instructions were followed and took the time to put her diaper back to ensure no accidents. She was so compassionate with my dog and even took the time to hand feed her cause she was anxious about me not being there. She sent a pic of my pup sleeping before she left. Love Jenny and will definitely trust her again to watch my pup anytime!!

Jenny is a very empathetic and loving pet caregiver. She has a natural motherly instinct and gives everything she can into making the pets that she cares for feel loved. She always makes sure their needs are met and does it with a smile. You won’t go wrong hiring Jen to care for your furry family member.

How trained is your pup? Do they have any special needs or allergies? Do they like anything specific in terms of their routine that I can help with?
