Your dogs happiness is my priority

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs all my life, I studied preveterinary medicine for a while at Nicholls State University with ambitions to be a veterinarian. While I no longer pursue a veterinary career, I am currently employed full time as a kennel assistant at Metairie Small Animal Hospital. I have experience walking dogs professionally as well as personally. I’m capable of handling extremely large dogs as well as smaller dogs. At work, I am the go-to person when they have a dog that is a little harder to manage. I’m experienced in administering pills, and have experience with diabetic dogs. At the clinic I see dogs of many variations in size and temperaments. While my specialty is dogs, I also have experience handling cats as well. I currently own two dogs, a 12lb Pomeranian and an 85lb shepherd/pitbull mix. I’ve handled 160lb mastiffs and Great Danes who do not walk well on leashes. Working with horses on the side has helped with the strength aspect needed to handle large dogs. I am a massive animal lover. I treat every animal I come across as my own and treat them with respect and care. I tend to find even typical aggressive animals will come around with time and patience. Patience is something I have a lot of! Vomit, urine, and feces do not phase me as they are part of my everyday job. In cases of emergency I’m more than capable of remaining calm and handling the situations with a clear and level head. If an emergency were to arise you will be notified immediately. I’m comfortable giving injections and oral medications and bonding with your dog so they feel comfortable and happy while in my care. My top priority is the care and comfort of the animal! I am also experienced in nail clips, and anal gland expressions on long tailed dogs (any dog without a nubby tail) and if this is a feature you’d like to have done as well, you can inbox me for details, I can also do those separately without walking or sitting your dog as well. Nails will be clipped and rough edges filed down. Length of the nails depends on the length of the quick (the vein that runs in the dogs nail which when clipped can be painful and cause bleeding). I vow to love your pet like I love my own and treat them with the respect a lot of others do not give.

Jennifer was great! She ensured my dog had food/water and let her out to use the restroom. She checked in with me to let me know how things were going and how my dog was doing each day!

I have known Jennifer her entire life and I know that without a doubt that she is the only one to trust with your pet. Jennifer is so loving and compassionate to all animals and strives to make sure animals are well feed and cared for and really takes the time with the pets to learn and understand each pets personalty and needs so they always feel that family is always with them so they never feel alone and afraid. Jenny is the best!!!

Jennifer has been an avid animal lover from as long as I can remember. She does what it takes to keep pets safe. I haven't seen a pet that hasn't loved her. She gives all her attention to the happiness and welfare of all animals. She is always looking out for the best interest of the animal realizing that she is the voice for the animal. I would and have trusted her with my love of my life pets!!

Information Jennifer S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any aggression, what triggers the aggression, any anxiety your dog may have (I will try to work through if I am able) I have no breed preferences as I grow to love any dog I meet. I currently own a Pomeranian and german shepherd pit bull mix but in the past I’ve had golden retriever mixes, terriers, a beagle, I’ve pet sat a husky mix, and catahoula. I’m also good with other animals including cats, birds, reptiles, fish, etc.

A typical day

Your dog will enjoy walks at various parks including, Lafrieniere, City park, Veterans Memorial Park, even trips to the boat launch. Dog Parks will also be an option for dogs that are okay with being around other dogs and people. I’ll provide toys in which your dog can play with, and if allowed, a treat after every session!
