Active animal lover ready to help!

Pet care experience

I've cared for dogs for over 2 decades and been trusted by Gainesville Pet Rescue to foster their dogs & puppies since March 2018. I have several current clients who I dog sit for regularly. I would be happy to put you in touch with them if you want to check references. I've been studying various behavior training methods for about 2 years. My husband and I have a 4 year old Great Weimar (Great Dane/Weimareiner mix) and a 6 year old terrier mix (foster fail). My professional background is in social work as a case manager for children and teens in the foster care system, and I currently am self-employed in real estate and as such have a very flexible schedule to allow me to care for your pet!

Jennifer has dog sat for my two large shepherd mixes on many occasions. She does a great job with them and they are always happy to see her. Once one of my dogs got sick while I was out of town, and she handled the situation extremely well, while keeping me updated on my dog’s condition. I never worry about my pups when she is taking care of them for me. She also managed to teach the stubborn one to lie down, something I was never able to do.

Jennifer is a very responsible and reliable person and I can honestly say that she is the biggest dog lover I know. In addition to providing a great home to her own Great Weimar puppy named Zafira, she has always been happy to look after neighbors' dogs if they are away from home for an extended period of time. Jennifer has also fostered abandoned dogs from the local shelter many times and goes to great lengths to learn their particular characteristics and needs so that she can take the best care of them and help them develop properly. For example, one foster named Daisy had severe social anxiety. Jennifer took her to the dog park 3 times a day and slowly encouraged her to socialize more and more with other dogs and humans under her careful supervision. Over the course of just a few weeks Daisy's personality changed dramatically until she was one of the most playful dogs at the park both with humans and with other dogs. A few weeks later she was adopted by a loving family, thanks in part to the great care given to her by Jennifer. This is just one of many examples of how much Jennifer truly loves all dogs and will go to great lengths to ensure any dog in her supervision is taken great care of.
