Reviews
Jen has been doing a great job walking my high energy heeler! She is prompt, communicative, and provided my dog some extra puzzle toys during her visit. Thanks, Jen!
Jen is impressively reliable, and has quickly become our dog Ollie’s BFF. In addition to much-needed exercise, Ollie also plays games and gets some training practice from Jen during their daily time together. We’d highly recommend Jen for a dependable and caring pet care provider!
Jennifer is great with my puppies. She is very knowledgeable and good with communication.
Jennifer is a fantastic resource for dog owners. She’s professional and very educated on handling dogs. We have a large (75 lb) dog and she handles him just fine. She not only takes him for a walk but incorporates training good manners as well. Jennifer also is on top of the communication and has been flexible for us if something comes up. Highly recommend Jennifer’s service!
About Jennifer W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I require a Meet & Greet before any services so we can get to know each other and ensure we are a good fit. Safety is my top priority! I love tailoring each walk for each dog's likes and needs. I have a reactive dog so I can relate to any pooch who may need that extra care. For home visits, I can bring my hoard of toys & puzzles to physically exercise & mentally enrich your pup.
Information Jennifer W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any medical needs including but not limited to: allergies, medical conditions, medications, physical limitations; and/or behavioral concerns: any fears, resource guarding, etc. I'd love to know what your favorite thing about your dog is!
A typical day
Walks will mostly be around your local neighborhood. I can potentially bring your pooch on explorational visits to parks or trails. If your dog loves toys, we can play tug or fetch. I reinforce basic cues and manners. Drop-in visits will consist of a short potty, followed by play, training, or lots of attention and love.
