Safety, trust & environment

Your animal’s care is my top priority. I am well versed in watching dogs body language and social cues. I ensure everyone is safe by feeding everyone separately, including my own dogs. Many fur-babies enjoy visiting our home, playing with toys, enjoying treats ( allergy friendly of course) visiting and playing with our dogs and cats, running around our fenced yard, receiving all the pets/scratches/belly rubs, and all of the love and snuggles to make them feel at home. I have experience administering meds, dealing with allergies ( my lab mix is allergic to the world and has to be fed ONLY her prescription food), puppy play and potty training, very active younger dogs, as well as older dogs who may need a little more care or help throughout their stay. I am very patient with anxious, nervous, and shy dogs. I work with your pet when they are anxious whether it’s sitting in a quiet room one on one to ensure they eat, providing their own space when needed, or working on building trust with me in general. I am not a professional trainer, but I have a lot of experience working with a lot of different situations.

Information Jennifer W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is not potty trained, in heat, or has any special needs. I try my best to accommodate to most situations.

A typical day

We have a dog room with kennels, a tv for the dogs to watch/listen to, clean dog beds to choose from, multiple toys to play with, fresh water dishes, and a window for lighting when and if they need to be kenneled. We have a decent sized fenced yard and home for them to run around and get some energy out. We provide dog bowls, usually kennels ( let me know if you have one you prefer to use), lots of toys and allergy friendly bones. Some days are spent resting, some running around, or some keeping me company while I’m making dog collars in the office space /dog room!

Fun,loving, dog sitter

Pet care experience

Your fur-baby/babies will receive my one on one care throughout their stay. Summertime is a very busy time for dog sitting, so I may have more than one family at a time, but typically I try to book one family at a time. If you prefer just your family’s fur baby to be watched during their stay, please let me know and I will work with you or let you know if I have another family booked during your requested time/times. I have over 20 years of experience with many different dogs, all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have many years experience fostering and rescuing dogs. I have experience giving medication to many different dogs, (even the stubborn ones) working on potty training with puppies and adult dogs, as well as crate training.

She took such great care of our pups and treated them like her own. We got lots of updates, and they were so happy and relaxed when we picked them up. Super reliable, kind, and easy to work with. We’ll definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️

Jennifer was amazing! She was incredible with boarding our dog Stella. Stella had some jitters at the beginning, but Jennifer was great about giving her individual attention, which allowed her to be at home in Jennifer's house. I would definitely book with her again!

We had an awesome experience with Jennifer watching our pug while we were on vacation. She sent daily updates and pictures that put my mind totally at ease. It was clear he was well cared for in her home, and she made him part of their family for the week. That was exactly what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend her, and I will be using her again in the future.

Very responsive and communicative. Wonderful family to leave our fur friend with for a weekend on short notice.
