Treating Your Dogs Like Mine
Pet care experience
I have a wide range of experience with many types of animals. I (and my family) have had dogs for over 15 years. I've fostered about 10 dogs, and volunteered with an animal welfare organization (in South Africa) for 7 years, and with a shelter in Idaho for the two years. I currently have two dogs of my own and know how hard it can be to leave them in the care of others. I will treat your pets like my own- we can go for walks, runs, play, swim, or whatever they like to do. I've also owned reptiles and worked in animal sanctuaries for many exotic animals. So I love all shapes and sizes! Am working full time, so not available for long term daily commitments. But would love to help with short term or fill in needs!
Reviews
Jennifer was great, came to meet us before watching my cat for a holiday weekend. Updated with photos, and very kind. Would recommend!!
Jenn was great! Mako is shy with new people and Jenn was very patient and gentle with him. Once we got him in her car to drive to the dog park he was back in business and happy to start his adventure with his new friend. He came back happy and worn out and ready for a good nap! I’ll definitely be using Jenn again for future dog walks!
Jenn was great with Ruth. Always sent pic and very descriptive updates on how Ruth was during the walk. Highly recommend!!
Was on time and took pictures of the dogs!

Information Jennifer W. would like to know about your pet
I am happy to work with any breeds. It would be helpful to have an understanding of your dog's behaviors before coming. Are there any things that frighten them? How are they when encountering other dogs on a walk? What is the best way to praise your dog when they do well?
A typical day
We can walk along roads, in the woods, whatever your dog(s) like. If higher-energy, we can also go for a run. Playing fetch, chasing each other, tug-of-war or your dog(s) favorite games. Can also work on basic training if you like. I use clicker training with my own dogs, but can use any technique you prefer.
