Human Golden Retriever

I've been watching dogs since 2011. I've never listed online and everything is usually word of mouth, but I'd like to do even more of it. I trained my own service dog. I've trained every dog I've ever owned in adulthood. I have a way of understanding and reading dogs that sets me apart. They're excited to come to my house, and they don't want to leave. I let them sleep on the bed with me, and I spend as much time with them as possible. I'm also a self-employed hair stylist, so I manage my schedule around the dogs that I watch, and take off hours of my work day when I watch them. I love them like they are my own. I graduated in psychology and learned how to train as well. You'll be amazed when your dog comes back calmer than it arrived. Please message me with any questions or accommodations. I'm more accommodating then this website can allow me to say, so reach out and we can work something out if possible. I just want to help your dog feel safe.

We only use Jennilyn for our pup. As an anxious mom & dog mom I so appreciate the love and care she puts into our dog Tucker! and we receive pictures the whole time we are away to see how happy he is while with Jennilyn! We love her and so does Tucker!

Jennilyn watched our three dogs for a week while we were on vacation. We have a Doberman and two poodles. They had a blast with her, she loved on them so much they wanted to stay there haha! Highly recommend!

I call Jennilyn a dog whisperer because she has such a special connection with dogs. Everyone loves her and they always return. She's wonderful and always very responsible!

Schedule

I'm a self-employed hair stylist, so I fit my schedule around the animals I watch. The more time you give me to schedule your animal, the more time I can give it during its day. I take time off of everyday of mine to spend time with the animals. The more pups I have, the less time I spend at my hair stylist job. Please reach out if you don't see what you need, because I can accommodate sometimes.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a gated yard. It's not a full fence, but it's high enough for dogs. I live in a large home, in the basement apartment. Dogs can sleep on the bed with me or in their crate, whatever you think is best. We spend as much time as possible together. When I have to leave I make sure that I am only leaving in bursts so that I can come home and be with them, and let them out and spend time. When given plenty of time, I only spend few hours away when I have to. My schedule is quite flexible. I send pictures and updates, and lots of snuggles.

Pets

A typical day

I am a dog obsessed cuddler. Generally they spend all the time with me. As much as I am home (which is most of the day) they are by my side. I have regular dog toys and puzzle toys for brain stimulation. We go outside and run around the backyard. We go for walks as long as they are well enough behaved for me to walk them. Where I go they go. When they are small enough, I even sneak them into work with me. We have plenty of treats and fun time. But I find that most of it is us taking naps and cuddling, which I must say is one of my favorite things to do. I live right in and near the mountains, so if you are okay with it, I can even take them on hikes with me, if I'm given permission of course!

Please tell me all about your dog. What is its daily routine? When does it eat? Does it take any medication? Are there any things that make it especially nervous? Is it timid? What makes your dog feel better when it seems sad or lonely? Does it have any special behaviors I need to be aware of? Anything you can think of I'm happy to know. It all helps me understand the dog and make sure it fits perfectly. One of my special skills is integrating animals together in my space. You would never know they didn't come from the same place.
