Care for your dog? So do I!!!

Pet care experience

I understand the worries pet parents have when leaving their precious pups with strangers. I care for your dogs as well as I care for my own. I will meet with you before you leave to see how your dogs respond to me. While caring for your dogs, I will take them to local dog parks for run and play. I will take care of them and clean up after them, so you you won't have to come home to a house that is trashed. I am comfortable with caring for cats as well. I have a mixed pet household. Give me a try! I am a dog owner and have been around dogs my whole life. I have cared for friends' and family members pets often. I love taking "the kids" to the off leash dog parks. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover since I was 5 months old, when my family got a "medium sized brown dog", named Tippy. I was her baby and she lived until I was 16 years old. As an adult, I have owned 3 American Eskimo dogs. My dogs live long healthy lives. Aside from my 3 dogs, I have watched, walked and cared for friends & families dogs. I have 3 dogs (Gus, Maizen & Mattie) who have become my Bear's pack members. We go to dog parks weekly (more often depending on weather, & my schedule). Gus has a bad leg so I watch him, as he will never complain. My experience administering medication It depends on the pet. I am experienced in sneaking medications to the dog via cheese, peanut butter, lunch meat or in their food. I have never administered injections to a pet.

We love Jen! She has been Ada's sitter for 11 years now - she's family. Whenever we return, Ada is happy, healthy, walked, received her meds. Our home always looks the way we left it. We wholeheartedly recommend Jen to care for your pets!

We have three dogs, two of whom are nervous rescue dogs who don’t trust other people easily. Jenny has charmed the smaller one and has patiently established a solid “working relationship” with the other. We are so grateful for her calmness, excellent communication with us, and her ability to connect with all three dogs. It makes leaving home much easier when we know that they will be cared for so well.

I care for pets in their home. IF a dog is friendly & social, I may introduce my dog. I love taking them to off leash parks. I don't force the dogs to "like" me. I allow them to get to know me by being present.

Information Jenny A. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences. I love all dogs. I adapt to the dogs. I like to know about any special considerations. (ie. medications, illnesses)

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog Again, this depends on the dog. If they require constant attention, then I will stay all day. If they only require minimal care and attention, I can just stop in as necessary. OH, and my signature move is I LOVE TAKING THEM TO THE DOG PARK!
