Loving caregiver for Dogs

Pet care experience

There is a dog park in my back yard. My daughter loves playing fetch with our dog there. On Sundays the park is a leashless dog park, where locals gather for a lively social hour. I dont work weekends but I am willing to make special accommodations for those locals in the area. I am always available weekday mornings for non locals, ready to help clients walk dogs. When owners don't leave enough time for their pet to have adequate attention and companionship, dogs, just like people, can become depressed or lonley. They need regular trips to the vet for check ups, water, exercise, love, baths, and a healthy diet. Their teeth can be cleaned with a special chew stick, and healthy natural dogfood is preferred. I never feed dogs people food because it creates a bad habits and poor health for the animal. Also, I never feed a dog from the dinner table because I dont want to teach it to be a beggar. When trained consistantly and carefully, dogs can quickly learn simple commands. Some dogs need to be taught aggression is not socially acceptible, especially the small ones. I never met a dog I didn't like but if your animal has had a history of agression I won't be able to bring them where people or other animals could be at risk.

Jenny was an amazing pet sitter. My Animals loved her......and yes, I can tell by their behavior when I get home if they connected with their pet sitter. I also felt very comfortable with her watching my dogs and cat. She is competent, clean, mature and caring. My favorite thing about Jenny is when I got home my house was sparkling clean and she had changed my bed sheet with fresh linens for me to sleep in. BONUS!!

Information Jenny J. would like to know about your pet

Dogs must be house broken and child friendly, not a dog that barks all the time or is known to bite.

A typical day

I like to promote healthy activities, ball, walking, running, and socializing with other same size dogs. I use positive redirection/reward system when needed. I offer treats for good behaviors and use praise as a positive reinforcement. I never thought I'd go from teaching preschool to training dogs , but here I am! I live 5 mins from Heather Farms park in walnut creek. Two nearby dog parks are fenced off so dogs are safe and free to be off leash when they meet other dogs.
