Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will become part of the family when they stay at my house, and I will do everything in my power to ensure they feel safe and loved with me. I have a completely fenced-in backyard to allow for easy potty breaks and the opportunity for dogs to run around. My Labrador is a friendly dog who is willing to give other dogs their space if needed. I also have space in my basement for dogs to run around and play, especially during the colder months of the year. Your dog is welcome to sleep on the couch, on Remy’s dog bed, on the guest bed, or alongside Remy and me in our bed. Pet parents can bring kennels, toys, blankets, and anything else that will help their dog(s) feel more at home with us.

Information Jenny L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any accommodation needs (e.g., medication, fears, issues with certain types of dog breeds, etc.), so I can best support them and make them feel at home with me. I also like to know your dog’s routine (e.g., when do they eat, are they kenneled when you are gone, how do they wind down in the evenings, etc.), so I can ensure I’m supporting them as much as possible and helping to reduce anxiety.

A typical day

I can take your pet on a walk in my neighborhood, which is close to a dog park and bike trails. Depending on your dog's interest in water, we can also play fetch at a local lake during the warmer months. We will also play games in the backyard and/or the basement depending on the weather. I keep a variety of toys, especially balls, available for inside play. When we aren’t actively playing, I have a number of spaces in my living room for your dog to relax - a couch, loveseat, dog bed, and a large, oversized chair.

Dog Mom Offering Home-Based Care

Pet care experience

I have taken care of friends' dogs since 2018, including a senior dog with several health problems and regular medication needs, a puppy under 3 months, and an adult dog with a high level of anxiety. I am familiar with dogs who are friendly and at ease with me right away, along with dogs who are more shy and need time to manage their anxiety; both kinds are welcome in my home. Additionally, I helped a former coworker train a service dog connected with Retrieving Freedom for about 9 months (from 2 months old to just shy of 1 year). Finally, I have a yellow Labrador Retriever I have raised since they were 3 months old (they are currently 4 years old). I have trained my dog on a number of commands, including sit, down, off, up, stay, wait, roll over, shake (both paws with the appropriate one given), left, right, free, and place.

Duke loves visiting Jenny and her dog. She sends fun pictures. I always feel like he gets a lot of love.

Jenny is AWESOME!! Communicates often and sends pictures. Was very flexible when I had to add an extra day which was very appreciative as it was last minute. I would 100% book again with her!

Jenny did such a great job of keeping us updated with photos and videos multiple times a day. Even when our puppy was a little sassy (rolling in the mud), she gave her a bath and extra love. Winnie LOVES playing with Remy and Jenny! We know she’s always in good hands and can count on them to show the same love and care (if not more) than we do!

Jenny was awesome!! This was my first time booking with her and she took the time to meet ahead of the booking to ensure our dogs would get along well and it would be a good fit. She sent frequent updates which makes traveling without your pup much easier! Highly recommend and would absolutely rebook with Jenny!
