Stay at home mom and animal lover
Pet care experience
I am a young stay at home mom and animal lover. I regularly work with and foster for several rescues in addition to petsitting, and have experience with bottle feeding, medical fostering, medication administration, and after surgery wound care, as well as light training, and “feral school” with feral and semi feral cats. Being a stay at home mom allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and the ability to provide as many "in home" visits as your individual pet(s) requires, or give them as much attention, walks, playtime and quality time in my home as they need. For boarding stays in my home I do request that for dogs they be other dog and cat friendly, as I do own animals of my own. For cats I do have the ability to keep them separated from my animals and give them their own "room" with window cat perch, toys and bed that are all thoroughly cleaned between each client. I am a lifelong pet owner and have owned and worked with everything from hamsters to horses(even reptiles!), I have experience owning and working with high energy and working class dog breeds, as well as ferral and semi ferral cats. Pets are family, and when they are with me they will always be treated as such!
Reviews
Goose had a wonderful stay with Jeren and I am so grateful for the clear communication and attention to her needs. She clearly knows a lot about dogs and provided excellent care.
We & and our dog think Jeren is awesome! She is always happy to help in anyway she can to make sure our dog is taken care of when needed.
Jeren is clearly very experienced with animal behavior and connected with my pup Hilda immediately. Hilda got a great, slow intro to the pups on premises. Jeren sent photos and updates regularly and it was clear that Hilda was feeling welcomed and relaxed. That really put my mind at ease! Hilda came home fat and happy ?. I will definitely be working with Jeren again in the future. Highly recommend.
Jeren was absolutely incredible! I had to make several changes within a few days before our booking and she was so quick to respond and accommodate. Jeren constantly kept us updated with pictures and videos of our baby throughout his visit. We are so grateful and will definitely be booking again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide several leashed walks per day, and well as play time in the yard, either on my long line(lunge line previously used for my horses) or in our chain link dog run(dogs are NEVER left unattended). In the home pets are allowed run of the house, unless separation is required. I do use crates or gate them in my kitchen/dining room area if I have to run out for whatever reason. This is to insure their safety and prevent them from getting into anything while unsupervised. I am able to provide crates of various sizes, up to XXL or you are welcome to bring your pets crate with them if you feel they would be more comfortable with their own
Home
Information Jeren C. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting a dog I would like to know their temperment(are they super friendly? High energy? Couch potato? Do they have resource guarding tendencies? Timid and shy? Anxious with strangers? I can and have handled all of the above, but would like to know the information in advance so I know how to appropriately handle your individual animal(s) and best meet their needs). I would also like to know what your pets favorite activities are, if they are good with other animals, any medical conditions, special feeding instructions, or medicine administration schedules. I am non-breed discriminatory and will not turn you down simply because of your pets breed.
A typical day
For boarding stays, I live in a quite rural setting, so we will enjoy walks/jogs through the area, I also have access to a large private fenced area within 5 minutes of my home where they can enjoy running around off leash, play a game of fetch, splash in a kiddie pool(weather permitting), or just lay out and enjoy the outdoors. For visits in your home, my goal is to keep your pet(s) as close to their "normal routine" as possible!
