❤️🐾 I AM the Dogmom! 🐾❤️

Pet care experience

I have been proudly owned by dogs since I was 7 years old. I love dogs. My dogs. Your dogs. Everyone's dogs. I am currently the proud dogmom of a sweet, loving, mostly deaf, senior female Cocker Spaniel. PaTutti is almost 15 years old. She is a sweet old girl that sleeps most of the day. She was recently diagnosed with lymphoma. She's handling it like a champ. Seniors rock!! 🩷 I have rescued my last several dogs from my local animal shelter, and I especially love senior and special needs dogs. My two most-senior boys (both 15+ years old) peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge over the past two years. And, I recently said goodbye to Trubby, who peacefully crossed Rainbow Bridge in October, 2024. We cannot let those we love the most suffer, no matter how much it breaks our heart to let them go. I'm experienced with diabetic dogs, (my blind English Setter was diagnosed diabetic at the age of 12; and, he lived to the ripe old age of almost 15) and I can administer insulin and other medications. I know all of the "pill-giving secrets." I am retired and have all day to love your dog and make them feel at home. Several of my rescued dogs have been seizure dogs, so I am also experienced with seizure events. I have a fenced-in yard and my lawns are always pesticide- and fertilizer-free. (I might have some dandelions, but they make the bees happy!) 🐝 I will gladly provide a 10% discount to all active duty military, veterans, and first responders. Please ask for your discount before you book, so I can modify your rate. (Proof of eligibility will be required. )

Jeri is WONDERFUL! She is knowledgeable and attentive, to our pup and to us. She goes ABOVE AND BEYOND for her clients! Her photography is professional and I love the way she captures our dog’s personality in each pic. She keeps us up-to-date with text and photos which reassures us. Will continue to use her over and over she’ll let us.!

I am home all day long. Dogsitting is my ONLY job. I will be able to give your dog(s) all of the love and attention they need. Your dogs will live in my home as one of my dogs. They are on my couch with me; they follow me from room to room; they hang around the kitchen when I'm cooking dinner. My house is their house. We all live together as one big happy family.

Information Jerri S. would like to know about your pet

I always require a "Meet and Greet" with your dog before I commit to a boarding or day care visit with a new client. I like to assess your dog's personality, as I have to assure the safety and well-being of my own senior girls in my home. Your dog needs to be spayed/neutered to stay at my house. They will also need to be up-to-date on ALL vaccinations, including rabies, DHPP, lepto and bordetella. My backyard borders the forest, so flea/tick meds are also required to keep your pup critter-free. (Please provide medical records before our Meet and Greet.) I need to know your dog's feeding schedule, and I would like you to bring food along so that your dog's tummy doesn't become irritated with non-familiar food. Please bring the contact information for your veterinarian. If your dog(s) normally sleeps in a crate or a special bed at night, I would ask that you please provide their crate and/or bed.

A typical day

I will find out about your dog(s) before you leave them with me. Does she like car rides? Does he like walks? Does she like to play fetch? Do they love the water? (I have both a splash pad and wading pool for summer fun!) Or, would he just appreciate cuddles and snuggles on the couch? Whatever your dog/dogs like(s) to do, they will be able to do here at my house.
