Pet care experience
I Understand That Your Pets Are More Than Just Pets, They’re Family. Pet Care Experience: With a lifetime of passion and dedication to dogs, I offer an unparalleled pet care experience. My journey with dogs began when I was just 9 years old, and since then, I've accumulated 29 years of hands-on experience. From puppies to seniors and from teacup poodles to massive high-content wolfdogs, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of canines, each with their unique needs and personalities. My experience extends across various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, making me well-equipped to provide exceptional care for your furry family member. What Sets Me Apart: As a certified canine nutritionist, my expertise extends to ensuring your dog receives the best diet possible. I can guide you in selecting the right foods and treats to keep your precious pup healthy and happy. Moreover, I am an experienced dog trainer with certifications from renowned experts in the field. I've also had the privilege of shadowing some of the best dog trainers on the internet. While my main focus on Rover is dog boarding, my background as a dog trainer means I can provide an enriching environment for your dog during their stay. In addition to my extensive experience and certifications, I'm actively involved in co-owning a large mushing team and competing in thrilling competitions in my spare time. This unique pursuit not only deepens my connection with dogs but also enhances my understanding of their unique behaviors and needs. Your dog may not be racing sleds, but they'll experience a world of fun and adventure with me! Safety is my top priority, and I adhere to your instructions diligently, ensuring that your dog is comfortable and secure during their stay. Your peace of mind is essential to me, and I take every precaution to provide a safe environment for your pet. Furthermore, I'm currently using my income to build my dream house, which includes an indoor training and boarding facility. This commitment demonstrates my dedication to providing the best possible care for your dog and creating an environment that ensures their comfort and happiness. Choosing me as your dog's caregiver means entrusting them to a dedicated professional who is not only experienced but also passionate about dogs. Your pup will receive top-notch care, tailored to their individual needs and preferences. My goal is to ensure that your dog's stay is not just a temporary arrangement but an enriching and memorable experience. Join our growing family of satisfied clients, and let's make your dog's stay extraordinary!

Maisie had so much! I can’t wait for her to go back! ❤️
My dogs absolutely LOVED her. From the first moment they saw her, they accepted her. Which is something my bulldog doesn't do very often! He usually hides out when someone new comes around, but he came right up to her. She kept my dogs for a week at her house. My husband was having emergency surgery and at the same time, I was having the house remodel for a wheelchair. I dropped off one hyperactive Weimaraner age 11, and one lazy old bulldog, age 10. She was able to keep both dogs happy. In each picture she sent me, I could tell that my dogs were happy. The day I was to pick them up, my husband just got out the hospital and the construction crew were finding all kinds of problems, and I was losing it! I asked her if she could bring my babies home to me, and she wrote back "Sure!" It was such a great relief for me. I highly recommend Jewelia. She lives a little far but the property is great for dogs to be able to explore. The way I see it, what's a few extra miles for my dogs to have a great vacation!
Fantastic experience! She is super nice, helpful, and was great with our Lab. Will definitely use her again and recommend her highly. Thanks so much!
Jewelia is amazing. She is very responsive and was amazing with Rosie. Rosie loved her visit. She went on so many walks and had a blast running around. I would recommend her to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment
I take pet care and safety seriously, whether it's in my home or my client's home. In my own home, I have created a dog-friendly haven for your furry companions. We have a large fenced-in yard, and we're in the process of expanding it to over half an acre to provide even more space for dogs to run and play safely. Inside, I have a dedicated dog room equipped with comfortable dog beds and crates, ensuring that every pet has a cozy and secure space to call their own. For dogs and puppies who need extra attention or have special needs, I've set up a separate area in our bedroom to ensure they receive the care and comfort they require. We follow a consistent routine, including multiple potty breaks, invigorating walks, and engaging games to exercise both their bodies and minds. I also provide a variety of chew toys, including bully sticks, pig ears, horns, and antlers, to keep them happily occupied. One of the ways I build trust and keep pet parents updated is through regular communication. I make it a point to send lots of pictures and videos, so you can see firsthand how your pet is doing and the fun they're having. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, whether they're staying in my home or yours. I prioritize the use of reliable and sturdy leashes during outdoor activities, ensuring that your pets are securely harnessed at all times unless you are comfortable with your dog being off leash and they respond well to recall. For dogs with high anxiety or specific needs, I have an impact crate available, which provides a safe and calming space when they need some quiet time, always under close observation. To maintain a hygienic and sanitized environment, I utilize veterinary-grade disinfectants to regularly clean and sterilize dog bowls, toys, beds, leashes, and all shared equipment. Your pet's health and well-being are my top concerns, and I go the extra mile to ensure that every aspect of their stay is safe and hygienic. Additionally, for added peace of mind, my mother lives with me, ensuring that there is always someone present to oversee and care for the dogs, even if I need to run a short errand. Your pet's safety and comfort are never compromised during their stay in my home. If there are any other specific safety measures or precautions you'd like to include or if you have any other preferences, please feel free to let me know, and I'll tailor the response accordingly.

Information Jewelia B. would like to know about your pet
I believe in thorough preparation to ensure that your pet's stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. To make their experience seamless, it's essential for me to know any vital details about your pet ahead of time. Firstly, any known medical conditions, allergies, or medications your pet requires are important information. This ensures I can provide the necessary care and attention. Understanding your pet's temperament, including any triggers or fears, is crucial. It helps me create a safe and stress-free environment tailored to their behavior. Information about specific dietary preferences, feeding schedules, and favorite treats is also valuable. This ensures your pet's regular routine is maintained, and they enjoy their meals. Knowing the level of physical activity your pet is accustomed to and enjoys helps me plan the right amount of exercise tailored to their energy levels. Insights into how your pet interacts with other animals and people are helpful. This allows me to plan social interactions that align with their comfort and preferences. Additionally, if your pet has favorite toys or activities they particularly enjoy, please share them. This allows me to incorporate familiar and beloved items into their daily routine. Lastly, providing emergency contact information, including your veterinarian's details and an alternative contact, is essential in case I need to reach out during your pet's stay. By sharing these important details ahead of time, you help me create a personalized and stress-free experience for your pet. Your pet's well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and your input is invaluable in ensuring a positive and enjoyable stay.
A typical day
Whether your furry friend is a senior dog seeking a more relaxed pace or a young, energetic pup ready for action, I customize their day accordingly. For our senior companions, we take it easy with gentle strolls, cozy moments, and activities that align with their comfort levels. Rest assured, they'll receive the attention and care they deserve. On the flip side, if your dog is a bundle of energy, we pack the day full of exhilarating adventures and fun-filled activities. Games like the flirt pole, tug of war, fetch, and a homemade agility course provide the perfect outlets for their boundless enthusiasm. Mental stimulation is equally important, and we engage in activities like hide and seek, stuffed Kongs, and food-dispensing toys to keep their minds sharp. For water enthusiasts, we offer exciting water games, including fetching toys from the kiddy pool, chasing the water hose, and frolicking in the sprinkler. Digging aficionados have their own designated spot, while swimmers can enjoy a refreshing dip in our pond with your permission. Our property also boasts hiking trails for those craving adventure. I'm always open to new ideas and unique activities that your dog may love. Your pet's happiness is my priority, and I'm dedicated to ensuring that their day is not just enjoyable but perfectly tailored to their individual needs. With a combination of exercise, play, and mental stimulation, I create a personalized and enriching day for every furry guest, making their stay with me an unforgettable experience.
