Pet care experience
My dog business has been based in the Washington , DC area for 5 years now and I travel with lucky “summer camp” dogs to our home in Southern Maine from June through September. Luckily, our home in Maine has many of the same amenities as our home that’s further South! We always look forward to having a wonderful summer outdoors in Maine and are thrilled that some of our DC doggy friends accompany us to Vacationland. I am a full-time dog mom who grew up on a farm in rural New Hampshire with many animals. I grew up with Great Danes and am comfortable with large breed dogs. I have also had special needs pets that required extra care. I currently have 1 rescue dogs, a “Sato” who I found on a beach in Puerto Rico and brought home. My 4,000 sf home is located on a nature preserve with trails, a river and a pond that I take my own dogs out on everyday. There is also a large field for playing with tennis balls. Back at the house we have an 8 foot tall fenced compound that has a comfy hay filled shed for outdoor playing. Inside I recently renovated an 800 sq foot space that has large windows, beds, blankets and a couch and toys! It is the new indoor dog dedicated space for cold/hot weather playing and we are very excited about using it. So far the dogs seem to love it and I can keep a close eye on them. Between walks and play areas my home has plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the pups. We are a non smoking environment and I believe all my dogs are having a great time while they are away from their home! Part of my business model is taking multiple walks a day and including dogs on fun excursions we take!
Reviews
Jifka is amazing! Zeke is very needy and she was very patient with him. I would recommend her for your fur baby!
Jifka was amazing! She was warm and welcoming. She was also very attentive, communicative, and caring.
Jifka was absolutely fantastic with Jewell taking care of her for four days while we were away. Would definitely use her again. Nice yard and very happy dog!
Jifka was fantastic. Our dog loved her and her family (including her dog Vega). We will definitely use her again!

Information Jifka M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any behavioral issues beforehand so we can determine if we are a good fit. I cannot accept male dogs who are prone to marking inside although I do watch a small male who wears his diaper while he’s inside and that works fine. Iam flexible with drop off and pick ups.
A typical day
Trails and streams and a big field for walks and play. We are situated on a 50 acre Nature Park and our property is on the end of a dead end cul du sac. We are very private and have great summer shade.
