“Jenn’s place is peaceful, clean, and spacious. She was kind and patient with my shy and timid Sheltie. Daily updates and photos were sent and she was very flexible with my unpredictable schedule.”
“Churro and Fozzie had a fabulous stay! Flexible with drop off and pick-up times. They have a nice big fenced in yard. One of our dogs is VERY shy around people, they were wonderful and patient with him. THANK YOU!”
About: I don't have a dog of my own, but would love to have a partner to go on walk with!! I go on daily walks and sometimes even 2. I have two cats of my own and love them dearly:) I have a full time job that is very flexible. I go on walks in the middle of the day lots of times, and am also free some mornings and evenings. I care for pets depending on how owners want them cared for. Leash walk, off-lease walk, dog park, fetch…whatever is preferred! I have a small yard with an underground fence.
