About: Lifetime of experience, including dogs with behavioral challenges and special needs. I've volunteered at local shelters, and I've fostered rescue dogs in need. I have quite a bit of experience with dogs of every background! I am currently a college student and taking some time off of work to focus on my studies and would like to make some extra cash to help pay my loans/carry some weight at my family's house. My family has quite some land, and although not fenced, I am very active and always run with my own dog on a leash. I do 30 minutes to an hour walk twice a day. Potty breaks are very consistent.

About: Hi! I’m Jenna. I'm going into my sophomore year in college at Morehead State. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds all of my life. I’m very patient, compassionate, and love dogs of all sizes. From small Shih Tzu’s and Yorkies to larger Hunting Dogs, Huskys, and even rambunctious Labs! I’m flexible with care guides and times because I understand all Dogs (AND cats!) have different needs.
