About: Had pets all 24 years of my life, and now own a King Cavalier Charles who is a joy to everyone and everything. I would be a great host to anyone who comes into my home. Have taught my animals tricks and trained them as well. I work from home on Monday’s and Friday’s so I would be available to be with the animal at all times and take them out every few hours on those days and weekends. I frequently like to take breaks at work which means lots of play time. My community is large and very safe. It includes a dog park and lots of paths to walk miles on. The pets are allowed on furniture. I am a smoke free home. I have a pup at home who loves everyone and is eager to make some friends!
About: I’ve owned a Labrador and Rottweiler, so I’m experienced in handling breeds with good and bad reputations. No dog is too big for me to care for and no dog is too small, either. I have about 200 hours of job shadowing experience at a veterinary clinic, so I’ve had exposure to cats and dogs of all kinds of sizes and behaviors. I currently own 4 cats and am experienced in caring for them and their environment. I also have experience in caring for rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. I own 2 rabbits currently. I’m unemployed, so I tend to have lots of free time, meaning I have lots of time I can spend caring for your pets with the utmost care. I have a large, fenced yard and large areas inside my house for animals to roam and play in. All my pets are friendly towards newcomers.
“She was extremely kind and patient with the dogs! Our dog had a few accidents but she was super nice and understanding and cleaned it up for us! We would recommend her!”
“Jen is top quality dog care. She puts her heart and soul into your pet. Prezi loves her. I highly recommend Jen. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my baby girl. Thank you for being so good Jen”
“Lora went above and beyond this past visit and deservingly earned 5 stars. She checked in on Snoopy one extra time because she wasn't sure I made it back home from vacation and she even bought her Snoopy a new toy. Way to go and I can't wait to have her back to care for my pets.”
About: I have taken care of animals of all kind since I was 10 years old. Anything from small to large animals, I have taken care of from my own personal pets, to friends and family too! I also have experience as a veterinary technician and know when immediate care is needed. I am working part-time and am in school full time. I have a varying of gaps during the day when most pet parents are at work, so I can come do a drop in- or give a walk while you’re away! The safety and comfortability of your pet comes first! I will work with you to understand your pet's daily routine, exercise needs, medications, and special any requirements.
