About: I've owned dogs my whole life and love caring for animals. I currently have two dogs and one is a senior, and my other dog loves playmates. I have lots of experience giving medication, including insulin and if your dog has medical needs I can help. I'm home most of the time. I love to walk dogs and play with them. You can rest assured your dog is in good hands and will have good company while you're away! I work close to full time but work close to home. I'm home in the evenings and most weekends. Reach out to me for availability. My schedule is probably not ideal for dogs who have separation anxiety. My yard is not fenced in and I have a large wooded property. I can keep your dog on leash outside if they don't recall well. We take very regular potty breaks outside with my senior dog. My other dog loves to play but my senior is getting too old for this. My dog would love to have a playmate! Dogs have free reign in our house. Please let me know if they aren't allowed on furniture so I can help reinforce your training.
“Jeremiah did a wonderful job watching over our temperamental Aussie. He was well exercised, ate his food normally and seemed very comfortable with Jeremiah. We will be booking with Jeremiah again.”
“Cassandra did a fantastic job taking care of Roxy while we were gone. She even sent updates every few days. We will definitely use Cassandra again if she is available. Thank you!”
About: I've had and cared for animals since I was 7 years old. I've cared for cats, dogs, birds, and a variety of livestock. In addition to caring for my personal animals, I've also provided house sitting services, as well as, managed a 10+ horse facility! I work from home, therefore, have plenty of flexibility to tend to your pet! I am available for boarding Thurs-Sun. I am available for daycare Sun, Mon, Thurs, Fri, Sat - I can accommodate an occasional Tues, Wed for daycare. I live on a beautiful farm nestled in Southwest Michigan. Our farm is a perfect setting for pups of all sizes to play, run, relax, and feel right at home!! With years of hands-on experience, and with my work from home flexibility, you can rest assured knowing your pet is in caring and capable hands. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or lounging around the house, I tailor their stay to match their needs!
“Jina was amazing! She came highly recommended by a friend and made our time away so smooth by watching our dog, Lulu. We even had a complicated situation where we needed her to pick Lulu up from a family member’s house and it all went down without a hitch! We loved getting pictures and updates of Lulu and she seems like she had a great time!”
“Jennifer was great--if Sasha could talk I'm sure she say that she had a great time. It was our first time with Rover and Jennifer and we will definitely book with her again. She was very accommodating--letting us visit a few days before we boarded Sasha. She has a dog-friendly house and a good yard (not fenced but she uses a stake) and lives right next to a park in a very dog-walkable neighborhood.”
“As a first time Rover user I was quite nervous about leaving my dog behind on vacation. Jenny really eased my mind through our meet and greet and then further with updates while sitting. I would 100% let her watch Opal again and would definitely recommend her for others.”
