About: I've been blessed by cats and dogs since college, and have navigated everything from the puppy and kitten chaos through the golden senior years. My husband and I are home full time to tend to your pets. Expert at delivering oral medications and basic care. I check all guests with a flea comb on arrival and am happy to do daily brushing for long haired breeds. Big believer in providing enrichment activities such as puzzles and snuffle mats, agility training for active dog breeds, and proper socialization. All boarded animals will have the option to be socialized with our household animals or be boarded separately, we have designed our home to have several completely separated areas. I work from home, and am available 24/7 to tend to your pets. I'm an early riser for those early morning potty breaks and can make late night potty breaks work as needed. I care for all animals with love, decency, and respect. Adhering to their existing schedules is key when boarding them in a new space, so I try to keep their day to day as normal as possible. I'm a big fan of natural treats and fun enrichment activities; I have a variety of puzzle feeders and snuffle mats for all animals. I have a fully enclosed back yard with plenty of grass for running and playing. The neighborhood is good for walking as well. I aim for at least 30 minutes of supervised playtime in the yard per day for all dogs. There is also a fully enclosed cat patio for safe outdoor access as well as two bedrooms devoted to pets. One of these has its own entrance to and from the yard for boarding pets who desire no interaction with other animals.

About: Throughout my life as young as I can remember I have been pet sitting a family member’s dog. Big or small. High energy or mellow. Some even have diapers due to old age. Dogs are very unique and i understand each dog will have a different need! I am fortunate enough to work from home most days and i understand not everyone has the ability to check on their fur babies during the work day. I want to make that worry disappear for you!! I will he HONORED to take a walk with you baby and send you many photos (who can resist a cute fur baby photo??). I’m local to Saint Paul as of now and I would love to be a help to you in any way possible! I am usually always available on weekends! Thanks, Jenna I currently live in an apartment, so boarding will not be an option for me. I also have 2 cats at home who are very comfortable and don’t need too much disturbance!
