Dogs are family!

Pet care experience

Along with being the mom of 2 great rescue pups, I have volunteered as foster parent for local rescue organizations for 6+ years and have had the privilege of helping over 65 wonderful puppies find their forever homes. I dog sit on a regular basis for my friends and family, so it only makes sense that I offer my help to anyone else who might need it - as i single dog mom, I know sometimes you just need a little help. And because I consider my dogs members of my family, I treat them as such and that's pretty much all there is to it! From my experience fostering, I've learned quite a lot about dog health and behavior issues first hand. You can be confident your pup will well-taken care of under my care, even if the unexpected occurs. Please note, I have taken a break from fostering and sitting over the past year to care for my own. Last March, my Luna herniated a disc in her spine and became completely paralyzed in her hind. We received a very bleak prognosis - emergency surgery might have a 20-30% chance of "partial recovery." With incontinency and no mobility for a large dog, we were gently advised that quality of life for both mom and pup may not be worth it...But I simply couldn't accept this for my girl and was committed to doing whatever possible to make the best of our situation. As long as Luna had the fight in her, we would not give up meaning diapers, special harnesses, a stroller, lots of mom muscle and most importantly ACUPUNCTURE. Within eight weeks, Luna began to show improvement. Her tail wagged for the first time, she began to pull herself around, she became able to stand to eat...Fast forward to today - Luna can walk and run (with a very adorable wonkiness) and is living her best life! She is happier than ever and every day reminds me to never give up and that love really is all powerful. It is this love that we are finally now ready to open our home and share again with you. We're baaaaaaack!

I am so thankful to Jennifer for taking FANTASTIC care of Ziggy! This was Ziggy's first time staying with a stranger and it was for a significant period of time. Jennifer went above and beyond to make sure he and I were comfortable prior to my trip - one meet-and-greet and one playdate to ensure they were comfortable together and her pups and Ziggy got along well. I received daily pictures, videos, and updates from Jennifer that gave me such peace of mind and I greatly appreciated how she took time to take him on walks and give him alone time from the rest of the "pack" as he adjusted to her home. I would recommend Jennifer to anyone and know I will be booking with her again!!

Jen was one of the best river sitters Lucy has had! She sent a lot of pictures, and it was clear she loved on Lucy like she was her own. We will certainly request her in the future. Thanks Jen!

Jenn was great! We left our dog for the first time ever and I was a bit anxious but Jenn eased my mind. She was great about asking what Cooper’s normal routine is and sticking to it. She sent pictures the entire time we were gone. Cooper seemed to enjoy his stay!

She was amazing as always! She kept in touch with me with video and picture updates frequently, which I loved. We will definitely be using her again! No need to hesitate, your fur baby will be loved and taken care of here?
