On a scale of 1-5 stars, Jen is a 10. Honestly, when you work with Jen, you get way more than the average. Jen's extensive background in working with large animals at a zoo to working with rescued/rehabilitated wildlife to working at a veterinary office not only speaks for her deep love and commitment to animals, but her breadth of experience.
For over four years now Jen has been both walking and boarding our dog. Our dog loves Jen (and Yogi!) like family. Proven by the fact that she pees with excitement when she sees her. I trust Jen implicitly and am always so happy when our dog gets to be with her because I know how happy and well-fed (healthy, nutritious home-made add-ons to the kibble) and well-exercised she is.
Jen understands animals. She is sensitive to individual personalities as well as to group dynamics. She is thoughtful, cautious, playful and extremely loving with the animals. And, with the pet owners and as an independent business owner, she is organized, communicative and ethical.
Besides being dog-walker/boarder extraordinaire, Jen has on several occasions talked me through how to deal with injured animals in my back yard (birds, mice, etc.) A real emotional support and practical problem solver.
We miss Jen like crazy since she moved back east. If you are lucky enough to have Jen in your neck of the woods, work with her. You cannot go wrong. read more
