Hi! I’m Jenny, and after 14 years in the dog walking/pet care business, I’m just now getting around to introducing myself. If you’re also an introvert, I’m sure you understand.

My watershed moment happened when I was doing the office thing, thinking nonstop about my new Labrador puppy at home, and I couldn’t stop problem-solving about how to spend more time with her. I also needed to keep making money to live (thanks capitalism) and was also having a very hard time being stuck in a chair, not moving my body. I took a month away from work, and this was what I came up with: give other humans the peace of mind that their most special canine (or feline, they’re amazing too) are being cared for while they’re away or busy.

Yes, I’m that person who goes to an event or party and hangs out with your dog or cat instead. I specialize in not annoying them, and giving them what their little hearts desire; cuddles, space, playtime, rough-housing, snacks. I also am great with nicknames and all of my clients answer to the alternate names I’ve given them.

When I’m not walking several thousand steps in every kind of weather every day, I’m voraciously reading or caretaking my 40 or so houseplants. I also garden, hunting, foraging, draw, play video games to completion, paint miniatures ( ), and play dungeons & dragons (barbarian is my fav class, followed closely by rogue. Don’t ask me to play spell-casters…we will have a t.p.k.)

If you’ve read this far, thank you for getting to know me! My current fur babes, in the pictures, are my absolute everything and at the center of all that I do. 1️⃣ Ziggy, being reluctantly held by me, is a French Brittany that takes everything very seriously. Photo credit to .by.siece my talented niece. 2️⃣ From left: Lux, also a French Brittany, much less serious than his older brother and sister. Loves biting his friend’s ankles and overturning water dishes. Lolo, chocolate Labrador, wants pets, naps, and long swimming sessions. Ziggy, as previously mentioned, does not play, except with Lux. 3️⃣ Meemer, my familiar, has the longest tail and the most patience.

Tail wags & sloppy smooches!
