Jenna Hardy: Boarding + Pet Care

BEHAVIOR-FOCUSED IN-HOME PET CARE

Are you looking for someone to check in on your pet while they remain within the comforts of his or her home? Our team provides behavior-focused boarding care while the pet stays in their own home. Send contact form for rates and availability; be sure to include dates.

We offer pet care remotely in your home. Any problem behaviors are managed, and the pet is kept in a comfortable home atmosphere in which we practice focus cues and a Cue-Response-Reward approach to earning rewards throughout the day and 2 meal* times per day.

*No raw diets due to risk to staff and other animals.

In-Home Behavior Focused Pet Care

Includes 1 or 2 visits to the home for up to 1 hour, and applies to the care of dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and other caged pets. Services include feeding, watering, playing, walking, cleaning cage/bedding, etc. This care caters to serving pets with behavioral or medical needs that are out of the spectrum of the typical dog sitter. All team members care is lead by Jenna Hardy, an expert in the behavior field specializing in animal training and handling.

Training Session During In-Home Behavior Focused Pet Care

$175 per session. Available to clients that have had a pet behavior consultation (see behavior services).

Applied training techniques will vary per pet based on consultation. We teach and practice focus cues, foster impulse control, and focus, as well as the Request-Response-Reward concept for performing desired behaviors throughout the day. All methods used are positive reinforcement-based and scientifically sound—no confrontation, intimidation, or -based techniques are used to train.
