Hey there! I offer a range of services from pet sitting, with the options of drop bys and overnights, dog walks, dog hikes that range from 2 hours to 6, and basic obedience and trouble shooting. The idea is to help pet parents give their dogs the BEST life possible, with a little bit of help.

Jen is such a professional and takes her pet sitting very seriously. That made us, as pet owners traveling far from home, very comfortable putting our fur babies in her hands. She sent us daily pics and updates and we were able to text anytime to check in! She is fantastic, loves animals of all kinds and gives you peace of mind when leaving your pets at home. More...

Jen always goes above & beyond. You can tell she’s very knowledgeable about the dogs and their behavior and I absolutely LOVE that she will tire my dogs out on a hike. Makes for a much quieter afternoon for me ☺️. She’s a life (and sanity) saver. More...

I would recommend Jen for ALL of your furry kids,slithery kids needs!! � Weather it be a simple question regarding what shampoo to use for the furry ones to what is the best heat lamp for those slithery ones to how to cure your nonhuman -kids dis-temperment or illness. She takes her time to get to know each and everyone of their personalities. She creates and keeps a bond with every type of animal she comes in contact with. For me, Jen is the BEST "Dog Whisper" I've ever known! � � Bella and Neyko love/miss you!! See you soon!! �� �� More...

I would highly recommend PFEDT to anyone looking for a dog trainer.
I have 4 dogs.
Jen was patient, experienced, and very knowledgeable in many aspects of her duties.
From basic starter obedience with a new pitbull puppy, to new commands for a 5yr old Boston Terrier.
After meeting with Jen and discussing what I expected, she laid out a plan and showed me what I had to do to be involved with turning my dogs into well behaved companions.
I believe Jen trained my dogs as well and myself, and my family to all be on the same page with communicating to our animals.

We’ve been working with Jenn for 3 weeks now and I am amazed each and every time we complete a session. Not only is she affordable but she is extremely knowledgeable and patient. Our 2 pups have learned so much already not to mention she trains us humans too! More...

I've known Jen my whole life and she's always loved animals. She trained our dogs growing up and had a bunch of reptiles and other small pets. She will take great care of your pets. I trust her completely with mine. More...

What do you love most about your job?
I love working with dogs and their owners. I love being able to educate owners on simple ways to better help their dog to be better behaved or even a little bit calmer. Most of all I love watching a dog who is bored out of his mind, destroying things gain complete focus on a trail and come home a completely different dog. I love when people can see just how well behaved their dogs are capable of being with a little bit of exercise.
What inspired you to start your own business?
Paws For Effect came about when I reakized after a life of rescuing dogs, how many of them were given up because they were "soooooo" bad behaved and they really weren't. The problems were all fairly easy to solve. When I was younger I thought people juat didn't care, but in maturing I realized it's that most people just don't know. I started my business to help educate owners on how to set themselves and their dogs up for success.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm a very down to earth individual while very professional. I understand the hustle and bustle of life now a days. I am extremely flexible and will go above and beyond to ensure my clients are satisfied with whichever service they choose.
