About Jennifer

I have run a boutique boarding kennel at Pakenham Upper for twenty-five years. Set on fifty acres of bush and farmland, it caters for up to ten dogs. All runs have grassy areas and dogs enjoy a daily walk to the creek. Very homely atmosphere. Genuine loving care guaranteed. Up to date vaccination certificates required.

I am also a novelist who writes books set in and around Australia's magnificent wild places. They are always chockful of animal characters. Spending time outside with the dogs and horses is my absolute favourite thing to do, so all my charges are guaranteed plenty of attention. And you never know - your dog might very well end up in one of my books! It's been known to happen.

Pick up and drop off times are strictly between 8.00 am and 6 pm.

 *PLEASE NOTE

- Due to scaling back my business, I no longer offer boarding for the following breeds: German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Airedales, male English Staffys, Amstaffs, Bull Arabs and Bull Terriers. Current clients excepted. 

- I also don't accept Huskies or Malamutes due to the vocal nature of these dogs. This is as a favour to my neighbours! Current clients excepted. 

* UPDATE - I no longer accept medium to large male dogs of any breed that are not desexed. Apologies to those owners of well-behaved entire male dogs. (Small dogs, and pups 12 months and under, are exceptions to this rule)
