"From mid-morning onwards, every car that
stops is a possibility. Enough to make the ears
on my two labs prick up. They are waiting, and
waiting. But it is only the sound of the slam
of Jen's car door on her red Explorer that signals
it is time for an explosion of excitement! They
run to the door! They're ready to burst through
the glass just to see her and join her on the
hikes. In between their exuberant exit and their
return, they must have a fantastic time every
day. I can only judge that from their excitement
to see her and pure exhaustion when they come
home. The little one barely makes it through
the door before her eyelids start to drop.
Having Jen is a lifesaver for the owners of
these two young labs. They are happier, less
bored and less destructive because of their
daily hikes with her.I'm so glad to have found
Blue Sky Dogs. I know when I go away that my
dogs will, not only be safe, but they will be
right at home with her. "

"Blue
Sky Dogs took care of my tibetan terrior Rico
for three years. When he was spry and healthy,
they got him out to play and explore during
the day, and always left affectionate comments
about his personality and quirks, along with
their daily note. As he aged, they lovingly
adapted to his needs, and were especially tender
with him in his last weeks, when he was quite
ill. They picked up or cancelled visits whenever
I asked, and provided overnight care when travel
became hard for my dog. Jen and her staff were
trustworthy, professional, responsive, reliable,
pleasant, thoughtful and, most important, affectionate
and respectful with my dog. I used a number
of other dog walkers before moving to Arlington,
but Blue Sky was hands-down the best. If I ever
need dog care in the future, Jen will be my
first and only call.

"We
are so happy to be with Blue Sky since 2006.
You are all my "dog angels", don't
know what I would do without you. At least once
a month I seem to be singing your praises as
a successful female sole proprietor of a creative
and independent enterprise that brings necessary
services to so many. Keep up the good work"

" Jen takes great joy in my animals --
she sees both their odd little quirks and their
enormous charms. When I come to pick them up
at the end of the day or week's vacation, they
are calm, well fed, well cared for, well adventured,
and still glad to see me. I will always be grateful
to her for how she saved my dog's life, getting
in touch with me immediately when she realized
that the poor guy was suddenly quite sick. She
came with me to the vet, sat with my dog and
me, and helped us get home. ...She's a gem."

"Jen Burns has been my exclusive dog caretaker
for the past two years. There's no one else
I trust more with my dog Gracie than Jen. When
Jen watches Gracie, she takes her on field trips,
gives her plenty of exercise, watches her food
intake, and monitors her interactions with other
dogs. In addition to making it fun and safe
for Gracie, Jen is also conscious of health
issues. One time Jen soaked Gracie's paw daily
because Gracie had broken a nail the week prior.
She really takes great care of her. And Gracie
just adores her. When Gracie sees Jen, she cries
with joy and excitement, wiggling around Jen's
legs so as to be as close to her as possible.
I highly recommend Jen to take care of any animal."

Jen
Burns is dependable, trustworthy, reliable and
loyal. I have employed her services for these
reasons but also because she is a loyal student
to the teachings of the animals she cares for.
And they are loyal to her. She cares for our
pets the way WE would and isn't that what you
want in a caretaker?
