About Us

Our Story

Jennifer, the owner, is a master’s level licensed graduate social worker who has had a passion for animals since early childhood and has always lived with dogs. At the age of 46, she left her full time geriatric social job to start this business. Through Run and Play, she has been able to utilize her social work skills to find committed and motivated walkers to best support her clients and is able to communicate efficiently and effectively around her client’s needs. She has created a strong and committed team that is available to support most client needs.

Jennifer has also been certified through Pet Sitter’s International as a Professional Pet Sitter and stays up on required CEUs, education and ongoing training.

Elmer is a calm and gentle soul that our dogs gravitate to.  When not walking dogs, he enjoys hospital work assisting patients just as kindly as he assists dog.   After walking, he still finds time to work out in the gym.
