About our guest: After almost a decade of big city dog walking, Jen decided to hang up her daily dog walking shoes to concentrate on concierge and travel petsitting. This semi retirement was made possible by following principles of the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) movement. She started her business as an affordable option to petcare, but her pricing structure has evolved over the years to reflect her experience and demand for her services. Jen currently lives in the mountains of Colorado, where she spends her days hiking, snowboarding and hanging out with her newly adopted dog.
