About Us

Hello!  My name is Jennifer McCarthy, I am the owner and founder of Doggone Lucky Pet Services.   I've been a resident of Hillsborough, NJ since 2006.  I worked in corporate for over 28 years.  Now that I'm no longer working in corporate, I decided to pursue my passion, working with animals.    I get such joy spending time with my dogs, going on hikes, morning and evening walks.  Exercise and mental stimulation are key elements to a happy dog.

My experience consists of taking care of dogs for family, friends and co-workers including dog walking and pet sitting.  I've also helped at rescues providing fostering and walking of rescue dogs.   I'm a member of Pet Sitters International and have taken many courses on pet care.  Recently, I have completed by certification as a Certified Professional Pet Sitter.  I'm currently studying Pet First Aid and CPCR through Pet Sitters International. 

I have two canine babies both rescued at different times.  My wish is for all homeless dogs to find families and live out their life's happy, cared for and loved. 

I look forward to talking and meeting you and your pet(s) and have them become part of the 'Doggone Lucky' family!

I have trained every dog that I've ever had. The picture above is Lupo.  I was fostering him and training him to be the best dog so he would find a home.  However, by the time he was trained, he became our dog and part of our family.  So, I guess I would say he was my first foster failure.  We continued training and he went on to become a Certified Pet Therapy Dog through The Bright & Beautiful Therapy Dogs, Inc.

I'm dedicated, trustworthy, caring and compassionate and will care for your pet(s) the way I do my own.   Call or email and we will discuss and come up with a plan that will work for you and your pet.
