Pet care experience
Adam and Janice are a pair of dog-loving best friends working in the international development space. DC natives and friends since high school, they each grew up in dog-filled homes and learned to care for their furry siblings at an early age. Though their careers won't yet allow them to be full-time dog parents, they greatly look forward to spoiling your doggos or kitties while you're out! Janice grew up taking care of three rescue dogs -- a Golden Retriever, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and a scrappy little mutt. Each lovable doggo had a special need of some sort, including behavioral challenges and orthopedic issues, and so Janice learned to administer oral medications and use an assistive sling to support mobility. From ages 16 to 18, she volunteered at the Calvert County Humane Society, where she walked, fed, and cleaned up after a host of wonderful dogs. Adam grew up with six rescue cats and three rescue dogs -- a Yorkie, a Greyhound, and a Yellow Lab. Beginning in middle school, he regularly volunteered under an ASPCA vet and quickly learned to calm anxious cats and dogs and administer medications orally, rectally, subcutaneously, and intramuscularly -- skills he readily applied to care for his then-geriatric animals. Most recently, while working in rural Bolivia, he adopted and spent one year caring for two homeless dogs: a two-year-old German Shepherd and two-month-old mutt. In addition to training both dogs in basic obedience, he prepared home-cooked food for them twice daily. They currently live in Logan Circle and work in Dupont Circle. Though their apartment is unfortunately not animal friendly, their jobs allow them to regularly telework or work flexible hours. As such, they're easily able to leave the office during the day to take your dog for a walk or, if needed, telework to care for your furry pals all day.
Reviews
Second time using Janice and she’s great! Received photos after the walk. Will use again!
Janice was awesome! She was very great with my cat and sent very thorough reports with pictures. I will definitely use her again!
Adam and Janice are great. It can be hard for me to trust others to take care of my cat. I had been let down by sitters before. Adam immediately made me feel comfortable when he came to meet Johnny. Janice sent me updates and picture each time she visited. It was very comforting and I will definitely use their services again. I know my cat was in good hands.
I was flying into DC late and Janice and Adam were able to stop by for me to check in on the girls before I arrived home. Thank you for the availability last minute.
