Pet care experience
We are a married couple bringing our years of combined experience together to care for your pet(s). Janet has a background in working with animals that has run continuously since first beginning to volunteer with animals as a teenager. In that time, Janet has worked for two animal shelters, become certified in both standard pet first aid and exotic pet care, and started their own pet care business. Edward began working with animals as a teen, falling in love with caring for all sorts of furry friends. Edward's full-time job is as a PhD candidate in diplomatic history, but his love and devotion for animals has kept him coming back to pet care. Edward is also pet first aid certified and has experience working with dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, and rabbits. Both Janet and Edward are extremely excited to meet your pets and help facilitate a happy home for you and your furry friends. Company Mission: We strive to provide the best care to all of our clients. It is our goal that when a client entrusts us with their animals, they can rest assured knowing that their pets are having the same experiences they enjoy on an average day. We are professional, communicative, and compassionate. All team members have a deep love of animals and strive to provide fully comprehensive care. We aim to create peace of mind for our clients through our professionalism, conducting ourselves respectfully and courteously in clients’ homes. We treat our clients as if they were our own family and their pets as if they were our own animals. By booking with us, you give us the right to use your pet's photographs on our social media and website. They will not be named. If you would prefer us not to use their photo, please let us know.
Reviews
Our four dogs are a difficult crew. We never thought it would be possible to leave them with a pet sitter. However, our son had an out-of-town wedding, so leaving was a necessity. Edward and Janet were a godsend. Starting with the first (always prompt) check-in, we knew something amazing was happening back home. Edward, who was the primary, started by playing frisbee with the alpha dog who, of course, loved him for that. It was so smart. Immediately, upon seeing that the alpha approved, the other three dogs fell in line. That success continued throughout the stay. Instructions were followed to the letter and it all went perfectly. The dogs ate every meal and there were no accidents in the house. Even our very elderly dog with cancer and our very fearful dog did great. Furthermore, we received absolutely beautiful photos of the dogs. We returned to find a clean house and four dogs who were happy to see us but in no way starved for affection. Janet & Edward are extremely professional and talented. Don’t worry. You can trust your crew and your home to them. They gave us the gift of a worry-free vacation. We are so grateful.
We’ve never left our dogs alone so, out of an abundance of nerves, this was part 2 of an extended meet & greet. Janet & Edward impressed us at both meetings. They are extremely conscientious and professional. They never imposed or interjected but rather catered directly to the comfort of us and our dogs. Furthermore, our dogs have taken to them in a big way. We’re very relieved and very happy.
Janet and Edward are very professional. Felt super at ease leaving my little man in their care. Would recommend to anyone who wants to leave their pet in a comfortable environment while they’re on vacation. Great updates, and pics. Thanks for making Robin feel cared for.
Janet and Edward are wonderful. They’re excellent caregivers and communicators. I feel I’ve nothing to worry about when my pup is in their care.

Information Janet & Edward A. would like to know about your pet
What is their regular schedule like? Favorite activities? Any medication? Any special needs? Are they good with other dogs? Are they good with people? Children? On walks are they allowed to meet people or other dogs on the street?
A typical day
We make sure that a typical day for your pet looks exactly like what they're used to. If you want your dog walked to a nearby dog park, around the neighborhood, or given a nice playtime in the backyard, then that is what they will get. If you want your cat given some engagement with toys, scratches, or to simply have someone to sit and scratch them behind the ears, then that is what they will get. For us, the client's wishes are paramount when it comes to their pets. So, whatever you think is fun for your pet is what we think is fun too!
