Give your dog a sweet vacation too!

Pet care experience

Hey there! I'm Janika, and I also go by Nikki. I have always had a deep love for animals. There is nothing like a dog's love and affection, and I promise to give your dog all the love and attention that they deserve. Up until college, I have always lived with animals and I miss waking up to a wagging tail and a cold nose every morning! Why I Love Dog Sitting: I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. I was always around animals growing up. At one point my family had two dogs (one mixed breed, one German Shepherd), a cat, a snake and a guinea pig! In addition to your dog, if you have any other critters, I am more than happy to take care of them as well! Every dog is as wonderfully unique as their human family members, and I know that behind every wagging tail, there is a caring person they have come to rely on. Life happens, I get that, and sometimes you need to leave your best buddy behind. I would like to help your mind be a little less stressed and your wallet a little more full than it would be elsewhere. Let me know what works for you! I am happy (and would prefer) to meet with you beforehand, so that we can get to know each other and discuss what makes your dog most comfortable. You can also be sure to expect responses in a timely manner (text/call/email) to any additional questions you may have before or while you’re away.

Janika took great care of Max, he loved his little vacation. She sent lots of updates and pictures, and she was so easy to work with as far as meet and greets, drop-off and pick-up. It was nice to be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my best friend was being well taken care of. I'll use her again in a heartbeat.

We so appreciate Janina's willingness to work with our changing schedule. She did a great job watching our pups. In most the photos she posted for us they were cuddled up right next to her. Our dogs made themselves quite comfortable thanks to her loving care!

I was extremely worried leaving my 2 dogs with someone I really didn't know. Because my dogs like my kids and very important for me . But from the moment we met Janica and her roommate Nick she and her roommate warm and inviting and I knew I didn't have anything to worry about. She took such care of my 2 dogs They where really accommodating and flexible. Updates where given of our dog with pictures.I will definitely be using Janica and Nick for any of my upcoming dog sitting needs.

Gracie really seemed to enjoy her stay with Janika and Nick. We received pictures every day and came home to a happy pup. We would definitely use them again to pup-sit our Gracie.

Information Janika M. would like to know about your pet

I don’t have any breed preferences, I love all dogs!! It would be nice know if they are on any kind of diet, have any health issues, if they have a set routine (certain times they are used to being outside, fed, etc.). Also, if you have a shyer dog (ex: a rescue that was abused before you saved them) that would be nice to know because the last thing we want to do is make them feel uncomfortable. Bottom line, I would just like to be informed so that I can properly accommodate your pets while you’re away.

A typical day

Since I’ll watch your furry family member at your place, just let me know where you usually walk them! Dogs like routine, and it’s my job to help them feel as comfortable as possible. :-)
