“Can't say enough about how comfortable and thankful I am with Janel taking care if our dog Cora. She comes in and Cora is waiting for her with a toy, that tells me me Cora is very happy with Janel !!! Cora is a large Bull Mastiff/German Shepherd mix so she could be intimidating but Janel has shown comfort with her which in turn makes Cora comfortable. I can see the joy in Cora's reactions with her. Thank you Janel we are so happy we found you💕”

About: I’ve taken care of family dogs since I was 8. I have helped train dogs from puppy age to do basic commands as well as crate train. I’m currently a full time graduate student but I have online classes so in the mornings and evenings I have plenty of time to care for your pets. With my personal pet and others I ensure there is a harness and leash available for walks to make it safer and easier for me and the pet.

About: Hi there. I’m Zack. I have always had a passion for animals, along with our family having our own. I have been dog walking/house-sitting for 5 years now, and let me just say, it’s one of the best jobs in the world for someone who has a deep attachment to animals. They are part of our lives from the day they come home. You can always rely on me giving them all the care and love they need, and anything you request or need additionally for their wellbeing, don’t ever hesitate to ask twice. I started off caring for animals after a dear friend recommended me to a very sweet couple in need of this. They worked full time jobs and needed a dog walker 5 days a week. I started doing that and from there, built up my clientele. It’s just amazing to be able to work with these dear furry friends. I’m always there for them and you. Thank you.

I take care of my pets full time and I would most happy to help care for yours knowing they are not in the wrong hands I have fenced in front yard and huge backyard I also have a kennel for lab when I leave to run a errand or my two cats are in and outside all pets are vaccinated

About: When it comes to pet sitting, there are countless options available, but what truly sets me apart from others is a unique blend of experience, passion, and personalized service. I OFFER TAILORED CARE FOR EACH PET : I understand that each pet is unique, with their own personality, preferences, and needs. I take the time to get to know each animal, allowing me to tailor your care approach. Whether your baby is a shy kitty that needs extra gentle coaxing or an energetic dog that requires plenty of exercise, I customize my time with your furbabies to ensure each of them feel safe and loved. TOP NOTCH COMMUNICATION SKILLS : I prioritize open and honest communication with my clients. I keep you updated with regular messages ,photos, and videos to assist in reassuring you that your furry family members are in great hands. Being able to provide detailed reports on your pet's behavior and well- being makes me a reliable choice. EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE AND TRAINING : My background in pet care began at a very early age. I've also studied animal psychology and communication and that coupled with my empathy and compassion towards all animals allows me to stand out from the rest of the sitters on here. I am well versed in animal behavior, health, and safety protocols, enabling me to handle emergencies calmly and effectively. My expertise gives you the peace of mind knowing your furbaby is cared for by someone with vast knowledge on the animal kingdom. COMPASSIONATE AND TRUSTWORTHY : My genuine love for animals shines through in everything I do. My clients can sense my compassion and dedication, fostering a strong bond of trust. I prioritize the emotional well-being of not only the animals I care for but also the pet parents. I take your decision to trust me with one of your, if not most precious blessings in life very seriously and would never do anything to compromise that in any way.

This is leading to a collaboration between the senior adults in our community who are looking for companionship as well. If you're interested or know someone who could benefit from this service then please let me know! PERSONAL TOUCH : Lastly, my approach is marked by a personal touch. I remember specific details about each pet, such as favorite toys, treats , or routines, and I always incorporate those into my care. My attention to detail allows you to feel confident that your pet is receiving the best possible care. I am currently taking a short break from work and will be returning on January 1, 2025. That doesn't mean I won't be available after that because of remote work and having an extremely flexible schedule but my 18 year old son will be stepping in more to provide intermittent care through out the day once I work full-time as a Small Business Consultant A sneak peek into our DAILY ROUTINE: Morning care: Every morning I take the dogs for a 30 minute or longer walk. I believe that a good start to the day sets the tone for both pets and their parents. Upon returning to the house it's breakfast time and then a play session.

Evening Engagements : In the evenings, I dedicate time to provide additional walks, cuddles, and play sessions, ensuring that the furbabies receive ample attention and care.
