Janette is absolutely amazing! From the moment I met her, I knew it was a good fit for my shy little girl. Janette is kind and caring, and takes care of your little ones like they are her own. My Lily is actually rather scared of strangers. But with the multiple pictures Janette sent every day I was gone, I could tell Lily was comfortable and happy. I cannot thank Janette enough for taking such good care of my baby. I would recommend her to everyone, and will absolutely be asking her to watch Lily again!

My pooch came back happy and healthy! Thao was very accommodating when added two days onto my trip last minute, and even supplemented with her own food with no problem!! She also sent me pictures of him which helped ease any worries I may have had leaving him with someone for the first time. She was very easy to communicate with while I was out of town and answered any texts quickly and clearly. 5 stars from me and Max!

About: I grew up in a tropical country surrounded by animals. Naturally, learning and caring for them became my passion. I currently have a dog and a cat of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I work from home, which allows me to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. Your fur babies will be treated like family here! I live in a single-family home and provide a calm, safe environment where pets can relax and feel comfortable. I’ll always do my best to make sure they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I have had pets since I was 1 years old - whatever my parents let me get away with (dog, cats, fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs). As an adult I continue to own cats and dogs and currently own 2 cats. I will treat your pet as a member of my family while in my care. I nursed my cat to health from losing a kidney and he lived till he was 17yo. I nursed my geriatric dog with eye disease, arthritis until he was 14.5yo. I am more experienced with adult and geriatric pets than babies but welcome all. I am currently unemployed and seeking supplemental income. I'm also healing from CIRS/Lyme and need a walking partner to improve my health! My schedule is flexible although I do often have evening commitments with my son and his activities. My yard is large and fenced in. I live next to several walking trails and have a quiet neighborhood. I live close to a dog park and dog beach. I am familiar with crate training and administering medications.

About: Aside from having my own personal dogs in home most of my life I have been volunteering working with and training rescues for 2 years now. Two hours in the Morning, two hours around lunch and all evenings are all free to care for the pets. Walks, fetch and training all available. If dogs are kid and animal friendly I will be able to give them lots of socialization in those environments plus lots of outdoor activity. Have experience working with dogs that don’t interact with other dogs very well.

Thomas is an amazing sitter, and communicating with him is very smooth. He sends me photos of my dog and keeps me updated on how he's doing. He was very patient waiting for me before I picked up Echo. I will continue to use him as a sitter in the future.

As always. Chester was loved and cared for as part of the family. We used to have to distract him when I left by putting him in the yard or giving him a yummy treat in another room. Now, he just glances at me then looks at Wendy at Bill as if to say , “okay, what are we gonna do now…?”

Peejay had an amazing time with Kate, she was so well cared for and happy from the photos and when I picked her up. She’s a dog who loves long walks and Kate took her on many wonderful walks in the Forest Preserves nearby. Will 100% use Kate again!! ❤️🐕
