Certified vet asst and vet tech

Pet care experience

I am a certified veterinary assistant/vet tech at a local clinic. I've grown up around animals and have had dogs and cats my whole life. 4 years ago I had made the decision to change careers from the accounting field to the veterinary field and pursue my passion for animals. I love helping animals live a happier and healthier life. I only do pet sitting at the client's house as I feel it's less stressful on the pet..... and let's face it, not all dogs like each other! I currently have three dogs of my own and used to have 4 cats before they all passed away at ripe old ages. I also had a special needs senior rat terrier and have experience in my career and personal life with giving all different kinds of meds. My husband is a wonderful dog sitter to my fur babies at home in my absence and can help out in a pinch when needed as he works from home.

WOW! My husband and I have canceled several trips this year due to some health issues with our Pomeranian (Kidney related). All that changed when we found Jan :). Not only did she do a wonderful job with our fur babies (they adore her!), she also grabbed our mail, gave our Pom all her meds AND ran her to a couple doctors appointments! When we got home the house was spotless. I cannot tell you how comforting it is to have found Jan. She is a real gem- we are so grateful to have someone with such a watchful eye (and a background in vet care) to look after our babies when we can't be there with them. A++++. We are very grateful for the great care she showed our babies and our home.

We had a great experience with Jan! We left our 2 dogs, Max and Gracie with Jan for 5 days. I hate leaving them, but this was by far the easiest time. Gracie is a senior dog who doesn't really like other dogs, so being able to leave her in her own home was the best. Usually when we come back they both act weird for a few days (sometimes refusing to eat). But not this time. They were so happy when we got home and were acting like their normal crazy selves. Jan sent us daily updates to let us know how they were doing. It felt great to know they were so well cared for and having fun. I would say that when we got home it was like no one was even there, but that wouldn't be true because I'm pretty sure Jan left it cleaner than we did! Jan was great, our dogs were happy, what more could we ask for.

Jan did a great job with my two dogs and took great care of the house as well. Wouldn't hesitate to have her stay with them again. Thanks Jan!

We choose Jan specifically because she had experience in a Vet's office. We also are fairly overprotective of our dogs, because of a previous bite incident and our dogs not having been socialized with other dogs, so in-home sitting was our best option when going out of town. We went out of town for 10 days and during this time we got pictures and updates on our doggies and she stayed overnight with them, so the dogs felt comfortable the entire time as they were in their own home and just had a new friend staying with them for those 10 days. We had tried taking them to a local boarding place, but wasn't happy watching the cameras and seeing our dogs ignored during day care so we wanted in-home care and Jan did a great job, I cannot stress enough how relieved we were during our trip to see our doggies playing and resting with Jan. Would highly recommend her to other clients and plan on using her again in the future!

Information Jan B. would like to know about your pet

I would need to meet your furry child before agreeing to pet sit. We need to make sure that we both like each other and he/she is comfortable with me being in their home. I have experience with pretty much all breeds as a veterinary technician. Please tell me the basics such as if your pet has any allergies, if he/she is allowed on any furniture or in the bed, if/where you take your pet for walks, etc.

A typical day

I will continue whatever normal routine you have with your pet. The goal is for them to be happy and non stressed while you are away. Whether it's playtime with some fetch or tug of war, a nice walk around your neighborhood, or snuggle time on the couch.... your dog's normal routine will not be interrupted.
