Safety, trust & environment

Caring for pets in either my home or the client's home involves a personalized and attentive approach tailored to the specific needs of each furry friend. Whether I'm a dog walker or a pet sitter, the well-being and happiness of the pet are my top priorities.

Information Jan E. would like to know about your pet

Health History: Your pet's health history, any existing medical conditions, and medications they may be taking. Dietary Needs: Your pet's dietary requirements, including the type of food, portion sizes, and feeding schedule. Some pets have allergies or specific dietary restrictions, so it's important to let me know ahead of time. Exercise Requirements: Different breeds and individual pets have varying exercise needs. Some dogs, for example, require more daily physical activity than others. Help me tailor your pet's exercise routine to their breed, age, and energy levels. Behavioral Traits: Your pet's behavioral tendencies. This includes how they interact with other animals, people, and their response to various stimuli. Knowing their likes and dislikes can help me create a comfortable environment for them. Training Level: Your pet's training level. Are they well-behaved and trained in basic commands, or do they need additional training? Grooming Needs: Your pet's grooming requirements, such as brushing, nail trimming, and bathing. Comfort Zones: Your pet's comfort zones and safe spaces. Knowing where your pet feels secure and relaxed can help in situations that may cause stress or anxiety. Socialization: Your pet's socialization skills. Some pets are outgoing and love meeting new people and animals, while others may be more reserved. Identification: Ensure your pet has proper identification, such as a collar with tags and/or a microchip. This is crucial in case they get lost.

A typical day

Morning Walk: Start your day with a refreshing walk. It's not only great exercise for your dog but also an opportunity for you to enjoy some fresh air and nature. Breakfast Time: Feed your dog a nutritious meal, ensuring they get the energy they need for the day ahead. Playtime: Engage in some playtime, whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply enjoying each other's company with some interactive toys. Training Session: Spend a little time reinforcing basic commands or teaching new tricks. This mental stimulation is as important as physical exercise for your dog. Quiet Time: Dogs need rest too. Allow your dog some quiet time to relax and recharge, especially during the afternoon. Afternoon Stroll: Take another walk in the afternoon. It's a great way to break up the day, get some exercise, and provide mental stimulation for your dog. Socializing: If possible, arrange for your dog to socialize with other dogs. This could be at a dog park or through playdates with friends' dogs. Dinner: Feed your dog a balanced dinner. Consider using mealtime as another opportunity for training or mental stimulation. Quality Time: Spend quality time with your dog in the evening. Whether it's cuddling on the couch or playing a game, this bonding time is essential. Night Routine: Before bedtime, take your dog for a short walk to help them relax. Make sure they have a comfortable sleeping area.

Jan looks after my babies and my place as if they were his own. I love getting updates on his adventures with my little gang of miscreants, and the peace of mind I have knowing that my cats are safe and well-cared for is utterly priceless.

Jan is genuinely one of the nicest people and most responsible caretakers I have ever met. He is an excellent steward of my space, and my cats, even the one with diagnosed anxiety, always seem calm and happy when I return. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
