Pet care experience

Safety first, then comfort!

Choosing my service gives you more than a place to board your precious pet. It provides the assurance of peace of mind while you are away. I have owned dogs for 35 years, fostered over 65 rescue dogs and transported rescue animals since 2017. Dogs are an important part of my life. Your beloved pet will be well-cared for at my home. I prefer smaller dogs up to 30 pounds although Rover’s only option is 16-40 pounds in the size/choice section. I must be able to lift and carry your dog in case of injury or illness. I prefer to board one dog at a time. That way, your pet receives personal care and attention.

Zoe enjoyed her stay with Jan H. but was happy to have us home. This was our first boarding experience for our old girl. Jan did a nice job with our sweet girl and we would recommend her highly. Thank you Jan!

Jan was awesome with our Lucy! We received a lot of feedback and pictures - it was clear that Lucy was spoiled and happy. This was the least nervous I’ve ever been leaving her and the happiest Lucy has ever been at pick up!

Jan was fantastic! From the moment of the first meet and greet you can tell that she really has a passion and love for what she does and for the dogs that she boards. From consistent updates and pictures to recommendations, Jan knows what she is doing and talking about. Her knowledge and love for this job shows and her caring nature shines through. Look no further than Jan! Highly recommended and she is very organized. She loves dogs and is dedicated and committed to her work and it shows.

Jan took wonderful care of our tiny Poo-chon! From the first meet-and-greet I could tell she prioritizes safety, and she kept us updated with photos and messages throughout the stay. Our little girl clearly loved her time there with walks, outdoor play, treats, and lots of lap time. We’ll definitely book with Jan again—actually, we already have!

Safety, trust & environment

My large fenced yard provides exercise and my 2 female miniature schnauzers have welcomed many foster dogs. They are vocal, but friendly. If your dog likes to bark, we are fine with that. Toys, outdoor recreation and plenty of quiet time will create a comfortable atmosphere in your absence. When your dog arrives, I’ll take his tags off and set them aside. Your pet gets my tag attached to the collar. It has my name, address and phone number. My job, above all else, is safety. Should your pet escape, contacting you in another city, state or country is useless. My tag assures a speedy recovery to my home. When you return, your tags are back on and mine are removed.

Pets

A typical day

We are up by 6:30 AM and out in the yard for potty. Then, breakfast and more outside time. With a securely fenced yard, dogs are out to play multiple times throughout the day. They have toys, a pool and lounge to enjoy the sun. Dinner is at 5pm and bedtime is 10-11 pm. We always have bedtime potty time. If your dog is used to being walked because he/she is a condo or apartment dweller, I can easily leash walk in my quiet neighborhood.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
Jan can host up to 1 pet per night
I can accommodate special needs your dog may have. Pills or liquid medications are easily administered. After 65 fosters and 10 of my own dogs over the years, I’ve experienced a full range of personalities and situations. A quick note about payments… I don’t charge extra for holidays. However, if your stay involves picking up your dog after noon, I will charge $35 as a day rate.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
