I am currently retired and a new resident of North Carolina. Pet care works beautifully in my daily routine. I would not need to leave your house for any reason unless I had a specific appointment such as a doctor's appointment or need to run to the grocery store to get some groceries. All of my attention will be on your fur babies! And I will send photos and videos all day so that you can see that your baby is being loved on, taken care of, and having fun!

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, your pet will be king or queen of the castle. Of course I will not spoil them, (but I will to a degree) if your babies are used to sleeping in the bed with you, they will sleep in the bed with me! I will do my best to keep them on their regular routine of walking, play time and mealtime! I want your fur baby to be completely comfortable and at ease with me.

Information Jan R. would like to know about your pet

I just need to know that your baby is up to date with all shots, esp. rabies! I'll need your vets number in case of an emergency. I like knowing his/her routine from eating to sleeping so I can keep it going while you are gone.

A typical day

We will play fetch in your yard if you have a fence. We can take walks around the neighborhood or trips to nearby dog parks ( if you wish.) I bring healthy treats ( ONLYade.in tje USA) if you allow it -- to give after potty breaks. I will do my best to keep you baby on his/her same routine for meals. And if you are working on special tricks, show me what to do and I'll keep that going! Car rides, trips to the park, games like fetch, lots of cuddles -- we will just have a "doggone good time!"

The Dog Nanny!

Pet care experience

You can call me, Janny, the DOG NANNY! I’m just CRAZY for dogs and I’d LOVE to “love on” yours! I grew up in NC with family dogs. My last fur babies were two beautiful Golden Retrievers, mamed Lucy and Ricky (Babaloo!!I )ave a senior Golden Retriever named “Ricky”! They were truly the light ofy light of my life! They were my children and I loved them so much. I will care for your doggies like they were my own! And I will treat your home with the same loving care. I will leave it sparkling clean! Having a sitter in your home, where your pups are already comfortable, is a great way to keep them on their regular schedule. Plus, they won’t have to experience the anxiety that some pups do, when being dropped off at unfamiliar places. In your home I can keep your pups on their regularly scheduled walks and playtime. If your dog like rides in the car, I can do that too! My babies got 1- 2 car rides every day because the loved it so much! I am also available for walks and drop-in visits I LOVE PUPPIES, but for understandable reasons, those that are not yet potty trained, there will be an additional fee. I LOVE dog walking, playing and sitting!! When can I sit for yours?

Mercy got to enjoy another few days with her BFF Jan while we left town for a few days. I always have the peace of mind that comes with feeling that your sitter has a true friendship with your fur baby. That's what Mercy and Jan have. They go for walks (reading the paper, as Jan says), watch TV, enjoy rides in the car, and more. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful sitter!

Jan was wonderful! She took the time and cats to really bons with Mercy, who typically experiences separation anxiety. Lots of walks, snuggles, and photos made Mercy feel safe and loved while we were gone. We will definitely call Jan for any future travel plans!

Jan did a wonderful job with my pup who is still in a teething mode/anxiety mode when we leave the house. Jan sent photos through out her stay and was in communication with me the entire time. I would highly recommend her! Thank you Jan so much!!
