INTERNATIONAL IN HOME PET CARE!
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of animals since I was old enough to walk. I’ve traveled across the country to take care of all kinds of pets for family and friends. I’ve fostered and volunteered for shelters in Colorado and Oregon. Besides lots of dogs and cats, I’ve cared for chickens, horses, goats, snakes, fish, tarantulas, and birds, as well as mice and rats. I’ve fostered litters of kittens and puppies. And I’ve made friends with animals, and animal lovers, all over the world! In general, you’ll always find me on the floor playing with the pets, or outside finding and interacting with animals of any variety.
Reviews
Jan could not have been more wonderful with my anxious boy! He doesn’t do great with strangers, but Jan made him feel safe from the start.
I had a great meet and greet with Jan and immediately liked her as she is very personable. She took great care of my cat and I will definitely use her again. Nothing but kudos for Jan.
Jan is wonderful! She is a joy to know and is very loving towards our little Bella! She is very experienced and we would like her to care for Bella as needed in the future. We have already recommended her to family members. Thank you so much, Jan for responding at the last minute and for taking care of Bella during our short trip to New Mexico! Beth and Carl
Jan is fantastic- our puppies really like her and we appreciate how reliable and thorough she is!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take dogs walking as much as they have the interest and ability to be out. Safety is always on my mind, both inside and out, to keep us all safe and secure. In the home I play and snuggle with pets as much as possible, or allow them time and space to rest in or out of a crate if they prefer. I watch and listen for cues from animals when they’re communicating what they like or need. When I fostered pups from the humane society recently, I kept them in the bathroom with a kid gate, and the crate was in the walk in shower, where they could hide away for a rest.
Information Jan T. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about any special needs your pet may have, and I can accommodate most special circumstances. For pets not well socialized I use a different protocol, learned from fostering and adopting shelter animals.
A typical day
I love to play with the fur babies and experiment to see what interests them the most. I find the toys and treats, and pets soon learn to follow me around for some fun.

Availability
My schedule is usually flexible so I’m available for pet care most days, and able to work with your timelines, given enough notice. The time I set aside for family play and care will appear as not available on my calendar.
