Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover extraordinaire!
I have always loved pet sitting and volunteering at the shelter! I'm happy to tailor my services to your needs and am available to house sit as well. Your pets will receive heaps of attention from me! For dog walks, I will walk your dog on average for 15-30 min, more or less if needed. I always stick around a bit to give the dog some extra love, attention, and play time. I do the same for cats in addition to changing over their food/water/litter box. I am not an expert in giving medicine but I have done it many times and can help your pets with theirs if needed. I used to pet sit professionally growing up. Starting in May 2016, I spent a year with the Southeastern Guide Dog Foundation helping to raise and train guide dogs. I currently am volunteering with the Summit Co Animal Shelter and have been for 6 years. I have no restrictions when it comes to pet size! Small or large I love them all. Thank you for your consideration.

Ratings and reviews
Jana was great! Super flexible and easy to communicate with, and I think our pup had a good time! Thanks Jana!
Jana was incredible. She went above and beyond with everything. I have a very big pack and she handled everyone with such grace. She made me feel like I do when a friend comes by. Highly highly recommend.
Jana took such good care of our dog and was super communicative and clear along the way. Would definitely recommend!
Thanks for stopping by!
We were pleased by the care that our cat received from Jana during our time away. Will use her again!
Jana is so responsive and helpful! She took great care of Zuma and kept in touch throughout the duration of his stay with her. Zuma came back home happy and well-loved!

Schedule
I work full time but use a lot of my free time to walk or hike and always welcome a fluffy companion! House sitting is the easiest option for long term care.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Caring for your pets will depend on what your preferences are and what your pet is used to. I do what I can to learn their daily routine (if they have one), as well as rules such as furniture allowance and dietary restrictions. I spend a lot of time at the shelter socializing animals, so to me the pet sitting experience is more than just switching over litter or going for a walk! It's also about just spending time with them, whether playing games or sitting and reading together.
A typical day
What I do with your dog will depend on your preferences and the dog's interests! Whether your dog is more interested in longer walks, puzzle games, tug of war, or snuggle time, I aim to cater my services to their specific needs. The same goes for cats!
