Doggy Day Care • Aug 18, 2026

This is my second 5-star review after several bookings with Jana. After Summer's first stay, I wrote about how patiently Jana and her family earned the trust of my very apprehensive little dog. Many stays later, I can say they gave her something even more wonderful: confidence and a genuine second family. Summer became completely at home with Jana, Tim and their children—hanging out in their rooms, playing outside, and even walking all the way around the block with Tim. By our last pickup, she seemed more interested in what their son was up to than leaving with me! What began as an urgent need for a safe place during work on our house became such a special connection for both Summer and me. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found this wonderful family.

Jana and her family provided fantastic care for our dog as we visited Seattle. She was very flexible and accommodating as our timeline and plans changed. She was very communicative and shared regular updates. And she definitely go to know our dog, as she was very perceptive of all his favorite habits. Would highly recommend for anyone needing pet sitting

Jana and her family have been an absolute gift. Summer is a very reserved, apprehensive little dog who has never stayed in someone else's home before, so I was understandably nervous. From the moment we met, Jana and her family were patient, gentle, and took the time to earn Summer's trust rather than expecting it. They cared for her as if she were their own, and I had complete peace of mind knowing she was safe, comfortable, and in such a calm, loving home while our house was filled with the chaos of repairs, packing, and moving. Summer came home happy and relaxed, and I've already booked Jana again for several more stays. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Jana is wonderful. Coco gets so happy and excited when she knows she'll get to see Jana! Jana and her family took great care of our dog with lots of walks, fetch, and affection.

Jana and her family have taken care of my 5 year old pug, Bruiser twice over the last year or so. I could not have asked for a more reliable, caring and happy place for Bruiser to be when I am away. Jana's dog Hazel is very sweet and has become fast friends with Bruiser. Bruiser loves hanging out with the kids and has way more playtime and walks than he ever gets at home. Jana's house has become his home away from home, he loves it there and I am thankful I have a such a great place to take him when I have to be away.

Jana took great care of Allie as usual. Allie loves their German Shepard and didn't want to leave! Jana kept us updated with pictures and videos of the dogs having fun together. We plan to ask Jana to watch Allie whenever we need a dog sitter. Thanks Jana!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard, love taking walks with dogs - whether that's one longer walk or multiple shorter walks, whatever it is they need.

A typical day

I will adapt to the dog's needs, if they like to play fetch in our backyard, tug of war, get some snuggles, go for quiet walks where they can sniff or walk at a brisker pace.
