Pet care experience
I’ve been a dog-owner for most of my life, and though I had to leave my pets behind when I went to college, I’ve gained a lot of experience! My current dog (10 years old) was mostly my own responsibility, since my parents worked full time, and in October she underwent anal gland surgery which rendered her fecally incontinent. I spent all my time at home cleaning up after her messes and administering rounds of antibiotics and giving her multiple washes a day. My dog is also quite mean and aggressive, so I know how to handle troublesome dogs (and how to trick them into taking medicine)! I also had four outdoor cats back home, whom I fed every day. Overall, I’d say I know how to do anything dog-related: I can clean up messes, calm them down, play with them, feed them, and look after them even if they need intensive care. I’m your girl for everything!
Reviews
Jana was my lifesaver! I was on a week vacation on July 4th week, and it was the first time that I left my two kitties at home since I adopted them back in March. She was very responsive and took care of my kitties well. She answered me back quickly whenever I messaged her, and she made it on time when she was supposed to visit. I really appreciated her taking care of my cats, and thanks to her, my July 4th week trip was fantastic without any concern. (July 4th is my BD!) I had a wonderful birthday week. I would definitely contact her again if I make another trip in the future!
This was my first long trip since I adopted my two little kitties and Jana was my lifesaver.
Very nice! On time. Walked the dogs fed them etc. will definitely hire again!
Jana was fantastic! We have two young rescues who haven't been socialized much due to the COVID-19 pandemic, so they're very wary around new people. One of them is reactive and quite strong/springy and has been a challenge to introduce to new people and experiences. This was the case when Jana first came over to house-sit for the day while my wife and I were away, as both dogs began barking and running around wildly for 5-10 minutes. Jana was unfazed and kept a confident smile on the entire time. She sent us pictures throughout the day and our dogs seemed to love her. We fully recommend Jana to anyone, including those with hard-to-handle dogs. Next time we need a sitter, Jana will be our first call. Thanks!

I care for pets as if they are my own—this means constant attention! I will make sure your pets are well-fed and relieved, and I will also clean up any messes they make. I’ll make sure to exercise them on plenty of walks and runs, and keep a tight hold on that leash!
Information Jana K. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know a few things about your dog ahead of time: - age - weight - temperament - athleticism - dietary restrictions - feeding schedule (if any)
A typical day
I love to walk around nearby parks and bike trails. I only go places where there is a sidewalk with considerable distance from the road, and I’ll bring water for your dog as well! I’ll also be sure to remove any burs or stickies from your dog’s fur.

Availability
Considering I’m a full-time college student, my schedule is semi-flexible. My availability is highest on weekends and Tuesdays and Thursday, while MWF is tougher (but doable after 4 p.m.).
