Loving and Responsible Petcarer
Pet care experience
Hello, Rover Community! I am an enthusiastic, reliable, responsible, and attentive dog and cat lover. With seven years of professional home and pet sitting experience, I look forward to providing you and your precious furry family member(s) with the highest quality care and service available. My intention is to give your pet(s) the exercise, nourishment, and affection they need, always addressing any special instructions you may leave and consistently communicating with you to keep your mind at ease. My availability is very flexible and I can easily work around your schedule. My latest housesits include: - Three weeks with Babby and Trixie, two outdoor kitties with a soft spot for belly rubs and games of “Catch the Feather.” - 18 days with little Marmaduke (Miniature Pinscher) who loved to snuggle under lots of fluffy blankets! - Austin and Mazi (Cavalier King Charles Spaniels), sweet, elderly dogs that needed extra-special medical care. - Goldie, an incredibly loving Labrador Retriever with moderate separation anxiety. She began having some digestive issues shortly before I arrived and ended up needing a trip to the vet. Thankfully, everything improved once we got her on a new food regimen! - A few cuddlesome nights with Gus (an eccentric, rescued Bengal cat). - 2 weeks with mellow and elderly Kloner (Australian Cattle Dog). He absolutely LOVED being outside and we would take indulgent, long walks in the nearby park. When we got home, he would enthusiastically dig around the backyard until he was ready for his nap in the sun. ⁃ 8 relaxed nights with Chevye, a 7 year old cat who required some medical care and lots of love. ⁃ A few days with lively and playful Chloe (Labrador Retriever) and her two feline siblings, Gepetto - “The Escape Artist” and Bella Cat. Chloe had to be let out to use the bathroom every 2-3 hours and was super enthusiastic about her walks! - Abbey (Mini Dachshund mix), Stella (Chihuahua mix), and Casanova (Dachshund), three LA city pups who loved their walks around the neighborhood during our 5-day sit. - Shilow (Great Pyrenees) and Jack (Scottish Terrier). We spent three fun weeks together enjoying each other’s company. I was told Shilow can get anxious with others as he is a rescue with a difficult backstory, but we bonded very quickly and he loved to give me kisses! Jack needed an emergency trip to the vet due to a super itchy bee sting and was fortunately able to heal his nose just in time for his parents to come home! - One week with sweet Mandy (Chihuahua) who needed special care due to a torn ligament in her leg. - Six weeks with Tabitha the cat, a mellow kitty who loved to nap the day away! Additionally, as an au pair in Rome, Italy for 1.5 years, I had the opportunity to live alongside two (sometimes three!) dogs and two cats, frequently taking care of them and the home while the host family was away. The dogs and I enjoyed 3-6 walks per day, and the animals were very happy to have me around to cuddle and play with. In total, I have housesat for 30+ families throughout the US and Europe, all with excellent reviews of my services and a selection of highly satisfied repeat clients. I am eager to take amazing care of your pet(s) and look forward to hearing from you! Iana
Reviews
Jana was fantastic! She was on top of our diabetic dog's twice-daily injections and provided exercise to be sure her blood sugar levels were safe. We have two dogs; both took a liking to Jana! We highly recommend Jana. She provided us comfort knowing our dogs were being well cared for.
If you can get her, book her! She was so wonderful watching our home and 3 needy pups. She went out with them in the rain, cleaned up after them and kept my house in order. I really can’t rave enough about her. I would hire her again in a minute!!
Iana was AMAZING! She spent a few days with our dog Olive while we were out of town and I felt totally comfortable with her watching her, but also with her in our home. She was attentive and caring for our girl while we were gone. So much so that Olive snuggled in bed with her every night (something she has NEVER done with anyone besides us). Olive was just so happy and relaxed when we came home!
My husband and I are new residents in the Santa Fe area. I have 2 cats; both of whom are quite high maintenance. One needs meds in the am and pm. The other has had pancreatitis and both are on 'separate' special diets. Jana was awesome in caring for them while we were traveling on a couple occasions. She stayed at our home and made sure our garbage was taken out and anything else we requested of her. She has a sweet, genuine personality and is gentle and caring with your pets. We came home to a very clean, organized house (didn't even know someone was here). I would highly recommend Jana to care for your fur babies! -Lisa
