Attentive, Caring Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog mom to my silky terrier, Poquito for 5 years. Before that, even as a young kid, I was a trusted pet sitter to my neighbors and friends. I’d love to spend some time with your fur baby!

This was my first time using Jana as we needed a back-up dog sitter at the last minute. She was very prompt at responding back to me. Our meet and greet went very well. Jana has an adorable 8 yr old M Yorkie. My dog Rosie (13 yr old F rat terrier) got along with him right away! (Instant wagging tails!) I was happy to hear that Jana only takes one other dog at a time and she had a big fenced in yard for the dogs to play in. Jana also takes the dogs for a few walks a day on trails near her place. Jana works from home, so she is with the dogs most of the day. Jana sent me pics & videos of Rosie every day. Rosie did very well there. Jana was also very flexible and when we had an emergency and needed to extend the pick-up to a later time, she accommodated us. I would definitely use Jana’s dog boarding service again when needed and I would also recommend her as a responsible & reliable dog sitter.

Jana was absolutely fantastic! We left our pup, Stella, with her for two weeks while we were out of the country. It was our first time leaving her for that long with a sitter, but Jana made us feel completely assured and comforted with daily updates, photos, and videos of how much fun they were having together while we were gone. 10/10 recommend Jana as your trusted pet sitter!

Jana is fantastic! She took amazing care of my dog and sent photos and videos everyday from their excursions. I felt so comfortable and relaxed knowing Jana was taking such good care of my baby! Jana is also super responsive and accommodating. Her yard is a great spot for dogs to enjoy the outdoors while being safely fenced in, and her dog Quito is very friendly and welcoming to other dogs. When I came to pick up my dog, she barely wanted to leave Jana’s side!

I am incredible blessed to call Jana my sister. Even though I’ve been close with her my entire life, it still sometimes surprises me how fast she is to put her priorities on hold to help me. Whether it’s driving me to the airport at 4 in the morning, or helping me move half way across the country, she is quick to offer, and I honestly don’t remember any complaints. I had the privilege of watching her get her first dog, Poquito about 4 or 5 years ago. I’ve watched that little dog completely melt her heart. I love hearing stories of her taking him to the dog park and about all the other dogs and dog owners they met. Jana has a huge heart for dogs, and I know she would love to meet yours! I would feel at ease leaving any pet of mine in her hands. Karalyn R.
