A typical day

We will sniff our way around the block, head for the dog park (if that's part of the plan), play indoor or outdoor ball, frisbee, squeaky toy football, hide the squeaky toy, tug, run-through-the-tunnel, find the snack in the food mat and more. Snuggle up and watch cartoons or wildlife outside the window.

Pet care experience

I grew up with my miniature schnauzer Daisy and cat Leo. Daisy loved to play ball non-stop and to take walks around the block. I used to petsit the neighbors dogs, always spending extra time playing with them. I take care of my furry nephews. We go to the dog park, cuddle on the couch and invent games like "squeaky toy football". Safety always comes first when I'm with a pooch. Pick-up bags are used during walks around the neighborhood, dinner is always on time, and play replaces worry when Mom & Dad are away.

As always, Jana takes great care of my beasts. Lots of creative playtime and walks to the park. They keep her very busy I'm sure!

Jana was great (again!). I use her every time I am away. She keeps the dogs well entertained which can be challenging and goes above and beyond with "housekeeping" to make sure my return home is stress-free. Thanks Jana!!!!!

Jana was awesome with my dog. My dog loves her. She kept me updated throughout my trip and everything went smoothly. She gave me peace of mind which I appreciate. I highly recommend Jana!
