Pet care is just part of my everyday life since it’s such a priority for me. I’m usually free most weekdays and weekends, and of course I also make time for Tink. I take her to Skiptown a few times a week since she can be a stubborn little walker. I love going on the rail trail, and having a furry buddy to join me always makes it even better!

Information Jana S. would like to know about your pet

Tink is on the shy side, and because she’s so small, she can get intimidated easily. As her mom, I just worry about her getting hurt. So if your pup isn’t a good match for meeting her, please let me know ahead of time when signing up for daycare.

A typical day

I love taking walks on the rail trail, especially with a dog! Tink can be a bit stubborn (total drama queen 👑), so it’s always fun having a pup who enjoys walking. I also love playing fetch and giving plenty of cuddle time!

South End’s Favorite Pet Care👑

Pet care experience

I grew up surrounded by dachshunds, so caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. While dachshunds hold a special place in my heart, I truly love all breeds and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both energetic puppies and older dogs who may need extra care and comfort. What sets me apart is the way I focus on making every pet feel safe, loved, and at home, whether we’re going for a walk, playing, or simply cuddling😍

Jana is THE BEST! Our little mini dachshund, Boo, absolutely loves it here and has found her BFFs for life. Since she’s only 10 pounds, it’s a huge comfort knowing she’s safe, well cared for, and having fun while we’re away. Jana is organized, reliable, and great with communication. We couldn’t ask for a better place for our pup. Highly recommend!

Jana was truly exceptional, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the moment we connected, I immediately felt at ease — she has such a warm, trustworthy, and genuinely caring demeanor. She took care of my pup as if she were her own, showering her with so much love, attention, and affection while I was away. She was also incredibly easy to coordinate with and communicated consistently throughout the stay, sending daily updates and photos that gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious in every picture and message how happy, comfortable, and loved my dog was in her care. I’m beyond grateful for the care and kindness Jana showed. Finding someone you can completely trust with your pet is priceless, and she exceeded every expectation. I would absolutely book with her again in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an attentive, compassionate, and truly wonderful sitter.
