Pet care experience

I've worked a combined total of around 2 years in the professional pet care and veterinary fields and I got my first dog around age 11. I've worked at various animal doggy daycares, pet sit for friends and family, and have worked in hospital settings. During my time as a technician, I became too familiar with the crossing of our loved ones over the rainbow bridge. Even before the loss of my first childhood dog, even before I was on the receiving end of that hurt, I would cry with owners, I would empathize with them, and I would comfort them. Ironically, pet care is just as much caring for owners as it is for pets. I now have a new pup in my life, a fur baby of my very own and I couldn't imagine life without her. I want anybody that trusts me with their pets to know that they will be greatly loved. That they will be loved as I love my own. Aside from providing your pet with infinite cuddles, I have experience with administering medications and observing signs of illness or injury. I promise to be attentive, gentle, and respectful to your pets. My availability is somewhat limited, as I work full time. I am available all day on Mondays and Wednesdays and evenings virtually any other day.

It’s always nerve wrecking trying to find the right caretaker for your fur babies, to some they’re like our children. Janai is an excellent caregiver and caretaker of animals. She is very reliable and responsible. I 100% trust her to watch over my 2 fur babies if I were to go out of town. Your fur babies are definetly in good hands with her.

Janai is absolutely beautiful with animals and such a natural with dogs. From knowing how to feed, bathe, exercise, and give an ample amount of attention, Janai is always my go-to when it comes to my fur baby. She's extremely responsible and her love of animals is OBVIOUS.

Janai is a great person! Having pets herself, she has always been a huge animal lover and super caring. She went to school for Wildlife Management and worked as a veterinary technician as well, she is extremely knowledgeable about animals and their needs. I have trusted her numerous times to watch my own pets when I go on vacation in the almost 2 years that I have known her. We met working in the customer service industry and she is an amazing person to work with and extremely responsible, professional and organized. I would highly recommend her as a dog caregiver! She is awesome!

Janai has always been amazing with all of my pets. And trust me I have a full house of two cats and a very demanding chihuahua. Anytime I have needed her to sit for me or even just to feed and let them out during my many hospital stays she has been exceptional. She's very trusting and professional.
