Pet care is a consistent and important part of my daily routine. I start each day by making sure my pet has fresh food and water, and I take time for morning exercise or a walk if needed. Throughout the day, I check in to ensure their needs are met: this could include bathroom breaks, playtime, or simply giving them attention and affection. In the evening, I make time for feeding, grooming, and a bit of bonding or training. Pet care has helped me build structure into my day and has taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of routine.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I prioritize safety, routine, and individual attention based on the pet’s needs. I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medication, exercise routines, and any behavioral notes. I ensure pets have access to fresh water at all times, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of enrichment through play, walks, or companionship. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow their rules closely to keep the pet in a familiar, stress-free setting. I keep communication open with regular updates, photos, or messages to assure the owner that their pet is happy and well cared for.
Information Janaya C. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care possible, I like to know a few important things ahead of time: your pet’s daily routine, energy level, any medical needs, dietary restrictions, or allergies, and how they typically react to new people or other animals. It’s also helpful to know if they have any fears or triggers (like loud noises or separation anxiety), their favorite activities or toys, and any specific training or commands they know. The more I know, the more comfortable and happy your pet will be while you're away!
A typical day
When I care for pets, I make sure they’re engaged, active, and having fun! Whether it’s going on walks, playing fetch, or exploring a favorite park, I tailor activities to match each pet’s personality and energy level. For more relaxed pets, I offer plenty of cuddle time, gentle play, and enrichment activities like treat puzzles or calm brushing sessions. I love using toys, games, and positive reinforcement to keep pets mentally and physically stimulated while making sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home.

Pet care experience
When I was younger, I used to take my elderly neighbors dog for walks. His name was Buddy. I would look forward to that every day. Growing up, I’ve had multiple animals. My family has taken care of chickens, goats, dogs, cats, etc. My grandma has such a kind heart, so I have seen her take in all types of stray animals. Right now she’s taking care of kittens. So, I have helped raise all of these types of animals. I currently have two cats. Their names are Lydia and Astrid. They both have very different personalities. One loves to be touched on her terms, the other welcomes any type of physical contact. Lydia loves to cuddle when she is the one initiating it, however, she is more playful. Astrid seeks out contact by jumping on you, rubbing herself on you, or yelling at you, she needs all of the attention. Astrid is more affectionate. Lydia is more playful. I have recently lost my dog that I grew up with. She was the most precious and patient dog a person could ask for. She had health issues that were accommodated until she got too old to comfortably live. We miss her every day and she can never be replaced. I hope to care for an individuals animal and the way that I hope they’d care for mine. Their person is their whole life, so providing happiness and love is all that matters!
Reviews
I loved Janaya and I’m sure my pup too! She took care of my doggy for the weekend in our house while we were on a birthday getaway. She kept me updated with messages and photos and that made my getaway stress free. I would recommend and book her again and again if she’s available. She met my expectations, Janaya was amazing ! You can trust and count on her :) 💕
Loving and kind! A friend who watched my pets while on vacation. She cares and values animals and that can be seen in the way she treats them. 10/10 recommend.
