Barking up the right tree with me!
Pet care experience
I grew up with Labradors, but I love dogs of all sizes – so much so that I found a way to volunteer at a local shelter even while holding down a job with rigorous overtime. But now my schedule is more flexible, so that's no longer a challenge. I've had experience with it all: bath time, fetch, house training, leash tugging, and dreaded mess cleaning. I have looked after the pups (and non-canine children) of my family friends since I was a pre-teen. I taught my parents' dog a few fun tricks, like pushing open doors – though we still have to work on closing them. I'm a dedicated advocate of organizations like ASPCA and Best Friends Animal Society, and I have no problems bully breeds. Just show me where their favorite toy is and we'll be all set! I'll also happily look after feline friends! As far as my experience with cats, I had my own domestic shorthair for 17 years until he passed in 2011, and recently rescued another kitty companion, Freya, in July 2018. DOG SIZE: I'll be just as eager to take care of your "Giant"/XL pooch, but if they are especially strong and tend to bolt or pull on the leash then for walks you might want to consider another handler. ABOUT MY SCHEDULE: I'm currently searching for a full-time job, so if you need a long-term sitter/walker please be aware that I may switch from being available on weekdays to only weeknights and weekends. But I'm happy to be the understudy to your main sitter, or take care of your pets while you look for the perfect longer-term hire!
Reviews
Jane is great with our husky! She's reliable and it's a huge relief knowing your dog is with a kind-hearted and experienced dog-walker/sitter. She manages our big, energetic dog so well!
Jane was incredibly warm and professional, and clearly took great care of our black lab. She was communicative and responsible, and cares a great deal about making sure our dog was comfortable and never alone for too long a stretch at a time. We were so happy to find someone we trusted, and whom our dog liked and trusted as well! We'll definitely call on her again if we go away for a weekend.
Jane is the BEST! We completely trust her with our puppy and love the detailed feedback she provides after each visit. You can tell that she truly cares about our pup and we feel at ease knowing Jane is there with her. Really happy we found Jane!
Jane was great with our puppy! She communicated well, updated us and provided detailed feedback throughout the day, was trustworthy and reliable, and really cared about our puppy! We are definitely looking forward to many more visits with Jane and having her as a regular sitter/walker for our dog!
