Highlights
Pet care experience
Many years of experience
Please read all my information. If I look like a good fit for your pet and home, lets set up a meet n greet at your home. No obligation. If you have multiple dogs, I recommend paying attention to how much someone charges if you have more than one dog, to be cared for on an overnight. I charge only $5.00/per day for each additional dog. I enjoy homes with multiple dogs, as well as the single pup. FYI - I do not do overnights for just cats. I have 107 solid five star reviews, and 50 repeat pet parents over the 10 years I've been with Rover. I have had a life time of experience! I've owned three homes, all fixer uppers. The last two homes I owned, I had the dogs come to my house. Both had large yards. I have no pets of my own. I do enjoy the company of the canines. You can leave your home and dogs in my care, with no worries. I'm available by cell phone pretty much 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. by habit. I have had dogs in my life ever since I was a young girl, in Berkeley. CA. My neighbors thought I would be a veterinarian, the way I liked animals. As a young girl, I had a duck named Duke, who followed me along the side walk. When I was a teenager I shared my twin bed with our free ranging, boxer mix, Andy. I had a flock of pigeons, and I would watch them tumble through the skies over the Berkeley hills. As an adult, I raised two hens from youngins and enjoyed fresh eggs in the S. F. Bay Area. My last cat lived to be 13 years old. Also, I love riding horses. I do like the critters. I have cared for, and trained dogs, as a profession for 13 years in the S.F. Bay Area, and now in the Pacific North West. For overnight stays, I need a bed that is larger than a single because I am taller than average. My experience administering medication: Yes, absolutely, I have experience giving meds. I also have taken a first-aid class for dogs at DoveLewis in downtown Portland. FYI - I worked at the University of California, Berkeley, for over 25 years. In my last three positions I oversaw the payroll for the departments. In my very last position I was the Payroll Coordinator for a department, and oversaw 350 employees' pay. I did a lot of problem solving. I am dependable and trustworthy, and I am very respectful of a client’s home, and requests/instructions. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I enjoy getting to know each dog and work to secure their trust in me. At the meet n greet I bring 2 pages of questions regarding your individual pet. I have a few private clients.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I wear a dog walker belt and the dogs I walk are always attached to me. The neighborhood walks need to be on fairly flat ground. I have a knee in recovery. I always pick up the poop on the walks. It keeps the neighbors happy. I stay away from all other dogs, because dogs are unpredictable. On overnight stays, I go on "poop patrols" once or twice a day, and pick up any and all poop, in the back yard. Please be aware, I will accept male dogs who are not neutered, on a case by case basis. I cannot care for any dog, male or female, who shows any aggression, either on the leash or off, towards other dogs or humans.

I feel so lucky to have found Jane. She did a wonderful job caring for my dogs and my home. I will definitely reach out to her again.
We enjoyed meeting Jane and felt comfortable leaving her in our home with our pets. She asked a lot of questions to get to know each of our pets. She seemed to genuinely enjoy taking care of our pets. We would definitely use her again.
Very detailed and prepared. Our puppy was in great hands and we had no worries for our dog or home while away.
Jane did a wonderful job staying in our home and caring for our dog, Ocie. We appreciate Jane's attention to detail and the high level of care she offers. It's nice to know we can leave for a few days and know our dog is in great hands.

Schedule
I am semi-retired and able to stay at your home overnight to care for your dog, keeping to their routines. I can stop by and walk your dog(s). I can also stop by to feed your cats and sift the kitty litter. The total fee for services may vary from the fee on the initial screen. Once we have a meet n’ greet, at your place, I take into account the complexity of the job, travel time and miles/gas involved. I will inform you at the meet n greet if the total will need to be adjusted. No surprise charges. Sometimes I have declined jobs, but rarely. FYI - any tips given to me through Rover do not have anything taken out by Rover. There is no pressure or expectation on my part. It’s part of the platform. And tips are welcome!
