Hi, my name is Jane and I’m thrilled to be your next pet-sitter on Rover! I grew up with dogs and have always loved everything about animals, ESPECIALLY dogs. I grew up with pups and they just make me happy. Period. My first experience with a dog was with our first family pet, Pancho, when I was six. We adopted him from the Humane Society and I learned early on how easy it is to bond with animals. My other most memorable experience with animals was helping to train a yellow lab who was learning to be a guide dog for the blind. I took her everywhere with me, including my school, the grocery store, etc., and it made me feel really good to help a dog give sight to someone in need. Pet-sitting has given me the opportunity to work many types of breeds and sizes of dogs. I am open to caring for all types and l make a real effort to understand each pup’s distinct personality. I find it works best when I speak with my clients about how they want their dogs to be cared for and do my best to adjust my care to their specific needs. I provide excellent customer service by communicating openly, responding as quickly as possible to requests and keeping in touch with my clients during their dog’s time with me. I also send photos and updates and make sure I stay attentive to their dog’s needs, particularly when it comes to giving water, food, potty breaks and making sure they remain comfortable and content! I enjoy being active with dogs and love going on walks or cuddling. I have experience giving medication and understand how to get to know a dog on his or her terms. If allowed, I will use treats to reward good behavior and make sure to give lots of pets and cuddles as well! Finally, I am reliable and am a perfectionist. I am always on time and make sure my clients’ dogs are fed and walked on time.
