Kind, dependable canine & cat care

Pet care experience

From high-energy hounds to fickle felines, I've cared for & loved a wide variety of animals in my own home and as a certified volunteer dog team member at San Diego Humane Society. My 30+ years of experience with pets includes plenty of playtime, positive reinforcement training and Fear Free Shelter certification, thousands of dog walks, medicine delivery, and one-on-one attention. Dogs are my specialty, but I also loved and cared for a cat for 23 years and currently share my home with a 5-year-old rescued feline. As a semi-retired high school teacher, my hours are flexible. I have a strong work ethic and a long track record of commitment to animals and humanity.

Very patient with my scared baby. Great communication and motivated my girl to go outside and walk around!

Jane was wonderful with our leash-reactive dog, who always came home happy (and tired!) from her walks. Jane is reliable and her love for dogs is obvious. We will definitely be using Jane again in the future. 100% recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

All pet care provided at owner's location. Communication with the pet owner is critical so I can learn what works best for each animal. Each dog/cat is different and I will adapt my care to the animal's needs and what makes him/her feel most comfortable in your absence. I am available to provide care to animals in the greater San Diego area, including La Mesa, El Cajon, Santee, Spring Valley, Lakeside & Alpine.

Information Jane R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or is reactive to certain types of animals or people, so I can best prepare to avoid situations that would trigger a problem. My goal is to make your time away as relaxing as possible for your pet and for you.

A typical day

If your dog loves to run, we can play in your backyard or go to a dog park. If your pet loves cuddling or belly rubs, let the pampering begin. If walks or games of fetch make the dog's day, we'll make that happen. Let me know what your pet most enjoys and I will make sure he/she is occupied in your absence.
