Pet care experience
I love working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds. I especially love puppies and high-energy dogs - I'm great at getting them tired out by playing with toys, training, and running them around the yard. I am very patient with senior dogs, dogs with special needs, and dogs (and owners) who need time to warm up to strangers. Multiple pets are no problem - the more the merrier! I work from home so I am home all day except for short outings to run errands. If your dog stays for daycare or boarding, they will get lots of attention and play time! I'm very flexible and easy-going, so just let me know what you're looking for and I'll do my best to accommodate you. I live in a house with a fenced yard in a friendly, quiet neighborhood. I have a 6 y.o. mixed breed named Bowser who I raised from a puppy. I did intensive training with him to teach him all basic commands and good manners. He has an incredibly sweet temperament and has never met a dog he doesn't like. He also gets along well with my kitten, two rabbits, and bearded dragon. (The bunnies and cat have their own rooms and I keep the doors closed when other dogs are over.) Bowser is very sociable and loves to explore, play, and wrestle with other dogs.
Reviews
Our puppy enjoyed the time she spent with Jane! She's flexible and caring.
We’ve had our Airedale Poppy stay with Jane several times. Jane is great about sharing photos, videos and updates. We always feel at ease when Poppy is with Jane and will definitely be booking again soon!
Jane took such great care of Betty! We had previously taken Betty to a big daycare center, and it was a struggle to get her in the door every morning. Betty was shy the first day, but Jane had great suggestions about how to ease her into the setting. After that, Betty would jump out of the car and pull towards the yard. Jane sent photos and videos throughout the day and even offered to take Betty to the vet when a health concern arose while our dog was there. Betty was well exercised and very exhausted when she came home!
Wonderful experience! Jane took care of our dog while we went on a nearly 2 week vacation. She was very communicative and Mac had so much fun. 10/10! I hope to be able to bring Mac again!

Information Jane W. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know as much about your dog as possible so I can provide the best care and make sure they feel safe and are having fun. This includes your dog's energy level, activity interests, ability to socialize with people and other dogs, personality quirks, and any special needs. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes.
A typical day
Your dog will have their pick of the toy pile for tug-of-war, run around the backyard, wrestle with Bowser and the other dogs, take naps, and get lots of pets and snuggles. We will also work on training good habits/behaviors with positive reinforcement and tasty treats.

Availability
I work from home full-time so I can take most requests with at least a 1-day notice, including long-term bookings and short-term stays. I take Bowser out to potty four times a day but if I have a puppy over, we will go out more often.
