Highlights
Pet care experience
Let us cuddle your pets!
I've taken care of animals for what feels like my entire life. I have raised two gorgeous dachshunds and have two crazy hot dogs currently. Love both cats and dogs, and I enjoy taking the dogs for walks. I have taken care of both puppies and seniors, and both need lots of care. I take care of my friends pets when they are away, and groom my own dogs. I work full-time and am generally able to do walks or visits anytime on the weekends. I cannot block out specific times on this site, and leave things mostly as available, HOWEVER, I am free after 4pm on Monday’s and Tuesday’s. Wednesday thru Friday I am only free before 10:30am or after 7:30pm. So please keep that in mind when requesting services. Friends have either lent me keys or smart access to go in and care for their pets and plants. I will usually go in, play, walk and feed (or just walk and play depending on needs). I have taken care of their pets overnight while they're away and have stayed at their homes for extended vacations, if need be. My pets are friendly, playful and curious. They do well with both senior and puppies. All three of my pets are crate trained. The puppy is currently in the process of crate training now. I do not like to leave pets unattended for too long. Dogs that have not been socialized, are not cat friendly, or are aggressive may be problematic to board, as I do have pets in the home.

Ratings and reviews
Absolutely amazing and would highly recommend- Janel cares so much about our dog and his well being

Janel is so great, really good communicator and so great with our guy. Would recommend and book her again

Janel was great and the dog actually seemed happier when we got home.
Janel was great and very easy to work with. I was in a pinch and needed a drop in visit with short notice.

Janel helped us on very short notice—thanks!


It's hard to express in words how incredible Janel was as my house-sitter while I was away. She took such good care of my girls. I let her know how nervous I was to leave my kitten and senior super routine-oriented dog, and she was super reassuring, warm and provided me with constant photos and updates. I felt very at ease seeing how everything was going, she showed a true interest in and love for my girls. And she left my home looking better than when I left it. And when I got home, my girls were so relaxed, it was as if I never left! I am booking again for my next trip!!

Schedule
I will work doggy dayplay and stays around any dog walks that are prearranged. Occasionally, I can do last minute appointments, but typically like to schedule out the week ahead. I take care of my two dogs daily, so adding another to the mix is typically no problem.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I treat all pets like they are my own. I love animals and I will try to work with them as much as possible while ensuring everyone’s safety. I follow the owners requests when going into client homes and will ensure any requests or dietary concerns are addressed if they are dropped off.

A typical day
I love to go on hikes, whether short or long. We could go down to the Beacon Riverfront or up to the walkway in Poughkeepsie. Or if your dog loves fetch as much as mine does, we can play fetch in the yard!
