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.

Information Janel F. would like to know about your pet

It's important to know if they have any special needs or can't walk a certain amount of distance. It's also important if they come for doggy daycare or boarding if they have any issues with other animals. I want to keep everyone safe, so the best way to do that is to know as much as I can ahead of time. Also, important to know is whether or not they are potty or leashed trained. I have no issues making sure they use the restroom outside, but would like to be notified ahead of time.

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!

Pet care experience

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 am currently starting up a business but stay home full time to take care of family. Besides some errands and the gym, I am home most days and hours. When I am not, another family member is, and we ALL love animals. 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.

Janel was great and very easy to work with. I was in a pinch and needed a drop in visit with short notice.
