Pet care experience

Dog Lover and Cat Whisperer

I have always loved animals and have been taking care of animals since I was a child; including cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, goats, calves, pot bellied pigs, and many others. I worked at a vet clinic for 7 years, including 5 years as a vet tech. I have experience administering medications to cats and dogs, both oral and injectable. We live in a ranch style home with a large fenced in back yard. Our family currently consists of myself, my husband, our 16 year old son, 3 Yorkies, 2 cats, and 6 chickens.

Janel has stayed at my places and watch my boy Ollie many times now. I am so thankful to have someone to trust while I’m away. She always leaves my home very clean and takes care of everything. I always know Ollie will be loved and well taken care of with her. I would recommend her over and over!

Janel always does exactly what is needed. I have piece of mind at every drop in and overnight stay knowing that Oliver is well taken care of. She is always my first choice for a sitter!

Janel did an excellent job caring for my fur family. My dog is usually very anxious, but she made him feel comfortable and at ease. She even bonded with my very nervous cat, which was impressive. All of my other cats were well cared for as well. I highly recommend her for pet sitting!

41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Janel can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I want to know what fears your dogs/cats may have, and what helps calm them. Where and how they like to sleep is also very important in order to make them feel as at home as possible.
