The Best Substitute Best Friend

Pet care experience

I will love your dog and care for it like my own. My goal is to be the best substitute for your best friend while you are away whether that's from your house or mine. I provide personalized care to meet your doggy needs. I personally have owned English Bulldogs and Pomeranians for the better part of my life. My last Pomeranian passed away at 18 1/2 years old. I have experience with senior dogs, short-snouted and sensitive breeds, as well as high-anxiety dogs that require daily medication. I have experience caring for tiny puppies all the way up to giant mastiffs and everything in between.

if there was a picture in the dictionary next to animal lover it would have a picture of Janell. She is in love with all animals. it is awesome to see the excitement and joy from Janell and the animals she's around. The energy is amazing.

Safety, trust & environment

It's important to know your dog is being given the best care and I will ensure they are my main focus and safety is a top priority with any of the services. I am happy to care for your dog and follow the individualized instructions and preferences. I will do my best to accommodate and maintain your dog(s) daily routine for feeding/walking/playing etc. for specific times or preferences. If the dog is left with me on my property, I have limited kennels available on-site for when I am away or for sleeping. They will spend the majority of time out with me and we can go on walks and play ( per your personalized instructions). I live on 25 acres so if you prefer me to only take out for brief potty breaks and play indoors this is totally ok, it's up to you as the owner. I intend ( unless otherwise instructed by you) to keep your dog on a leash or in the fenced yard anytime we are outdoors. Your dog will be kept indoors the majority of the time with 24/7 access to air conditioning and fans as well as access to water. I provide a fun and hands-on boarding experience that gives each dog lots of love and attention. Your dog's health and safety are my main concern and am extremely cautious when dealing with high temps. and extreme heat. Unless otherwise instructed, I limit outdoor activities in extreme weather conditions. Warning: I spoil and love your dog while in my care and it's totally my fault that he may miss me when he returns back home to you.

Information Janell H. would like to know about your pet

I want to meet you and your dog prior to accepting to do any services or boarding. I want to make sure your dog likes me and I feel comfortable caring for him/her. If your dog bites or snaps at people please give me a warning. I have experience handling temperamental dogs but I prefer not to find out the hard way. If your dog is animal aggressive, a runner, on medications, barks 24/7, has any OCD issues, quirks, or obsessions ( mine eats bath mats and towels) please tell me so I can properly prepare. Anything you think or want to tell me about your baby is greatly appreciated!

A typical day

Every dog is given individualized specific care accordingly to accommodate what you as an owner prefer and what your dog requires. Feeding/playtime/walking/sleep are personalized to each dog. We will start off with a quick morning potty break. A delightful breakfast followed by a light walk on a leash. Indoor light playtime or a nap will follow. Potty break/light outdoor playtime before it gets too hot out! Back indoors to cool off.... maybe nap again. Potty break and indoor playtime with your favorite toy. Potty break time and maybe some outdoor playtime. Dinner and then outdoor time after the heat of the day. Then relaxing perhaps some t.v./movie before bed. Your dog will be kenneled only when I leave and for bedtime (unless otherwise instructed). The majority of the time your dog is going to be playing/napping crate free and supervised by me.

Availability

I currently am available during most of the day and at night to care for your baby! I provide specialized care that meets both your and your dog's needs. I only take on one family at a time for boarding/overnight visits or stays so you can feel confident knowing your dog(s) are my main focus and in the best of hands. That means slots are limited so you want to schedule as far in advance as possible.
