Pet care experience

Steady Heart Canine Care

Calm, Dog-Only Boarding • Constant Supervision (15 min meet and greet prior to booking required) *** pick up and drop off times must be punctual on agreed upon times (unless discussed clearly in emergency), bookings will be canceled or extra 60$ fee will be incurred if arriving at my home earlier or later then the window times agreed on. I expect complete privacy and respect of my home and family outside of those clear times. *I do drop in care for any size and energy pet. Past nurse/ mom who specializes in calm companion dogs who do best in a quieter, low-mid stimulation home. My boarding style is peaceful and structured, not daycare-style or chaotic. My Care Style • Full-time, work-from-home pet care • Constant supervision • Predictable routines • Calm but fun companionship • Gentle, age-appropriate play • Plenty of rest and downtime This setup is ideal for: ✔ senior dogs ✔ small to medium or large companion breeds ✔ dogs who prefer quieter homes My Home Includes • Fully fenced yard • Gated stairs • Cozy rest areas & quiet spaces • Small-pet stairs and blankets • Daily photo updates Important Fit Notes To keep my home calm and safe: • No high-energy or working breeds • No puppies under 1 year My goal is simple: a peaceful home where your dog can relax, feel secure, and truly enjoy their stay.

Chiko always has a great time with Janelle and her family! I love that we pick him up happy but not overstimulated, and we get constant updates throughout the day so we always know he’s in good hands.

Luna had a great time staying with Janelle. It was her first boarding experience, so we were unsure of her reaction. She bonded well with Coby (including sharing each other’s bed!) which helped ease our concerns. Regular updates from Janelle were very much appreciated.

I always trust Willow is in great hands with Janelle. She treats Willow like she was her own.

Janelle was so helpful in taking care of my little dachshund Fritz for three weeks as I went through back surgery and recovery. She sent me daily pictures and notes so I knew he was having fun at sleep away camp. She even brought him to see me one day. I always know that Fritz is well loved and cared for when he is at her house.
