Pet care experience
Steady Heart Canine Care
Boutique, Dog-Only Boarding • Personalized Care I provide a calm, home-based boarding experience with constant supervision and individualized attention. I keep my boarding intentionally small so every dog receives the care, affection, play, rest, and attention they deserve. My home is best suited for well-mannered, socially intelligent dogs who: • Are respectful with people and don't excessively jump • Read and respect other dogs' cues and boundaries • Play appropriately without being pushy or relentless • Have good house manners • Can settle and relax between activities I carefully match temperaments because I want every dog in my care to feel safe, comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely at home. WHAT I PROVIDE • Full-time, work-from-home care • Constant supervision • Small, carefully matched groups • Fully fenced yard • Cozy rest and quiet spaces • Individual attention and affection • Daily photo updates • Medication administration when needed IMPORTANT FIT NOTES For everyone's safety and comfort, I cannot accommodate aggression, resource guarding, significant reactivity, destructive behavior, persistent jumping, or poor social boundaries. Boarding is for dogs 1 year and older. A 15-minute meet & greet is required before the first stay to ensure we're a great fit. Drop-off and pickup are by scheduled appointment. Please arrive within your agreed time window. If plans unexpectedly change, simply let me know as soon as possible. My goal is simple: exceptional, attentive care in a peaceful home where your dog is treated like one of my own.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We were very happy with the care our dog received during his 12 night stay. A photo was sent nearly every day showing us he was being well taken care of, socialized with other dogs, and stimulated with play time.
Willow runs to Janelle’s door when she arrives, and we love knowing that Janelle loves and cares for her as much as we do.
The most unbelievable dog sitter. Leaving my dog with her and her amazing family is a gift. I can’t say enough good things!!
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.
Very communicative and took good care of our sweet girl for doggy daycare!
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.

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time focus. I work from home and structure my days around the dogs in my care, providing constant supervision, consistent routines, playtime, rest, and individualized attention.

I provide a safe, clean, pet-friendly home with constant supervision. Dogs enjoy a fully fenced yard, gated stairs, cozy rest areas, and separate spaces when needed for comfort or safety.

A typical day
A typical day starts with morning potty breaks, breakfast, and gentle yard time. The day includes calm play, enrichment activities, cuddles, and plenty of rest. Evenings are relaxed with dinner, quiet companionship, and a comforting bedtime routine.
