Information Janelle M. would like to know about your pet

As a former dog trainer and foster parent please let me know if your dog requires any special accommodations for their stay. For instance since I have a front fenced yard, do they get stressed out by skateboards or loud noises, etc? Where do they usually sleep at home?

A typical day

I live right by Marshview park. There are 3 separate dog parks! My dog and I also love to play ball, fetch, chase etc in the yard. Sitting on the front porch and greeting neighbors is always a fun activity!

Pet care experience

Hi! I was a "foster" parent for dogs who had run out of time at the shelter for 10 years! I fostered & successfully rehomed 23 dogs. I LOVE animals. Your fur baby will be treated like my own. I currently work part time from home and homeschool. So your fur baby will not spend a lot of time alone or without any company. Both my front yard and my back yard are 100% fenced. I treat all animals in my home like they are my own! They have as much free range in my home as they would in their own home.

Janelle is cool under pressure and when travel plans go sideways she’s got you covered. My pup loves staying with her and runs to her front door for every visit.

Easy communication. I loved how she sent our family pictures and videos to update us on Josie. She has a great yard for dogs to play and run around. I could tell that Josie loved her time with Janelle. Would recommend her!
