I love them all! Big or small!

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover all my life, and I grew up with dogs both big and small. I have experience as a foster family for a rescue, and we had over 100 dogs living with us over the years, so I am familiar with puppies, young adults and seniors of many different breeds. My own dog had heart disease at the end of his life, so I understand the special needs of seniors and special needs dogs. I do pet care full-time, so I am available weekdays as well as weekends, and am interested in long term regular clients as well as those needing care just for a day or two.

Janelle has been walking our pup a couple times a week for the last year; both we and our dog think she's fantastic! She's communicative, flexible, consistent, and is great with our dog, who has some quirks. We can't recommend her highly enough, whether you need your dog looked after once, or over and over and over

Stellar care as always. Janelle was available to help w drop-in care for my two cats. The cats always seem happy and well cared for when i get home. I trust Janelle completely and am grateful to have her help.

Janelle has taken care of our cat several times and is always wonderful with both her care and communication. She will be our regular pet sitter for as long as she wants!

Janelle has been wonderful with our dog, Stella! She took the time to learn what Stella needed. We have rebooked with her a handful of times and been so happy!

Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely cautious about dog safety and do not let dogs off leash unless we are in a secured area. I also will follow your instructions carefully about contact with other dogs and strangers. Safety first!

Information Janelle S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special medical or emotional needs or likes to have things done in a particular way. Also, some dogs are reactive to others while leash-walking so please let me know this in advance. Each dog has its own personality and I want to make your pet comfortable and happy!

A typical day

I love to play fetch or tug with dogs, and can reinforce obedience training if your dog has a particular issue you are working on with them. I will walk your dog in your neighborhood or another location if you prefer.

Availability

For people needing mid-day dog walks, I schedule in two hour windows from 10:00 am -2:30 pm, and can't make arrangements for a specific time unless there is a pressing need, such as medication etc. My schedule is more open in the morning/late afternoon and I can usually do late afternoon walks if you have to stay late at work. I generally do cat drop ins early or late in the day. My general hours of availability are 8:00 am until 6:00 pm, but you can ask about making an occasional exception in the evening. I am also available for extended drop-ins such as at an AirB&B - ask me about those rates. I also charge a $10 travel fee per visit for distances more than 10 miles from my home (near Hannafords on Shelburne Road).
