Information Janessa C. would like to know about your pet

To help your dog feel completely at ease, we kindly ask that you bring their regular food and a familiar bed or blanket. This helps maintain their routine and provides the comfort of home while they're on their own vacation. Your dog must be potty trained (unless they are a young puppy), current on all of its vaccinations, and be free of any communicable diseases or fleas. Dogs must not demonstrate excessive or uncontrollable barking, or have a history of serious aggression towards cats. We board multiple dogs at a time! Your dog must get along with other dogs as well as children. Clean Guest Policy: To maintain a fresh and comfortable environment for all my furry guests, I kindly ask that pups arrive clean and odor free. If a guest arrives needing a bath to comfortably use the furniture and common areas, a grooming fee will be applied to the stay, price varied depending on breed and size. If you are booking over a busy holiday, please keep in mind that I reserve spots based on those who have booked first, not those who have requested first. If I have responded yes to boarding your dog, and you do not book the boarding, your spot may be given to another client. I offer professional pickup and drop-off services for your convenience. My transportation fee is calculated at $1.25 per minute of total travel time from my location. Please reach out with your address if you would like a specific quote for your booking. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved companion!

A typical day

Best of all, our home is nearly always occupied, meaning your dog will receive constant love, attention, and supervision. They'll have plenty of cozy indoor space to relax and vast outdoor space to burn off energy.

My wife, Dongmei, and I recently boarded our Golden Retriever, Sagan, with Janessa for an overnight stay. Sagan just turned one year old, and this was the first time we had ever left him with someone other than family, so we were naturally a little nervous. We couldn't have been happier with the experience. Janessa took great care of Sagan and made him feel right at home. It was clear he had a fantastic time playing with Janessa's dogs and the other dogs she was boarding. When we picked him up the next morning, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly comfortable in her care. The biggest sign of how much fun he had came afterward. As soon as he got in the car, he completely crashed from all the excitement and activity. Once we got home, he slept for several hours and seemed incredibly content. Any Golden Retriever owner knows that's usually the sign of a very good day. Janessa was friendly, professional, and gave us confidence that Sagan was in great hands. In fact, we felt so good about the experience that we've already booked her to care for Sagan for two weeks while we travel to China later this summer. We're grateful to have found Janessa and her family and look forward to having Sagan stay with them again. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, trustworthy, and dog-loving sitter.

Stella had an amazing time with Janessa! I appreciate all of the updates and felt very comfortable while we were away. She has a huge fenced yard that allowed Stella to play and let out lots of energy.
