Pet care experience

Pet caregiving smart & local!

I love all critters, from tiny to enormous I’m ready to take a challenge! I started out cat and plant sitting for neighbors, and then friends, family friends, and now I offer my services to the community! I have been pet sitting for Rover for a year and a half in the Nashville area. I recently moved back to Montana, and now am in Billings! Happy to meet your pup for walks or drop in visits! I am able to go anywhere in town, but I can offer a discount for those in my neighborhood! I’m now available more for overnight stays 🌃

Safety, trust & environment

Always make sure to walk in foot first in case someone has an escape artist. It’s important to not overwhelm the animal when you first come in. I like to look around for anything that might be a danger- trash sitting out, an open window, something sharp on the floor. I like to check my walking routes first before taking a dog so I know it’s safe for both of us. I keep my eyes on said pet when we’re outside so as to intervene dog eating something off the ground. My dog loves trash so it’s definitely something I’m vigilant about.

Janessa was wonderful! We booked her last minute when our friend had to cancel. She was great with my kitties and was wonderful about sending us updates on how they were doing. She even got some pets from our skittish cat who is very shy around new people. 10 out of 10!

This is the 3rd time Janessa has pet sat my kitty while I was on vacation. Janessa always does a fantastic job, she's very responsive, and I enjoy reading the updates and seeing the pictures. Best of all, my rather shy cat loves her!!

Janessa was such a trooper! She had agreed to walk our dog during our son’s soccer game and when the day came, it was pouring rain! She still showed up and walked our dog the whole time.

Janessa was amazing like always! The last three months I have had to go away for work and she has dropped in on Mac each time. This past time my husband was delayed at work. Janessa was able to accommodate that without any hesitation! She came later in the night to make sure Mac wasn’t alone for a long time. I never stress when she is either watching them or checking on them.
