Pet care experience

Retiree to watch your furry friends

Hello, my name is Janet. I am a retired Accountant, a Chippewa Valley native, and recently moved back home from sunny San Diego. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend. I have had the privilege of sharing my life with dogs and cats and I will treat yours as if they are my own. I will stay at your home so that your babies are in their familiar environment and be less stressed. I will provide my own transportation and bring my own food, etc. Since I am retired, your dog will never be alone. I enjoy filling my day by exploring the local area and scenery - your furry friend is welcome to tag along if they are an explorer as well. If they are more of a stay-at-home type (a couch-canine) we can do that too. If your baby has special needs (injections or oral meds) please let me know - I have experience administering both.

Janet simply put, was amazing. This was the first time that our boys had someone else stay with them. We were of course a little apprehensive but Janet made us and the boys secure right from the start. We had an initial meeting that went very well and the 10 night stay went even better. Janet was tasked with taking care of our dog Duffy who is an epileptic and who had seizures and a vet visit on the day that we were leaving. She made us feel very relieved that the orders from the vet would be carried out...they were. She also took excellent care of the house. She was terrific at keeping us updated during our trip with many pictures and news from home. We could not have been any happier with her stay. The only problem is that someone who does such a good job is in high demand and unfortunately (for us) she is already booked during a time period when we again need a sitter. I can assure you that you will not be disappointed having Janet take care of your pets.

Janet met the challenge with flying colors! Our dogs are spoiled and upon returning from our trip they acted like she was their good friend. That says enough for me! She is a kind women and would be very comfortable having her sit again!

Janet took excellent care of our pups and kittens while we were on vacation. She gave us daily updates, which made our trip worry free knowing our pets were well taken care of. We will definitely be booking her again.

I am happy to recommend Janet as a pet sitter. We left our 21-year-old cat and 8-year-old, 70-pound dog in Janet’s caring hands. She stayed in our home while we were on a two-week vacation. She responded quickly when I sent her a text message. She also sent us pictures of our fur-babies.

Janet was so good with our quirky dogs--a big bouncy Olde English Bulldogge and a little bouncy Boston Terrier. They were happy, relaxed and healthy when we came home and were probably secretly hoping it was her at the door. :-D We will definitely rebook in the future!
