Ear Scratches and Butt Wags

Mom at heart here - to humans and fur babies. I offer the kind of love that all living creatures deserve, especially ones that don't communicate with words. Being a mom to a special needs child has given me the patience and Spidey senses to anticipate needs, and pick up on cues from our non-verbal friends. I promise to provide a fun and safe environment for your dog or cat friend - whether that be in my home or any place when in my care. I don't have any pets of my own. But I have big house that I enjoy filling with the sounds and bountiful energy of someone else's lovely pets. I've had cats most of my adult life, and grew up always having a dog. My last dog was an energetic and clumsy Dalmatian named Kramer (yep, like in Seinfeld). He always knew how to make an entrance :) I work full-time from home (M-F). So flexibility is the name of the game. I have online work meetings and calls, here and there. But your pet will have a full view of me when I care for them in my home. My desk is set up in an large, open concept space, with lots of hardwood floors and a cushy couch for them to watch me work. I even keep toys near my desk for that impromptu 'catch' or 'fetch' session. And in between meetings, I will give them play time, potty breaks and walks. My back yard is large, but not fenced. If your dog prefers to run carefree and has difficulty with recall, I promise to keep them on a leash when exploring the surrounding flora and fauna of my yard. For neighborhood walks, we offer lotsa bushes to smell and grass to chew on. And for additional exercise, there are nearby dog parks to make new friends and burn off some energy.

Janet’s our go-to. Whenever we need to leave our boy in safe hands when we can’t take him along, we know that Janet loves and pampers him. He’s always excited to see her!

My doggies had so much fun with Janet! She took excellent care of them, and she takes wonderful photos!

We needed a brief respite for our dog, who is recovering from ACL surgery, during our daughter's high school grad party. Janet came to the rescue! She was the perfect, calming influence and has an ideal home set up, with very few stairs for our girl to navigate. Thanks so much for your help, Janet!

I am so thankful we found Janet, Archer felt very comfortable and she was able to help this anxious dog mom with her nerves as well!

Janet is great, very communicative and helped ease my anxieties with having someone else watch my dog!

Janet was fantastic and took great care of our dog. She showered him with TLC and sent us lots of cute updates. She was flexible when we had some challenges and was a great communicator. Definitely recommend! Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

While my backyard is not fenced, I maintain my doors locked at all times and will always ensure your dog is on a leash before we leave the house.

A typical day

I enjoy walking daily, with or without a dog. If I'm caring for your pet in my home, I will take your pup on walks and play in my yard or a local park. And after-work hours or weekends, you'll find us at a local no-leash dog park, playing fetch. I especially love dog parks with lakes. My favorites are Magnuson, Marymoor, Boeing Creek, and Willis Tucker Park. And on warmer days, I love the Edmonds Marina Beach dog park.
