Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Once again, Mishka got great care and had a great vacation!
Mara loved staying at Janet's, and we felt very comfortable leaving her there. Janet was welcoming, sent pics and updates, and clearly enjoys having dogs in her home. We would definitely use her services again!
This was my boy’s second stay with Janet. He was excited to see her again when I dropped him off, and reluctant to leave when we picked him up. He had a great time and was well-loved. Janet sent lots of pictures and video so I knew he was in good hands.
My girl LOVES her time with Janet! My pup always runs eagerly to Janet when she sees her and comes home with so much pep in her step. I feel very lucky to have Janet to help care for Trubbs.

Information janet d. would like to know about your pet
If your pup needs medication. How he/she gets along with other dogs. Your pet's vet name. And any special approaches you want me to use to curve any habits or behavioral issues.
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.
