As is keeping our home sanitary. If your dog is not house broken you may incur a charge for cleaning or damage.

Pet care experience

Welcome!! Thank you for looking at my profile. I have lived with a variety of dogs and I have looked after many of various sizes and ages for as long as I can remember and have many regular visitors both through rover and separately. I recently took a year out from accepting new clients, but I am now back and looking forward to meeting some new friends. There is almost always someone in the house to provide lots of time, attention and play!! I now can provide GPS tracking device for one dog collar while they are in my care if there is a risk they might run and are nervous around people. We also gate the front door so there is no risk of them running out the front. I must be told in advance if they are a flight risk. We have added a cat to our family. He is very dog friendly and get on well with our beagle. Dogs must be cat friendly. If you are unsure, a meet and greet often helps us find out. We have a large, fenced yard which has had updates to make sure it is very secure. We love cuddles on the couch and burning off energy in the yard. We also go for walks based on the energy of the dog and their usual routine. My children adore and respect dogs and will let them have their space if needed. They also love to cuddle and play. It is however, essential to us that there is no risk that the dog will bite We adopted a very friendly beagle she loves being around other dogs. She likes to play but also appreciates her own space and respects the space of other animals. We try to follow the routine they are used to, to help them adjust. We are a very friendly dog loving family and look forward to welcoming your fury friend into our home.

Our dog was with Janet for a week or so and felt like he was in good hands the whole time. She sent us pictures almost daily and it was nice to see he was being well taken care of. He is an extremely picky eater and seems to of done fine over there. We would definitely be seeking her out the next time we take a trip.
