Dog lover/parent looking to help!
Pet care experience
I have always loved animals and my most rewarding challenges and joys has been as a pet parent. I have had at least 2 dogs at a time for the last 34 years, including special needs rescue pups. Currently, I have an English Bulldog, Goldendoodle, and a retired ex-racing Greyhound. Grooming, walking, and taking care of my dogs is something I have happily done for years, though not professionally. Their care, in all aspects, is my responsibility and extending my personal experiences to helping other pet parents is a natural fit. In the past, I have enrolled in dog training classes in and, in working with a behaviorally challenged pup, also received training at The Behavior Clinic (Olmsted Falls) in the “clicker” method to properly reward the behaviors we want in our dogs. On occasion, I have also opened my home to fostering dogs from several of the rescue organizations I have adopted dogs from in the past. Not concentrating on a particular breed has exposed me to a variety of behaviors and personalities. I love dogs and take pet parenting responsibilities seriously and welcome the opportunity to share with other pet parents.
Reviews
Shows up on time and actually walks the dog instead of just letting her out
Janet was wonderful with my dog Gunner. I really appreciate knowing that there are walkers as wonderful as her to care for my dog.
So happy to start working with Janet! My fur babies are so lucky to have such a caring visitor during the day!
Janet is the best thing our family could have asked for in a caretaker for our dogs when we need her. The dogs absolutely love it when she comes, when I tell the boys Janet will come see you today they wag their tails and get so happy. So grateful for her!!!

I do have a fenced in yard and my youngest dog is very enthusiastic and friendly with all dogs (he goes to day care for socialization). I have a kennel/create if needed. My dogs easily go to the kennel to get some rest.

I am retired, fit and active, and available basically every day to take care of clients. I prefer a schedule around 10am-4pm. However, I am generally pretty flexible.
