A Slice of Paradise for Pups!

Pet care experience

Hello I’m Janet, Lucy’s mom. I’ve been a dog walker and house sitter since 2008. In a former life I was a public school teacher and I combine a lot of those tools with my passion for dogs. My dog Lucy is a 3.5 yo street dog I found while living in Guatemala City a couple of years ago. It took six months and a team of dedicated vets to save Lucy but today she is thriving. I take Lucy, Gus, Archie, Mishka, Nemo and Ruby to an off leash dog beach every day where they run and play for 2 hours! Pick up is between 9-10 Play time is 10-12 Second Group Play Time is 1-2 If you are looking for a midday walk your dog would need to be screened before joining the group. The fee is $35 for 2 hours off leash play time. Or $25 for one hour of off leash play time in a fenced in area. I also offer at home dog sitting and have great references. If you’d like your dog to join the pack contact me! I look forward to hearing from you and your pet(s)

Janet was amazing with Saint. She made sure he got a nice workout which he really needs because of his energy level. He took a nice nap when he got home since he was nice and tired out. I would absolutely recommend Janet to anyone looking for services for their pets. She was awesome all around.

Janet has housesat for me, and takes my precious little baby girl Ruby to the dog park every single day. Ruby is a little bit anxious and needs a lot of love and reinforcement, and she feels so safe around Janet. When Janet comes to pick her up, Ruby acts like she's being reunited with her long lost best friend each and every day, and Ruby isn't big on people. When Janet housesat for me, Ruby had some tummy troubles and Janet kept me updated and went above and beyond to go buy chicken and make food to help her, and sent me regular updates. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Janet has been one of the most amazing blessings this year for me (and my dog Gus). She is such a reliable dog walker and loves my dog as if he were her own. Janet does pick up, park time, and drop off all for you and has your dog out of the house and active for over 2 hours. Her rates are extremely competitive and most dog walkers I looked into offered less service while charging more. She sends pictures, updates, and keeps you informed of anything you need to know. She goes out of her way to be accommodating. Janet also is flexible and as long as you communicate your schedule ahead of time to her she is able to accommodate most days that you need her to take your pup. She even does weekends :-) If you are looking for great service, a great price, and most importantly someone you feel completely comfortable leaving your dog in good hands with then Janet is the one!!!

I have a fenced in yard but I am not boarding dogs right now due to my roommates allergies. I do offer at home pet sitting and I honestly think it’s the best option for pets who have separation anxiety. For new dogs I use a long 15 ft lead that is tethered to me at the off leash park.

Information Janet L. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog fully vaccinated? Do you give your dog monthly heart worm and flea & tick prevention? Is your dog microchipped? Micro chipping and registering your dog are important tools to find your dog if they go missing. Is your dog Spayed or Neutered? Spaying/Neutering your dog is important for your dogs health and longevity.

A typical day

My daily play groups take place on a 7 acre island in Dorchester Bay. I meet up with a couple of other dog walkers so the dogs have plenty of dogs to socialize with.
