ALL DOGS LOVED

I have had a dog ever since I can remember and I am 69 yrs old. I have TIME and am reliable, because I am retired. I made sure my kids grew up with a dog and now they have my grand dogs which I love to babysit. I lost my last dog (he was 14) in 2018 and I knew I was going to retire (and travel) in 2021 so now I have my grand dogs and all my friends dogs to babysit and get my fix. I also have volunteered for Path of Hope rescue since I retired. I have a medium sized doggie door out to a wonderful patio and yard fully fenced with 6 ft high vinyl fence. I love dogs so much. They are just the most loving, gentle, and FUN animals put on this earth. I am a walker, so all dogs that stay at my house get walked everyday, with a ton of love and affection.

I can’t say enough great things about her as our dog sitter. We just used her for the first time and it went great. She provided so many photos and updates daily! She asked lots of questions before us coming so she would be prepared. We never worried about him while we were gone! We will definitely use her again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Janet is absolutely amazing. Betty was so spoiled during her stay — she went on walks and hikes, and Janet sent daily updates with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Janet is incredibly kind and easy to communicate with, and from the start it felt like we’d known her forever. We could tell Betty was happy, loved, and well cared for the entire time. I highly recommend Janet and would 100% book with her again

Janet has taken care of my pup, Josie on several occasions. She is very responsible and extremely caring with her. Josie loves her! I would hire Janet again and high recommend her.

Janet and I have been friends for over 50 years. She has volunteered with 2 rescue groups, she loves dogs, she is reliable, knowledgeable, and takes exceptional care of every dog and puppy in her care. Janet would be my 1st choice to care for my dog or puppy and I have recommended her to family and friends to care for their furry kids too. Janet would be an asset to Rover and any family needing these services.

Janet is a dog lover, and the dogs love her back! She is an awesome and reliable dog sitter to include regular walks. We have trusted Janet for several years and would highly recommend her services to anyone!

Schedule

I am going to start Rover on Jan. 2026!!!! I am retired, so I would love to walk your dogs during the day for you. (I am a daily walker anyway :) so why not?) If they stay with me, my home is perfect with a fenced yard, medium sized doggie door (but I do love and will have larger dogs too) and they will get a lot of love and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

While I prefer crate trained dogs, it does not mean they would be in their crate during the day unless you say it is needed if I leave the house. If not crate trained I would be okay if they are a very well trained dog :) My home is just me, so dogs will get that one on one attention. I am retired so I can accommodate any feeding/walking schedules that are needed.

A typical day

I love to walk and hike with dogs, always on leash of course. I also snow shoe in the winter if your dog likes to go with, that’s great. I have a snuffle mat that I made and playing ball etc is always happening. I encourage to bring bed, blanket, favorite toys etc.
