Information Janet S. would like to know about your pet

I ask that dogs be comfortable around children. It is also helpful to know any specific commands that you use and what you dispense treats for. A bath in advance of your dogs stay is much appreciated.

A typical day

When it is cool, after a quick morning walk, I like to play catch on our sport court with the dog. Around midday, I take a medium length walk and at night, depending on the breed, I go for a longer walk. I also play catch inside and tug-of-war (again, depending on the breed). The dog gets to sit next to me on their bed while I work with frequent pets and praise.

Pet care experience

I spent my early childhood with a golden retriever. I understand the need for exercise and play. As an adult, I raised 2 English Bulldogs with many health needs who were big cuddlers. I have extensive experience with grooming dogs with face folds, cleaning ears, making specialized food, and administering medicine.

Janet took great care of our Collie Ace. He enjoyed long walks and lots of attention. I highly recommend Janet. We look forward to Ace's next booking with Janet.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
