Pet care experience

Your dedicated play pal!

Relax! You can leave town with confidence your pup is in good care, and you'll see photo evidence each day. I know what it's like to leave your loved one in another home - I've transitioned from Rover client to Rover carer since my smart, sassy Chow/Australian Shepherd mix padded over the rainbow bridge at the grand age of 17.5 years (I am well versed in senior care). I grew up in England with tear-away Beagles, water-loving labradors, and the most extreme of cuddlers, Bernese Mountain Dogs. I can't wait to meet yours! Your pup(s) will get my undiluted, dedicated care. I only accept one client at a time and work from home. Week days we'll hang out together and take frequent walks to the Sculpture Park, Seattle Center, and other local parks. On weekends we'll go further afield, especially if you've an active one!

We’re so appreciative of Janet again! Zella had a very long stay this time and we received so many cute photos of her daily adventures around Seattle. We’re glad our pup is comfortable and content during her stays with Janet! :)

Janet was great, incredibly friendly and took great care of my dog. She came back tired and happy. Janet provided updates and photos during the time.

I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Janet. She took the time to get to know him, sent us updates and pics and was friendly, flexible and communicative. Would love to have her look after him again.

Janet was great! She kept me up to date on their adventures and sent me regular photos. I really appreciated that she was super responsive during both the booking process and if I had any questions with drop off / pick up, and my dog was well taken care of. I'll definitely book her again.

Schedule

I work from home with the occasional need for 2hour excursions for meetings etc. I love to walk Myrtle Edwards Trail, Olympic Sculpture Park and Seattle Center all of which are only a few blocks away. Weekend hiking is an option and if your dog likes water, we can go for a plunge in the lake!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog-friendly, highrise condo and your pup(s) will be my sole charge when they are in my care. We'll go for a minimum of three good (30-60min) walks a day (morning, noon and night) with a final pee break before bedtime. At weekends we might go for a longer romp/hike depending on weather and your dog's desires.

A typical day

This all depends on the character of your pup! We can play tug of war or hide & treat-seek at home, go to the park to play catch, or even have a dip in Puget Sound if they are water-lovers. If you are working on tricks or obedience we can practice to keep up the good work. Or if they're a sofa lover, we can simply chill and snuggle (or not if they like their own space!)

This is all about your comfort and trust. It's wonderful to meet you and yours so we can discuss their needs and I can get a feeling for their behavior, your commands etc and provide some continuity when they stay.
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.
