Information Janette & Charles S. would like to know about your pet

Dogs staying at our home: - Are they cat, dog & baby friendly? - Can they go for a walk? Tell us what to watch out for (pulls, chases squirrels, barks/lunges at other dogs, able to slip harness/collar, etc). - What commands do they know? - Are they crate-trained? - Any dietary restrictions / allergies? Drop-in visits: - Provide us with a 2-3 hour window and we will provide service within that time frame. - How do we gain access to your home? - Where are things located? (Food, treats, litter box, toys, towel for dirty paws, leash, etc.) - Where does your cat hide and is it okay for us to go looking around your house for him/her? - What services would you like us to provide during our visit? (Walking, feeding, scooping litter box, playing, brushing, cuddling, etc.)

A typical day

For dogs staying with us: Dogs have access to our 5-foot fenced-in backyard for most of the day, where they can sniff all the scents, sunbathe, do zoomies, and play. Because of the new baby, we don’t always get to take the pack for a walk, but when time allows, we like to go for a long walk around our Edison Park/Park Ridge neighborhood. Our dog, Bella, loves to sniff, and is the pack navigator. One of us is usually home with the dogs, but when we need to go out, our guests will get special chew treats or peanut butter licki mats to ease the separation.

Jeanette took great care of my dog. She was communicative and took great photos. I knew my dog was better off with her than boarded somewhere.

First time working with them and they were great! We felt so comfortable leaving our two French bulldogs with Janette and family. Easy to communicate with and they sent us videos and pics every day! Will definitely book again!
