Dog Sitter & Dog Walker

I recently adopted a Cockapoo named Lucy. She is a total sweetheart and loves people and other dogs. I previously owned my own Boxer, Ava, for 9 years. She passed away 2 years ago and so I started working for Rover to share my love, compassion and support to dog owners seeking companionship and enrichment activity for their dog. I am available to watch your dog during the week or weekends. Need a break from your dog so you can enjoy “me” time or have a nice weekend? Then reach out and contact me!

Daisy had a wonderful stay with Janice. As soon as I met Janice I knew they were a good match! When someone cuddles and plays with your dog, like Janice does, it warms your heart. She communicated regularly with me and sent lots of pictures. The peace of mind I had, while Daisy was there, was invaluable.

Janice was a delight. Very easy to work with and sent photos to calm any fears we had.

Janice was a very good communicator and provided me with many updates - including pictures - as she watched my pup. I was very comfortable with her caring for my pup. I would employ her again for sure!

Safety, trust & environment

I am a home owner that provides a 'cozy' and healthy environment. I have a large backyard and live in a nice area in Kennebunkport. I will always have your dog on a long leash to allow him/her to roam safely with me tagging along. I am someone who is very structured and believe that providing consistency & structure to a dog is very important. I do not believe in striking or hitting any animal no matter the reason. I will treat your dog with care like it is my own.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy play time with your dog such as ball toss, frisbee, rubber & squeaky toys, walking, and taking dogs for a ride. I also love to just sit/cuddle with your dog who may need more one-on-one time. I will also ensure your dog gets proper rest / relaxation time as needed. Your dog will be able to roam around my primary floor of the house at leisure. If your dog is not accustomed to a crate, I will not use it.

Janice can host up to 1 pet per night
I prefer to setup a Meet & Greet to meet you and your dog to first ensure a 'good fit' and I am willing to do this over the phone or in person. I will not accept any aggressive dog. If I determine your dog is a 'good fit' for me, I would gather specific feeding times, potty times, what your dog enjoys doing, if it is crate trained (or not) or if your dog is known to have separation anxiety, medications, etc. I would also want to know your specific emergency contact and Veterinarian in the event of an unforeseen emergency.
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.
