Pet care experience

Safe, Loving and Happy farm

Training is at no extra charge when boarding in my home. My love for animals seems to be my weakness. I grew up parenting/caring for many different amazing animals-Dogs,Cats,Skunks,Pigs,Alligators,Birds,Horses,donkeys & sheep. I became a wildlife rehabilitator and New York State Falconer in 1995. I have solely managed a Bird Sanctuary for 5+ years caring for over 150 assorted on a daily basis. Aside from my seasonal 3rd shift work as a thoroughbred midwife, I currently own and manage Gotland sheep breeding on my farm. I am proud to say I have personally owned,cared for and loved- Huskies,Malamutes,English Bulldog,German Shepherds,Pekingese,Australian Cattle,Chocolate Lab,black labs,boxers and Golden Retrievers-. What I can offer is a safe and happy homestead environment on my farm located in the Hudson Valley. As well as compassion,loyalty, and the highest level of meticulous care in your home. Communication and honesty is very important to me, as it helps ensure a mutual passion and love for the animals in which I respectfully devote my time and care to.

Janice is such a warm and loving person. My dog took to her immediately and it was clear she is an animal person. She prioritizes making sure that your pet feels safe and comfortable. It is such a relief to have someone like her taking care of my girl when I have to be away.

"Farm stay was the right call for our anxious pup" We were honestly nervous going into this — our maltipoo is not a social dog, gets overwhelmed easily, and is very attached to his routine (wee wee pads included). Janice got it. She didn't try to force him into anything, gave him space to adjust on his own terms, and the farm setting ended up being perfect for a dog that doesn't do well in busy environments. What impressed us most was that she clearly paid attention to the specific things we flagged upfront rather than just treating him like any other dog. He came home calm, which tells you everything. We're already planning to book again for our next trip. Highly recommend for owners of anxious or quirky small dogs who need a sitter that actually listens.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 07, 2026

An extraordinary, magical, storybook place. We took our dog to Janice’s farm for a day because we had business in the area. But it’s worth a trip back as a destination unto itself.
