Safe, Loving and Happy farm

Pet care experience

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 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. Doggy day and boarding perks….. - I prefer to book 1-2 pet families per day. - No over booking - No chaos, No stress, No anxiety - Individualized attention - Happy pet

Super appreciative of Janice and being able to take Maceo in on such short notice. She was great communicating with us, sending photos and going above and beyond to make sure our dog was comfortable. highly recommended!

I feel like the luckiest pet owner because I found Janice. She is so experienced and professional! She knows more about Bari since Bari stay with her than I do! She meets his every need, emotionally and physically. He needs a lot of activity being a puppy still and Janice’s farm certainly provides that! He came home after a weeks stay and I think he actually misses her! I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We’ve been using her for about 6 months now and are very grateful to Rover for having found her for us!

We have booked Janice twice now, both times for several days for 6 pets (2 dogs, 4 cats). She is prompt about visit times, a GREAT communicator, sends photos regularly, and has been flexible when we needed to adjust the schedule. She is our absolute first choice when booking osmeone to look after the furry part of the family.
