Pet care experience
***Please note my availability states I will accept up to 8 “pets” at a time. I will only accept up to 2 small dogs and/or 6 cats for the same period. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile and consider my services for your pet. I think it's important to point out that I do this because I love fur babies, and any payment I receive goes towards the betterment of my own pets. If you are on here looking at this site, I can only assume you are looking for the best care available. Currently Accepting Cats and Small Dogs Only**** Since I was a small girl, I have always had dogs and cats as pets. I work well with puppies, senior dogs, disabled dogs, hyperactive dogs, and even aggressive dogs. I am especially experienced with happy, timid, shy, hyperactive, and unsocialized cats. I am able to provide medications orally, topically, or by injection. I will recognize if your cat/dog is happy/sad/scared and care for them accordingly. Being left in a new place with a stranger and new smells/noises/other pets can be both exciting and scary, and unfortunately, we don't know how your pet will react until it happens. My job is to make this transition as smooth as possible and provide a positive experience for both you and your pet. Drop-In Visits (Currently Unavailable) I'm available Monday - Sunday, just about any time of the day. I will treat your home with respect, and most of all, provide your pet(s) the love and care they require while you are away.

Reviews
Janice K. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Janice did a great got again, took loving care of my kitties and left everything clean.
Janice did a great job taking care of my kittie's needs. Just wish they were more socialable toward her. But that is the way they are with everyone except their human parents.
This was the first time using a pet/house sitter for our 2 Golden Retrievers. Janice was with them overnight and would check in on them, during the day every 3-4 hours. She kept us informed at each visit and provided us with tons of pictures and videos. Knowing that she was with them, and that they were comfortable with her was so reassuring to us! We are planning on booking her again! I can’t commend her enough for her professionalism and the care and love that she gave to our Golden’s!

Overnight Stays Currently, I am only accepting dogs under 15lbs. I use washable potty pads, or dogs can be taken out front of my house as often as needed (on a leash) to potty. My backyard is under construction and not yet ready for tiny paws. The front living area of my home can be easily separated into sections if the need arises. For example, if a particular dog isn't comfortable being around other dogs, or maybe I have a puppy that is causing a bit of chaos being part of the whole group. It's also important to understand that sometimes our precious fur babies have a hard time when away from home and can act out if they don't understand what is going on. This is normal dog behavior. *Pet parent(s) of dogs in heat need to provide protective diapers, specifically request separation (and duration of separation), or assume all risk of possible pregnancy. I have my own two toy poodles. They are named, "Dorothy" and "Oz." I also have two large guardian dogs. They are named "Stella" and "Beauty." Stella and Beauty will remain outside during drop-off and pick-ups; however, they will interact with the small dogs from time to time. If you are not comfortable with them interacting with your dog, please just let me know. ***Please also consider me for cat boarding too!

Information Janice K. would like to know about your pet
1) Will you be providing your own pet food? 2) Are there any restrictions for your pet that I need to know about? 3) Do they have any aggressive behaviors? 4) Will this be their first time away from home or having someone drop-in to care for them? 5) If your dog is an unaltered female, please ask me how that works before booking.
A typical day
Overnight Stays Each day will depend on several factors (as I'm sure you can imagine), however, you can always count on these 5 things: Regular Potty Breaks, Regular Meal Breaks, Individual Play Sessions w/Me, Play Sessions with the Group, & Rest Time.

Availability
Overnight Stays I work from home M-F. I'm fortunate to have a job where I can get up, move around, keep a flexible schedule, and have loud noises all around me 24/7. I will be able to interact with your pet frequently throughout the day, send you updates/photos as often as you'd like, and take your calls whenever needed. Drop-In Visits My schedule is flexible. All I ask is that you book at least 1 day in advance so I can adjust my schedule to ensure availability.
