Reliable Daycare & Overnight Stays
Pet care experience
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'm an adult who does this because I love fur babies. And, if you are on here looking at this site, I can only assume you are looking for the best, most reliable care. As an adult, you can rest assured I'm not going to cancel on you at the last second to go to the movies with my friends or because I decide I "just don't want to" anymore. If you are booked, you are booked. I'm sure you understand if there's a death in my family or my house is destroyed by a tornado, I might have to cancel. 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 able to provide medications orally, topically, or by injection. I will recognize if your 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 pup.
Reviews
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!
Janice is great with animals. She's always putting their needs first and making sure their safety and happiness is her number one priority. They are always happy to see her.
Janice is great with my pets. They are so happy to see her. I have dogs and cats she is very responsible. I have given her my house keys to keep as I need her often when I have to work late. She had watched them when I go on vacation for a short or long time and I feel good knowing she is there.
I love the way Janice cares for her own pets - they are truly her family members. She provides so much love and special attention to each one of them. I would trust her to take care of my own pet in a heartbeat.

Safety, trust & environment
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 "Monty." Stella and Monty will remain outside during drop-offs 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. I will be offering cat boarding in the near future. Please keep that in mind. Once my backyard is finished, that will be my next project.

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? 5) If your dog is an unaltered female, please ask me how that works before booking.
A typical day
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
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.
