Safety, trust & environment

My approach to pet care is always personalized to meet the unique needs of each animal, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness. Depending on the services requested, here’s how I typically provide care: Feeding: I follow the specific dietary instructions provided by the pet owner, including portion size, feeding times, and any special dietary needs or restrictions. I make sure fresh water is always available. Medication: If pets require medication, I administer it carefully according to the owner’s directions. This includes pills, topical treatments, or any other prescribed care, while closely monitoring the pet for any side effects or changes in behavior. Walking and Exercise: For dogs, regular walks tailored to their energy levels and physical condition are a priority. I ensure they get enough exercise and bathroom breaks to keep them healthy and happy. I’m attentive to leash safety and environmental conditions during walks. Play and Enrichment: Pets receive plenty of interactive playtime, stimulation, and affection to keep them mentally engaged and emotionally satisfied. This might include playing with toys, training exercises, or just spending quiet cuddle time. Comfort and Supervision: I maintain a safe and calm environment, making sure pets have a cozy space to rest and feel secure. I monitor their behavior closely to detect any signs of stress, illness, or discomfort. Communication: I keep pet owners updated regularly with photos, messages, or videos, sharing how their pet is doing and any noteworthy observations.

Janice is the best dog sitter we have had. She took care of our babies with great care. She sent us updates daily. We knew our dogs were in great hands. We would use her again in a heartbeat. I cannot say enough good things about her.

I’d like to tell you about an accommodating animal sitter recommended to me. Janice had watched my sister’s dog. I was in need of someone to care for my cat and aviary of canaries. I was gone a week and Janice was willing to go to the store to pickup fresh greens and boil eggs as needed for their dietary needs. Would definitely recommend.

Janice did a great job watching the dog and always on schedule. The dog loved Janice and the walks around the civic center, I will use her again.

Retiring soon, I work from home. I can’t really have a dog. I look forward to spending meaningful time with animals and sharing unconditional love with your furry friend while you’re away from home.
