Pet care experience

All the comforts of home!

I have taken care of many different breeds and sizes of dogs for friends/coworkers and also as a foster pet parent. I have often had the experience that people say their dog(s) are better behaved after a week in my care. I love all animals, but especially dogs. I have found with love, attention and play, from the largest to the smallest, my doggie guests feel safe and enjoy their time in my home. I have experience taking care of senior pets, pets with medical needs ( diabetic, etc) and pets with disabilities ( blind). I had two schnauzers who lost their sight, one due to cataracts and the other due to complications from diabetes/cancer treatment. Consequently, I am comfortable giving eyedrops, injections and oral meds as needed. Your loved one will be in very kind and loving hands with me.

Janice is the best! My dog had a great time staying at her house for the weekend, and she made me feel comfortable the entire time! Highly recommend!

Janice is absolutely wonderful. I always feel completely comfortable leaving Archie with her because I know he’s happy, well cared for, and treated like one of the family. She’s reliable, thoughtful, and clearly genuinely loves the dogs in her care. Archie has such a great time with her that I’m not entirely convinced he wants to come home! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Janice to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their dog.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 05, 2026

Janice is the kindest, most loving and wonderful dog sitter ever! She has a warm heart and you can tell from the moment you talk with her. Lola walked right into her house like she had been there before! We weren’t worried at all while she was in her care. Janice is an absolute GEM. We will definitely rebook her again!

Schedule

I am a retiree and at home most days around the clock. I do some volunteering that takes me away from home for a maximum of 3-4 hours a few days a week, so your pet will rarely be alone. I always walk my dog and guests before I leave and as soon as I return, so that they are not uncomfortable during my brief absences.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard (white vinyl ). The safety of my dogs and pet guests is paramount. Also, I do not leave dogs outside unattended because of a) heat and b) barking. I clean up all waste daily so that the yard is sanitary and risk of disease minimized for pets and humans. I try to be extremely observant of my pets and guests so that I know when they are signaling a need to relieve themselves. I walk the dogs around the neighborhood or take tgem to the community dog park , so that they get exercise and a change of scenery, while having their potty break.

Pets

A typical day

We will have a grand time playing with their toys (be sure to pack their favs). My girl Czara is high energy, so if your furbaby likes to run and play ball, she will be eager to play.
