Safety, trust & environment

I will your care for your pet as if they were my own. I don’t take pets currently into my home but most important is that the dog is comfortable so whatever the pet parent’s routine is, that is what I would follow (ie, feeding schedules, naps, etc).

Information Janice S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your dog has any special requirements such as meds and if they have any allergies. Please also describe your dog’s personality (ie, does your dog get along well with other dogs?, favorite toys?, energy level?). This will me plan activities.

A typical day

I believe that mental stimulation is just as important as physical stimulation. Snuffle mats are always a favorite activity for both young and older dogs. And of course, walks are very important to burn off energy. In this regard, I will ask if there are any special places that the pup likes to visit.

She did a phenomenal job taking care of my two cats - one of whom is an elderly cat that needs medications twice a day. Not only did she make sure that they were well fed and watered, she also cleaned up my elderly cat when she got some poop stuck to her and played with both of my cats every time she visited. I cannot recommend Janice enough - she was an amazing cat sitter!

Janice was amazing with my two cats! She fed them and took care of them better than I do! It was a treat for them to have her while I was gone. Could not recommend her more!

Janice is super communicative and was great with our anxious and high-energy dog! Would recommend her to anyone!

Janice was absolutely incredible! I reached out to her last minute because we urgently needed someone to check our 12-year-old baby girl for the day, and she responded right away and quickly set up a meet-and-greet with Scarlet. She was so kind, patient, and understanding from the start. When she came to care for Scarlet, she brought toys and treats, sent me lots of pictures and updates, and truly went above and beyond. She even stayed outside with her while she did her business and waited with her in the cold weather. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. I felt completely at peace knowing Scarlet was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking Janice again whenever we’re not available. Thank you so much, Janice!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
