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.

Janice is exceptional. Great communication before and during the home visits. She clearly loves animals, and is invested in their well-being. For example, Janice brought over a snuffle mat for my senior pup’s enjoyment. Very thoughtful.

Janice did a wonderful job watching my two kitties while I was away. She is very observant and even brought additional toys to play with the cats. My cats loved her and were very happy when I came home.
