Safety, trust & environment

I provide quality care in my home by providing plenty of stimulating activities for the animals in my care. I have comfortable kennels, beds, toys all over my house. I have my own rescues that also love to play with new friends. I require that all pups be crate trained for safety reasons. I only crate during meals, rest time, and if I have to work. I now have cameras set up to still have an eye on them when I have to be away but I am home most of the time. My style of care suits socialized dogs the best or if you’re looking for socialization. We have a lot of play time and spend a lot of time together as a pack.

Information Janie C. would like to know about your pet

I only accept dogs that get along with other dogs. It’s very important to me that we have a harmonious pet-sitting environment for all the animals in my care. My priority is to keep everyone happy and safe. *IF your pup just prefers to be alone then I do have a separate playroom for them with plenty of toys. I’m flexible with nervous/anxious/senior dogs. I also require pets to be vaccinated with all core vaccines. Again, my priority is keeping everyone safe. Other important things are: allergies, reactivity to toys/food, and whether they are potty trained or not. I prefer fully potty trained dogs as to keep things clean and in order for everyone. I want to provide the best possible care and service so please be open and communicate all of your dogs needs to make sure we’re a good fit. Also if your dog ruins any property during his or her stay I do ask that you’re courteous and pay for the damages. It’s rare but it does happen sometimes no matter how diligent I am. We have a lot of fun and I have a lot of amazing customers! Thank you for letting me care for your little ones.

A typical day

I like to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We live near a park, which I like to take them too (with approval from you, of course). I also provide kiddie pools to set up outside in this heat and puzzles, bubbles, and various toys. I will send so many pictures!

Professional/Quality Caregiver

Pet care experience

I’m currently working part-time at a boarding facility as a kennel technician and I love my job! I also foster and rescue in my free time. I can provide excellent references. I was an infant teacher for many years and then I transitioned to pet care. I’m a natural caregiver and really enjoy spending time, while providing fun activities for your pets.

My dog stayed with Janie for a few nights and enjoyed his time. Janie is a great communicator.

First time leaving our Pup for a long time and Janie reassured us that our Corzo was going to be fine, and he was! She gave us updates every now and then, making us feel secured. I can see our Pup was having so much fun with her! Will book again for sure!
