Information Janie D. would like to know about your pet

It is always helpful to know if a dog has any issues, especially around other dogs and people. I regularly watch a rescue baby that had a very rough start to life. We just take it easy, go slow and I give him lots of love and support. I have no problem watching a pup that needs a bit of extra anything.

A typical day

I will participate in any activity that pet parents want. I can do walks, trips to the park, dog-parks, frisbee/ball throwing, swimming...just to name a few. I have a vehicle large enough to transport several pets at a time. I love doing walks on the local trails (Lair of the Bear for example).

Cuddle Specialist

Pet care experience

I am hands-on and tailor my care to each family/pets needs. I have cared for two senior pets, puppies & kittens. I like all animals too; not just the furry ones. I work from home and have four of my own pets. I make my dogs' food from scratch; one has medical needs. I am with my furkids all day everyday. They get lots of attention and I would do the same for any other pet that I watch. In addition, I am certified in pet First Aid and CPR. I have a fenced in yard as well as a gate that separates the yard in half, should I need to do that for any pet. I have a dog door with full access to the outside and inside is a temp controlled room with dog beds. But typically I would just let the animals wander around as they please.

Janie was so awesome! She clearly loves dogs! And is just a very good human. Janie nows how to introduce them and handles them with so much fun and love! My husky mix Gypsy immediately felt comfortable in her home and had the best time. I truly lucked out that she was available last minute.

We feel very lucky to have found Janie on Rover. Janie recently watched our 2 dogs for 8 days, and I have to say we never had a single worry about them. Janie is such an intuitive animal person; we know that she would do anything to make them feel comfortable and safe. Before we met Janie, we sometimes avoided travel or did all we could to reduce the time away; we no longer feel that way and have full confidence that she will enjoy time with our dogs, who love being with her. We would 100% recommend Janie to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.

Fantastic, first time with an overnight sitter for our two cats! Very communicative, will definitely reach out for future cat sitting needs.

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.
