Professional pet care experience!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Janie! I treat all pets like my own, and their safety is always my top priority. Not only do I love animals, but I’ve been trained in understanding dog behavior and have professional experience in caring for them. In the past, I’ve worked at a dog daycare and boarding center, where I was trained in dogs' behavior and learned proper handling. During a shift there, I would monitor between 25 and 30 dogs’ interactions to ensure a safe environment, prevent fights and injuries, and perform health checks throughout the day. Also, for over three years, I volunteered as a dog walker at a shelter near my college. In order to do so, I received more training from the shelter staff on how to walk, exercise, and socialize the nearly 200 dogs in the shelter, including how to safely handle aggressive animals (plus I became very accustomed to leash-pullers)! During the time of COVID-19, I am taking precautions to keep you and your family safe. I have been fully vaccinated, and am happy to wear a mask inside your home if needed. My enthusiasm and experience make me a great option for you and your pets! Feel free to message me if you have any questions! :)
Reviews
Amazing! Took great care of my old cat :)
Janie did an amazing job taking care of my cat! She was so sweet and willing to work with my changing schedule. I would definitely love for her to take care of my cat again :)
Thank you, Janie, for your kind and excellent care on behalf of Colter! I was anxious about leaving my boy for the first time overnight, but your updates and photos eased my mind. Your patience is much appreciated!
Janie was super sweet with both of my dogs! She sent pictures and updated me frequently which was nice! I would definitely use her again if need be.

Information Janie M. would like to know about your pet
I like to know what is considered typical behavior for the pet I'm caring for. This would include their normal energy levels, what they like to eat, who they do and don't get along with, etc- this way, I can know if something is wrong while I'm watching them. I also like to know if there is any health history or other concerns to be mindful of.
A typical day
I am happy to take guidance from the owner regarding fun activities for pets! Every pet has their own personality and preferences, and no one knows those better than the owner. I typically like to get dogs outside for a nice walk or play session so that they're tired out when we go back inside!

I am available pretty much anytime during the week and weekends. I will give owners notice if something comes up and I'm not available, but I do not have major schedule constraints.
