Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I make sure to schedule regular check-ins, walks, and playtime, and I can adjust to fit each pet’s specific needs. I plan my day around their meals, medications, and exercise so that they get consistent care and attention. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or quality cuddle time, I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, ensuring their happiness and well-being every day.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I tailor my approach to each pet and the service requested. For dog walking, I provide safe, supervised walks with plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks. For pet sitting, I stick to your pet’s routine—feeding, administering medications if needed, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I also make sure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away. My goal is to keep pets happy, healthy, and comfortable in their own environment.

Information Janie M. would like to know about your pet

Before I care for a pet, it’s important to know their routines, personality, and any special needs. This includes feeding schedules, medical conditions or medications, favorite toys or activities, behavioral quirks, and any fears or triggers. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide personalized care that keeps your pet happy, safe, and comfortable.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and entertained while in my care! Depending on your pet’s personality and needs, activities can include fun walks, playtime with toys, gentle training sessions, cuddle time, and interactive games to keep them mentally stimulated. I also enjoy giving pets lots of attention and affection so they feel safe, loved, and part of the family while you’re away.

Vet Tech with a Heart for Pets

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands-on experience as a veterinary technician, which gives me a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including puppies who need training and socialization, as well as senior pets who may require extra attention, medications, or mobility support. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and loving environment, and I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs—whether that’s a structured routine, playtime, or gentle companionship.

Janie was great! She is conscientious and communicated regularly with us throughout our trip. Our pets were all happy and tended to when we returned and she did everything we had asked her to do. We will not hesitate to use her again and highly recommend her.

Janie took great care of my cat while I was away for 4 days. I appreciated the daily updates and the sweet note she left for me on the last day! Knowing she had professional experience with animals as a Vet Tech gave me extra peace of mind. I would definitely use her again.
