Dog Sitter, Rescuer and Friend

Pet care experience

I live over the shop that I work at in Minturn, Colorado. It is a two bedroom and I live with my partner of 4 years, Charlie as well as our two fabulous pups Wormee and Starfox. Starfox is a 10 year old red heeler who was one of my foster dogs from Texas Cattle Dog Rescue. Wormee is a 2 year old 7 pound mutt who was found by a friend in the Colorado woods :0 Unable to find her owner, she became part of the family. About this sitter: Experience volunteering at animal hopsitals, working with foster agencies, natural health care for animals and more. I have always loved animals and grown up with them as a daily part of life. I love natural medicine and take great care in the health of all animals. I am experienced at different administrations of medicine and veterinary health care. I am flexible and happy to do daily walks or check ups, regular visits, overnight sitting and long term sitting. Why I love dog sitting I have loved animals my entire life. Beginning in elementary school, I started volunteering at veterinary clinics. I did this throughout high school. After years of solely watching how the vets and other workers handled animals, I begin assisting in all aspects of running a practice. Throughout college, I fostered dogs from several texas breed specific rescue groups. My favorite w Texas Cattle Dog Rescue, this is where I adopted my pup Starfox from. I also have had extensive experience training troubled and/or abused animals. My experience administering medication Yes. I have had experience giving injections and medication ingested in all manners. I am comfortable dealing with ill animals, elderly animals, or anything that entails acute supervision and care.

Janie has a terrific personality and our pup Ting loved her! She was prompt and professional. Not only would we hire her again, we would highly recommend her to others!

Janie helped with my senior blind diabetic pup, Beacon for an evening break/dinner. He'd pretty much let anyone take him home, however it's clear Janie shows an affection for fur babies. All went smoothly & I'd have her again!

Janie is a natural caretaker! She loves all animals and her flexible schedule has been great when watching my dog Chaco. She's available for afternoon walks and even does house visits to feed my kitties when I'm away. I'd highly recommend Janie for any dog boarding needs if you're up in the mountains.
