Highlights
Pet care experience
He will be spoiled more than my kid
I stand out as a dog sitter because I’m not just experienced. I’m truly passionate. As a mother who grew up with dogs, caring for them comes naturally to me. I’m home most of the time, so your dog will always have attention, affection, and supervision. My adult children also love dogs, creating a warm, safe environment. I’ve had four dogs back home in Lebanon whom I deeply miss, so I treat every dog I care for like my own spoiling them with love, long walks, and constant companionship.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Janine kept me updated with photos and is clearly very dedicated to taking good care of your dog while they are with her. My dog ended up having gastro issues while with her and she cooked her plain rice to help her tummy and cancelled plans so that she could be home with my dog during her stay with her.
I’m Janine’s nephew, and she’s watched my dog multiple times over the years, every single time I had a trip coming up, she was the first person I called. No hesitation. What I can tell you is that my dog, junior, would literally get excited pulling up to her place. Like tail going crazy, jumping at the door. That says everything. She never just “babysat” him, she actually took care of him like he was her own. Made sure he ate on time, got his walks, had his little routines respected. She’d even send me updates without me asking, just so I could travel stress-free. That kind of thing you can’t fake. Janine is one of those people who’s naturally organized without making it feel cold or clinical. She genuinely loves animals, you can feel it. It’s not a side hustle for her, it’s something she actually cares about. Every time I came back to pick up Junior, he was happy, healthy, and honestly looked a little sad to leave. If I could leave my dog with one person for the rest of his life, no contest, it’s Janine. I trust her completely in every aspect, and that’s not something I say easily when it comes to my dog. 10/10, don’t hesitate.
I highly recommend Janine as a pet sitter. She has taken care of my dogs multiple times, and every experience has been amazing. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. My dogs are always happy and comfortable with her, which gives me so much peace of mind. She keeps me updated, and goes above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect.
I’m her niece, and she always takes such great care of my dog. She’s patient, loving, and very responsible, and treats every pet like her own. I always feel completely at ease knowing my dog is with her—anyone who chooses her will be in great hands.
I think Janine would be an exceptional pet sitter because she truly loves what she does. She has a natural compassion for animals especially dogs and it shows in the way she cares for them. She’s very affectionate and attentive, loves to cuddle with them, play, and make sure they feel safe and happy. She’s also really energetic and enthusiastic, which makes her great with dogs of all personalities. You can tell she genuinely enjoys spending time with them and taking care of them.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I spend most of my time at home and don't go out often. This allows me to be present, attentive, and consistent with a pet's needs, whether that's feeding, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. I do have a few fixed commitments: I attend a belly dance class on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 7:00 p.m., where I'm out for about two hours. I also have short commitments on Friday mornings at 10:30 a.m. and Sundays at 5:00 p.m. Aside from these times, I am usually home and fully available. Overall, my lifestyle is calm and structured, which I think is ideal for caring for pets. I'm reliable, attentive to routines, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, calm, and clean environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I live on the first floor and have a small garden, which is great for fresh air and safe outdoor time. Everyone in my home loves dogs and has grown up around them, so pets are always treated with care and affection. I closely follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, and routines, and make sure pets are never left alone for long. My goal is to make them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.
A typical day
I love keeping dogs active and happy! I enjoy playing fetch with a tennis ball, going on walks, and spending time outdoors. I also like engaging them with light training, interactive play, and giving them lots of attention and affection.
