Full attention & love for your pet

Pet care experience

Spending furry time is my favorite time. I’ve had pets around me all my life except the last few years when I moved into an apartment. Luckily my friends in Rockridge and Montclair ask me to watch their pets and their home from time to time. I also used to be able to give belly rubs at work when coworkers brought their pets in, but since March last year I have been working from home. And now I am in dire need of more barks, some cat hair on my lap, and a serious cuddle time. UPDATE: Since March 2022, I have to go into office 2 days per week (usually Tue/Wed). My office is dog-friendly and if your dog is also friendly, he/she can accompany me. We can take frequent walks in the neighborhood and there might even be 1 or 2 other pups in the office to play with. I love all animals, but especially ❤️big dogs. As a former homeowner, I also know what is required to responsibly stay at someone’s home and take care of it. I am very clean, organized and will communicate with you as much as you would like during my stay. I am a nature and fitness enthusiast, and I already have a daily walking routine, which your dogs will love. At home, I am pretty quiet and love a good book, and I happily lend my lap to any cat that might want it. 😁

Janine was fantastic with our dog, Chucky! She sent daily updates with cute pictures and seemed to genuinely enjoy her time with him. She also left our house as neat (or neater!) than she found it! We will definitely be contacting Janine again next time we’re out of town!

Janine house-sitted our dog and two cats for four days. Everything went smoothly and the pets were very happy. Janine texted us regular updates. I can only highly recommend Janine.

We had a wonderful experience with Janine and would hire her again in a heartbeat. She and our dog Rosie got along great, she took Rosie on some fun adventures, and she is an excellent communicator. She was also a wonderful house sitter and left our house neater than she found it!

Janine went above and beyond. She walked my two pits twice a day while staying at my home. They can be a lot to manage and she had no issues. I think she might have given them more love than I do. Haha. She left the house spotless as well. I would definitely hire Janine again, as I know my dogs will be spoiled in her company.

Pet sitting is as fun for me as it is for your pets. I like to include pets into my daily activities as much as possible. If we are not out in nature, I like to lounge on the couch, ideally your pet next to me and a good novel in my hand. t’s a getaway for me more than a job, and its good for my heart and soul.

Information Janine G. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs of all sizes, and especially handle big dogs well. I definitely need to know a little bit about your pets personalities and habits so I can adjust. Also - I am willing to travel further / outside the Bay Area for longer stays. Just contact me and we can discuss your needs.

A typical day

When I house-sit for longer periods, I will take your pups somewhere exciting. Redwood Regional park has a leash-off area where they can run happily if that is something you are ok with. I love to go to the beach as well. Once I am familiar with your pet, and they are with me, I get creative and venture out so we both have a grand time.

During the week I am home working. I typically go on walks 2x a day, early morning and evening. Having a dog with me makes these walks much more fun. On the weekends I like to get out into nature and your pets are welcome to join. I familiar with many Bay Area parks, dog parks, beaches and surrounding trails and love to go for a good hike.
