20+ Years Caring for Dogs 🐾❤️

I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From raising my own dogs—from playful puppies to gentle seniors—to dog sitting for friends and family, I’ve experienced every stage of a dog’s life and the love that comes with it. Over the years, I’ve helped with everything from leash and potty training to providing comfort and care when a pup wasn’t feeling their best. I’m patient, calm, and attentive, always focused on creating a safe and happy environment where dogs can relax and just be themselves. Animals seem to sense my energy and often gravitate toward me, and I truly believe they know when someone understands them. I’m most centered when I’m around dogs, and I love giving back the same joy and unconditional love they bring into the world. These days, I’m lucky to share my time with a 6-year-old Goldendoodle, a 10-year-old Maltese, two playful goats, and a flock of chickens—each one reminding me how rewarding it is to care for animals of all kinds. Whether it’s a walk, a cuddle, or an overnight stay, your pet will be treated like my own.

She is amazing! This is the first time I had to use a dog sitter and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease that my babies are being taken care of by her. She went above and beyond and made sure my dog were comfortable. I was gone for four days. She needs an extra time with them When they were feeling anxious or had a lot of extra energy. I will definitely be calling her again.

I highly recommend Janine as a caregiver to your pets. I’ve seen how incredible she is with animals — hers and everyone else’s. Animals love her, and honestly, they seem to gravitate toward her. She has that perfect mix of warmth, patience, and responsibility that pets respond to. I’ve seen her care for dogs with so much attention, gentleness, and joy. She takes time to understand each animals personality and makes sure they feel happy and safe. She’s also extremely trustworthy and reliable, which I know is exactly what pet owners want in a walker/sitter. Anyone who chooses her for dog walking or pet care will be lucky to have her.

I've never before met someone who loves all animals as much as Janine does. From my chickens to my dogs and goats, Janine has cared for them when I've needed it, and even asked to come over 'just because' she loves them so much. I can't recommend her enough. Your furry friends would be lucky to have her in their lives. Her quality of care is superior and her love unconditional. All animals seem to be drawn to her and her happiness to be around them is palpable. Do you and your furry love a favor with peace of mind knowing they are getting the absolute best! ❤️

My two girls light up when Janine shows up. She has such a natural way of connecting with them, and it’s sweet how she makes sure they both get equal attention. My girls adore her and we trust her completely.
