I’ll love your dog like you do!!

Pet care experience

Hello there! Thanks for visiting my profile. I have loved animals, especially dogs, since before I can remember. I love getting to know new dogs and building my fur-friend circle. Each dog is unique and has his or her own temperament. It’s really important to me that I learn and understand them because it sets the tone for the pet/sitter relationship. I’ve been dogsitting professionally for 6 years now and I am so fulfilled getting to spend some of my extra time with dogs (or other pets). I have experience with dogs mostly, but I’ve also sat for cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, and even a hedgehog! I'm happy to tailor my communication to my clients preferences. Some owners want pictures and updates multiple times a day and others less frequently. I like to make my clients (human and animal) happy! I believe a happy dog is a tired dog, and I ensure my client's dogs are sufficiently exercised and happy when in my care! Above all, I make sure the dogs I sit for have a great time and want me to come back! Nothing makes me happier than making dogs and their people glad they chose me as the sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure they have everything they need to be happy and safe. I like to be outdoors and exercise so I enjoy going for at least one long walk a day (if the pup is up for it). I also like to play with them - I have a hallway most dogs like to use as their toy catching/chasing path. It’s good for keeping them busy while I’m working. If I’m in the client’s home, we’ll find the dog’s toy box and play with any and all the toy’s the pup is interested in.

Information Janine L. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I'd like to know how a dog behaves around other people, especially children, and other dogs. That will help me maintain control of situations on walks, or if visitors drop by while I'm boarding your pup.

A typical day

For dogs that like the outdoors, I like to find parks or hiking trails near my client's homes. Otherwise, walks around the block or in the neighborhood can be just as fun. I like to tailor my energy to that of the dog I'm sitting.

Right now, I work from home three days per week and am in the office from 7:30-5 the other two days. I like to spend the time I’m home with them switching between playing, walking, and relaxing. I have a small fenced in backyard so there are always opportunities to get some air and enjoy the weather. I may run brief errands but I normally don’t like to leave pups I’m watching for more than a few hours.
