Pet care experience
I am a retired, mature female wanting to provide loving care for your small breed in my clean, non-smoking private home with no children and no other pets. I have a 20 lb. weight limit due to lifting restrictions. I have a fully enclosed yard on 2 acres in North Kitsap. I only accept 2 dogs at a time for overnight stays and 3 dogs for daytime care. Your baby is never left alone, and is accompanied by me at all times during trips out to the yard. Your dog will have free run of my house except for 2 bedrooms, and 100% availability of cuddles. We will go on a minimum of 2 walks a day, or as you desire. My services are totally tailored to what you want for your pet. Owners of very small breeds can relax, knowing that I never have large dogs here, which provides an additional measure of safety for your little ones. I am a total dog lover, but allergic to cats. I provide loving care to your pet in a quiet, serene setting. I am in total awe of the miraculous bond between humans and dogs! At your home, I will provide all the feeding, exercise, walks, and playing that your dog wants, plus clean-up of any messes. I understand how precious your baby is to you, and he/she will always be treated as my own! I am sensitive to the needs of senior dogs and I welcome them in my home. It's a win-win deal! You get a worry-free vacation, knowing that your dog is getting loving, personal attention from a real, warm human being and not languishing neglected in a kennel. I get to have fun with your sweet little dog and satisfy my love for dogs! Please note: In order to insure a happy and healthy experience for everyone, all dogs must be spayed/neutered, fully housetrained, and up to date on all vaccinations & flea meds. I am sorry that I can't make any exceptions on this policy. I am retired, so I am fully available to care for your babies, day or night. I am usually never gone for more than 2 hrs, for brief shopping trips or appointments. My yard is securely fenced, with locking gates. I am in attendance with your pet at all times and I never leave them alone while they are outside.

Super grateful to have found Janine -- she was always quick to respond, extremely thorough, and super kind! She provided updates and made me feel at ease with how she cared for my dog while I was away.
Thanks so much for the photos, updates, and extra care! Lola is so lucky she gets to stay with you.
We were so happy to find Janine to take care of our elderly small dog during our out of town trip. Her place is like a little oasis and Janine is super attentive and caring. She had just the right vibe and setting for our beloved family member. I didn't worry about our little doggy at all, knowing she was in the capable hands of Janine!
Janine is the fairy godmother for dogs!!! My dog Sophia immediately loved her and she is a great judge of character. Janine sent me several pics and messages about my girl that really put my mind at ease. Our house looked better than we left it when we returned!!! Janine is so personable and friendly that I knew it would be a perfect fit immediately after we met her. From now on we will be planning our trips to fit her availability!!!!!

Information Janine M. would like to know about your pet
I allow an hour for a Meet & Greet on a date ahead of the booking, and I keep my own info sheet on each dog, noting all of it's particular needs, preferences, feeding, meds, etc. I keep this info in a file for myself, so it is always here if needed.
A typical day
I like to match the play and activity levels of your pet. We can play easy or hard, in the house or out. I live on a quiet, dead-end road, so it is easy for me to go for walks in a calm setting.
