Pet care and play while you're away

Pet care experience

***Before contacting me please know: I cannot accommodate new client requests without a 5 day notice. I need time to do a meet and greet to make sure we’re a good fit. I also work part-time, so on certain days I’m gone 6-7 hours at times. If your pet is unable to be alone for that long, I’m not a good fit for you.*** I am a proud fur baby mom to Winston, who is a senior cavalier King charles spaniel, a senior chihuahua named Blanche, and a 5 year old long-haired black kitty named Spooky, who thinks she is a dog! I have 18 years experience as a professional pet sitter and dog walker. I owned a small pet sitting service in New Jersey before I moved to San Diego in 2011. As of June 2025, I live in Phoenix, AZ.

Janine did an amazing job watching our dogs and cats. She was very prompt, had a very calming demeanor around the animals, and did a great job sending updates! Both times that we have used her, the house was spotless when we returned. I would recommend Janine to anyone looking for a reliable in-home pet sitter.

Janine was fantastic with our pets. She followed all of the instructions that I left perfectly and left my home in perfect order. She also updated me regularly and sent lots of pictures. It’s hard for me to feel at ease when traveling but Janine was reliable and communicative and made it much easier. We absolutely will be booking her again.

Janine is the absolute best! We felt so relaxed on our vacation knowing that Janine was at home caring for our pups. She was so communicative (which we asked for) so we got lots of updates and pictures while we were away and missing our babies. We have two senior dogs, both requiring medication, and Janine handled the procedures effortlessly, while also getting creative to make sure my stubborn eater would take his pills. She took great care of our home, and showed our dogs so much love, it really helped us to enjoy our vacation even more knowing they were happy and healthy under her care. We will absolutely contract with her again for the next time we go out of town, we highly recommend her for anyone’s pet sitting needs!
