Hello, I'm Janine. I recently graduated from UNH (2017) and finished a service year with AmeriCorps. I have a part time job working a few hours at a time during the week and weekend. I have grown up around dogs of all kinds from Beagles and Pugs to Great Pyrenees, and I love them all. My home has a large un-fenced yard with plenty of room to run around in. I live on a quiet cul-de-sac which is great for quick walks and great exercise for dogs with lower energy levels. The streets around me are quiet as well for longer walks for more energetic dogs. If the weather is bad there's also plenty of room for indoor play and there are also many comfy couches and cozy spots for tired out pups. Having spent time away from my dogs while I was in college I can understand the anxiety and homesickness pet parents can feel when separated from their dogs. I will go out of my way to send you updates through out the day as much or as little as you like while you're away. I would love to meet you and your dog before a stay to set your mind at ease and make the transition a little easier for your dog! We recently rescued cat, Stella. She's very friendly and loves to run around. So far she has proven to be very comfortable with dogs but we would love to have a meet and greet first to make sure it's a good fit!
