Safety, trust & environment

I usually enter the home, grab a handful of treats, the leash and walk out the door. I can play with the dogs outside until they tire, or take them on hikes, swims, etc. I love giving them an adventure filled day.

Information Janine R. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know if your dog has any special needs, medication, or any behavioral problems. Let me know if you prefer a get-to -know -each -other better date prior to taking care of them.

A typical day

We will play fetch, tug of war, and get plenty of exercise in together. Not to mention the unlimited amount of belly rubs. I love hiking and running, and would love to take them on these adventures if you'd like.

Pet care experience

I absolutely love dogs, and I will provide my full undivided attention to them, I will spend extra time playing with them, or taking them out on runs with me. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and was responsible for the training and hygiene. I can make my schedule flexible when needed. I no longer have a dog of my own, so for the past 3 years I've been taking my friends dogs out on long hikes. I currently have a cat, whom I taught how to high five! I love animals of every kind shape and size and I'd love the opportunity to take care of your pet!

Janine is truly a star sitter. Her communication from the beginning was clear and efficient. When she house sat our dog, she sent updates frequently. She also exhibited a caring and nurturing attitude towards our dog - who does well with this approach. We were completely relaxed on our trip and would wholeheartedly recommend Janine

We had an amazing experience with Janine! She took such great care of our dog, Shelby with lots of walks, love, and attention. She kept us updated regularly with pictures and let us know right away when Shelby had an upset stomach and didn’t eat breakfast, which we really appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared about Shelby and wanted her to be happy and comfortable. She even took care of our leopard gecko and watered our plants while we were away! I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and caring sitter.

We couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible care Janine provided while we were away. She was extremely responsive, kept us updated, and clearly has a natural way with animals—our dogs absolutely loved her. Not only did she take them on regular walks and play with them, but she also went above and beyond when both pups got sick during the stay. She handled everything with so much care and compassion, including cleaning up after them and making sure they were as comfortable as possible. It gave us so much peace of mind while traveling and made a huge difference knowing we had someone we could truly trust. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, and loving sitter!
