Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Lover in East York!
Specializing in senior and/or special needs dogs that require a little extra love and attention such as vision and hearing impairment, arthritic, mobility issues, dietary allergies and special dietary needs/restrictions or fear of other dogs. I am experienced in administering pain and anti-inflammatory medication both pill and liquid as well as eye drop and ear drop medication and light massage for sore joints and muscles. My own dog Otis was a special needs fur baby who was my constant companion and best friend. After over 18 years Otis passed away and even though I may not be ready to get another fur baby of my own I have lots of love to give and understand the struggle of finding appropriate care for a special needs pet. I have a single story home in a quiet residential neighbourhood with a fully fenced (6ft solid wood fence and locked gate) large backyard with a separately enclosed inground pool that dogs may use with parents permission and safety flotation vest. The pool is great for dogs with mobility issues. Close to two parks with a small quiet park a 2 min walk away and a larger more active park a 5 min walk away. I have recently started online self study classes which allows me greater flexibility to provide one on one care. For special needs pets I am happy to do a complimentary meet and great before providing any services. For daycare and overnight care in my home dog must be "non-shedding" or "low shedding" due to allergies. Such as shih-tzu, shih-poo, poodle, doodle, maltese, yorkie etc. For walks and visits to your home I'm happy to do all breeds . I am also a life long aquarist with extensive experience in fresh and salt water fish, reef aquariums and koi ponds. Also fish that are aggressive and carnivorous and enjoy live feeding. Happy to provide care and maintenance services while you are away.

Ivy had a wonderful stay! She pulled me right to the house and couldn't wait to go in!! 😄
Janis is a warm and caring pet sitter! Morgan just spent 2 nights with her, and it all went smoothly. From the first meet and greet to the stay Janis was communicative, friendly and knowledgeable. During Morgan’s stay Janis sent regular pictures and messages, and I felt comfortable leaving my anxious Airedale in her care. And Morgan was obviously comfortable too. I will be booking my next vacation soon, with Morgan having her own vacation with Janis.
Janis is a great sitter and Luna likes her very much. Janis takes such a good care of Luna that she feels like she’s at home 😃
Janis is an EXCELLENT pet sitter. This is our second time using her. We sent our dog to her during a move and it was so good to know she was in great hands and was settled in a familiar place. We also get so many updates and photos from Janice- we just love that.
We had an excellent time with Janis for our 2 poodles for 3 weeks! She sent us photos and updates each day. The dogs were very happy with her. Highly recommended and looking forward to future bookings with her. Amazing experience!
Second time leaving our dog with Janis, he seems to have a great time there, would definitely book with her again.

Schedule
I am currently doing self study online schooling from home so my schedule is very flexible to allow me to provide one on one care and attention.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced large backyard with 6ft tall solid wood fencing and locked gate as well as a fully fenced inground pool that the dogs can use with pet parents permission and a flotation safety vest. Quiet home with no other fur babies so your pet will get all of my love and attention. Happy to carry older dogs in and out of the house, car or up onto furniture and bed if needed. Dogs must always wear a seat belt in my vehicle if not crated. I have my own seat belt attachment to secure to a dogs collar or body harness. Crates will also be belted in if being transported in my vehicle. If you do not allow your fur baby on furniture or to sleep in the bed then please let me know and provide a crate for sleeping if needed.
A typical day
Your dogs day will be customized based on their activity level. Walks around the neighbourhood and to the park, play in the pool in nice weather if dog parents allow. Fun training exercises, play catch in the backyard and lots of cuddles. For full day-care services and overnight stays we can do trips to the off leash dog park about a 10min drive away if dog parents allow.
