Pet care experience

i will love your dog as my own.

i've had dogs throughout my life. i had three darling maltese of my own as i was good friends with a maltese breeder and got my dogs through her. i can't remember loving anything more. dogs have brought much peace and happiness to my life and while i'm not quite ready for the responsibility again, i feel i need them in my life, so caring for someone else's furbaby is a great answer for me.

We recently moved to NYC, and finding someone Wookiee truly loved was one of the most stressful parts of the move. We’re so glad we found Janis! Wookiee felt comfortable right away. Highly recommend!

Barry had a great day with Janis! He loved her since the beginning and even napped on her lap. It was super easy to communicate with her and she is such a lovely person overall, she sent some pics of our little boy and kept us posted during the day. Barry will definitely come back to spend the day with her!

i have an apartment and a roof top deck where dogs can relieve themselves. for exercise, there are several very friendly dog parks near my neighborhood. i also play catch with them in my home, if they're small enough! :-)

A typical day

i love to cuddle, play catch, chase your pets around, throw toys they can fetch, teach them tricks whatever, but mostly give them all the love and care they need and are accustomed to

if your dog has special needs like medications, allergies, foods to avoid, injections, i have experience and am happy to provide that care. you can expect them to get full time attention, walks and plenty of cuddling. :-)
