Safety, trust & environment

I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home for drop-ins, walks, or sitting visits, I do my best to stick closely to their normal routine so they can feel relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. As a newly graduated veterinarian, your pets safety and wellbeing are always my top priorities. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, including puppies/kittens, anxious animals, senior pets, and those with medical needs. I’m also trained to recognize subtle signs of stress or illness, which gives many owners extra peace of mind when trusting someone with their furry family member. For dogs, I priority safe walks, secure leashing/harnessing, hydration, enrichment, and lots of positive attention. For cats, I understand the importance of patience, calm energy, and respecting each cat’s individual comfort level. I know how nerve-wracking it can feel leaving your pet with someone new, so communication is huge for me. You can always expect regular updates, photos, and honesty throughout my visits. My goal is not only for your pets to be well cared for, but genuinely excited to see me again!

Information Janis F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what specific needs your pet requires ahead of our booked session so I can plan accordingly. Whether that is behavioural or medical.

A typical day

Depending on your pets needs, I will accommodate fun activities! If your pet is more laid back, I will accommodate play sessions that don’t require high energy. For those who are highly energetic, I will provide enrichment games, and lots of fun walks in the neighbourhood with toys and treats.

Vet-Trained Animal Lover & Walker

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Janis, and I am a newly graduated veterinarian. I have had a lifelong love for animals and years of practical hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I am currently offering dog walking, dog sitting, and pet care services with a very flexible schedule before I begin full time veterinary work at the end of July. Thanks to my extensive veterinary training and clinical experience, I am comfortable caring for pets with medical needs, administering medications, monitoring senior pets, and helping anxious animals feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, a shorter stroll, playtime and enrichment, cuddles on the couch, or just a calm reassuring presence, I tailor my care to what makes them happiest. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animal. I’ll always treat your pets like they’re my own, and keep you updated with plenty of photos and communication while they’re in my care! Id love to meet you and your furry family members!

Janis is an incredibly loving and compassionate professional. As a veterinarian, her intelligence and medical background provide such peace of mind, but it is her genuine kindness toward every animal she meets that truly sets her apart. She is responsible, deeply caring, and a wonderful choice for anyone looking for a high-quality pet caregiver.

Janis is a born animal lover and a trained Doctor of Veterinary Medicine…what more could you want for someone who cares for your precious fur baby?! I feel so grateful that our 6 year old Cavapoo was in her care while we travelled overseas. During this time, she needed to give my already anxious dog medication and walk her in an unfamiliar environment. Janis approached this with incredible care and sensitivity, always sending thorough updates and photos to give me peace of mind. I would 100 percent ask Janis again to care for my dog and anyone who gets the chance would be lucky to!

I cannot recommend Janis highly enough for pet sitting, dog walking, and cat care services. She recently graduated from veterinary school, and her knowledge, professionalism, and genuine compassion for animals are immediately obvious the moment you see her interact with pets. Beyond her medical training, what really stands out is how naturally patient, calm, and attentive she is with animals of all personalities. My own dog is extremely picky with people and can be slow to trust, but he absolutely adores Janis. She has a way of making animals feel safe and comfortable, and she takes the time to understand their individual personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s caring for cats, taking dogs on walks, or providing overnight pet sitting, Janis is dependable, responsible, and truly treats every animal as if it were her own. Knowing my pet is with her gives me complete peace of mind. Any pet owner would be incredibly lucky to have someone as caring, knowledgeable, and trustworthy looking after their animals.
