Pet-sitter skilled in dog training!

Pet care experience

I’ve been house-sitting and pet-sitting throughout the SF Bay Area and in Europe. I love dogs and cats, large and small. Reliable and responsible mature lady. I always do a meet-and-greet beforehand, so make sure client, pets and sitter are all on the same page. I have worked with Canine Companions for Independence, a national organization raise and train service dogs, as a volunteer dog bather for the dogs in training and the breeder dogs. I have worked with my own Golden Lab service dog, Iraina, for 13 years while she belonged to my disabled daughter. They trained me in dog behavior and how dogs think! I've owned cats my entire life and enjoy them a lot. I am at home, so I have plenty of time to be available, on holidays and weekends especially. Willing to travel. Flexible hours and long-term available. No charge for initial consultation/meet-and-greet. I have no pets at my home at this time, due to the fact that I am often at other people's homes, taking care of their wonderful animals.

Janis took great care of my two cats, with one requiring medication twice a day while also being very shy. This situation makes it challenging for pet sitters but she found a solution which made my experience stress-free and the cats were both in good spirits when I returned after a week away. I highly recommend Janis for her experience and great communication!

Janis did a wonderful job taking care of my toy poodle! Kept me updated on him and left my house in perfect condition. Have already recommended her to friends.

Information Janis G. would like to know about your pet

I especially love large dogs! I need to know who is their veterinarian, if they are taking any medication, how often they need to be walked and for how long, are they aggressive toward other animals, what they eat and how often, and how to access the home. Do they have any health issues if they are a senior animal?

A typical day

There is a grassy dog-run at my place. I live adjacent to the Southside Bike Path in Vacaville, where I walk daily, with or without pets! I always keep dogs on-leash, and don't usually go to any dog-parks because I don't know the other dogs and their health and temperment. I want to keep your dog safe!
