Safety, trust & environment

I stay outside with my dog and cats while they play in the yard and on the large patio. Inside we all hang out together in the large living area, but I also have another room with a gate where a pet can go if she needs some space. I can have your dog sleep in the crate or outside the crate, whichever makes her the most comfortable and happy.

Information Janis W. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if your dog has any special needs, likes or dislikes. Is there anything that may trigger a certain behavior that I should watch out for?

A typical day

I love to keep your dog entertained. We will play games and have a daily scent in the yard to stimulate her mind. We go on walks and stop often so she can smell all the neighborhood smells. She will also have the opportunity to play with my dog who loves having company.

Janis went above and beyond checking on our cats while we were out of town. She even made sure to check on our cat who is afraid of strangers to make sure she was well. Even when she walked into a stressful incident with one of our cats, she was able to address it and calm him down. I really appreciated all the love and attention she shared with our cats. I also enjoyed all the photos and detailed notes when she stopped by. We knew Janis was a perfect fit upon our first meeting. My son said as she left : you can tell she is a good person who loves animals. I couldn't agree more.

My kitties and I really appreciated the time and attention Janis provided on her daily visits. They may have gotten a little spoiled!
