Janna can care for
Availability
I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can easily do drop-ins and walks throughout the day and week. Planning ahead is helpful for me, so I prefer a week notice for jobs, but 3 days will work as well!

About Janna M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When dropping into your home for pet-care or going for a walk, I follow your instructions and guidelines. I know how important it is for pets to maintain their routine, and for expectations around behavior, food, and treats to be consistent. At the same time, I'll take care in getting to know your pet's personality. Just like getting to know a human, this takes time and trust-building--which is something I enjoy!
Information Janna M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know ahead of time how your pup or kitty generally likes to be approached on the first meet up. Do they have any special needs for managing anxiety or new activities? Are they any human behaviors that they don't particularly respond to? Anything you feel is helpful, I'd love to know!
A typical day
I love to help bust up the boredom with engaging games for both dogs and cats including puzzles, play with toys, foraging tasks while in the home. Going to the park or playing in the yard is also fun!

This Spunky Artist Loves Animals
Pet care experience
I'm an artist and movement educator with a flexible schedule and a love for animals. I see every non-human being as kin, and genuinely enjoy connecting, learning, and being with them. Many years of pet sitting for family, friends, and co-workers has given the baseline skills of walking, feeding, giving meds, and most importantly...keeping up with the pet-parent pics! My pup Eiko--a beautiful malamute and collie mix--whom we adopted at just 6 weeks old-- recently passed away at the age of 13. She was my best friend and also my biggest teacher, with the kindest heart, funniest quirks....and so many health problems. I feel comfortable with elderly pets, medications, tending, and mobility support--I know how important this was for me in finding sitters for Eiko. While my partner was a dog sitter while we lived in another state, I enjoyed meeting and getting to know all of the pups that stayed at our home. I soon fell in love with all different breeds and temperaments, and looked forward to their visits for playtime and cuddles. Now that my schedule is flexible, I'd love to spend my free time caring for your fur-babies!
Reviews



Janna did great checking in on my three cats for a long weekend! She was very thorough about understanding and implementing care instructions, provided good communication and pictures, and was able to carefully accommodate one of my cats that is very fearful of strangers. I hope to be able to rebook with her in the future!

Janna did great! She was prompt, kept us informed, and really bonded with Jasper. We plan to use her whenever we can!

Janna has been great with my dog! Very mindful of what he needs or what he could need. Good at communicating an quick with response times! Also great availability when it comes to last minute walking requests!
To those seeking a wonderful dog sitter. Janna Meiring has proven to be a wonderful dog sitter-dog walker. When my wife was admitted for emergency lung surgery Janna immediately came to our home and took over all the responsibilities of our newly rescued dog. Janna has a huge heart for animals and has proven her worth many times.
