Furry Friend Fanatic

Pet care experience

All my life I have loved dogs. I have had a good amount of experience of caring for dogs starting with my grandmother's Labrador retriever when I was little. I would be a good sitter because I am very patient and love playing with the dogs I have had the pleasure of caring for. I am very attentive and will be quick to response to any dog's needs. I am also a good disciplinary with dogs and will put my foot down as soon as I meet the dog. This is crucial, because it means your dog will respect me (hopefully) as soon as we meet, and understand that they can not run me over. The final thing that differentiates me from other pet sitters is that I give an excess amount of tummy rubs!

Janu is a family friend and loving friend to our dogs. He has helped my brother by watching his black lab when he was out of town and he recently watched my fur baby when I left the country for a week. My dog is a pit-mix and requires extra attention due to medical issues. He remembered to give her Meds at the appropriate times and was always careful with her around other dogs. (She's not always friendly with other fur babies.) Janu has been a wonderful, and responsible dog sitter!

Janu is one of the most responsible and mature 18 year olds I've ever met. He has cared for my dog on many occasions and done a wonderful job. I have a 6 year old black lab that has a lot of energy. Janu somehow manages to keep him in a calm state and also loves to play with him outside. He is also very good with directions as far as feeding time, portions and medications. I can't think of anyone I'd trust more to take care of my furry friend while I'm away from home.

Information Janu G. would like to know about your pet

The number one thing I need to know is if your dog is well behaved and obedient. I can handle a high energy dog, but the dog must be obedient for the most part, and can not be highly aggressive. If they are aggressive off the bat and just needs time to adjust to their sitter, that is okay as long as your dog will become more relaxed as we get to know each other and build trust. I do not have any preferences for breeds, but I do have the most experience with Labrador Retrievers. My preference size wise is a medium sized dog, but I love all dogs regardless of size from as little as a few pounds to over a hundred. I am currently unemployed and going to high school so I would be able to watch them after 3 PM on weekdays except Tuesday, and currently I my weekends are free.

A typical day

I love to take walks on my own time, so I would take your dog to the same places I go to! So of my favorite places that are local are Hidden Oaks Nature Center, Green Springs Garden, Lake Accotink, Burke Lake, and Old Town Alexandria. I would take your dog to these places where we would take nice walks and have fun seeing other dogs! Some activities I would do with your dog is take them to the dog park if they are well behaved enough and play a lot of games with them! Some of my favorite games to play are fetch, hide and go seek, and throwing the Frisbee. I also like to play hide and seek. If your dog is down for it l will do my best to teach your dog tricks that he or she can do to receive a well deserved treat!
