Availability

I work from home full‑time, so visiting pups are with me throughout the day for company, potty breaks, and walks. I have a puppy corner in my office with toys and bones, and a special doggy armchair so they can have fun and be comfortable. We take frequent walks or just spend time in my yard and garden. Being outdoors with your pets is the highlight of being a dog sitter! Pets that board with us sleep in my bedroom and can choose a dog bed or a crate, whichever they prefer.

Safety, trust & environment

Our home is quiet, tidy, and set up for small dogs. I have a gentle school‑age son and two indoor cats who are used to dogs and usually keep their distance. I supervise all introductions, keep doors securely closed, and follow your safety preferences (leash rules, harness, crate if your dog is used to one) so your pup stays safe and comfortable during their stay.

Information Jolanta R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, anxiety, or quirks so I can plan a just right stay for them. I’m best suited for small dogs up to about 25-30 lb who are friendly (or indifferent) toward children and cats. I’m not a good match for large, very strong breeds. It’s also important to know about any reactivity, leash pulling, resource guarding, or history of biting, as well as their routine (feeding times, walks, meds, crate use) so I can keep everyone safe and comfortable.

A typical day

A typical day is calm and structured. I work from home, so your dog will hang out near my desk with plenty of potty breaks, short walks around the neighborhood, and cuddle breaks on the couch. In the afternoon we do another walk and some playtime or training games, then keep to your usual evening feeding and bedtime routine so your pup feels at home.

Pet care experience

I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs and have been involved in dog and cat rescue for many years, fostering multiple small dogs and puppies. I have lots of experience potty training puppies. I have a gentle school‑age son who is very respectful with animals. I specialize in hosting small to mid size dogs (max 2-3 at a time). My space is perfect for anxious, shy, or ‘velcro’ pups who don’t enjoy busy kennels.

Jolanta was great with our pup! She was super flexible with our crazy schedule and our dog definitely enjoyed doggy day care. Thanks Jolanta!

Jolanta saved our dinner plans when she agreed to babysit on short notice. Will have her on speed dial for future!

Jolanta is fantastic with our puppy. We leave her in the morning one or two days a week and pick her up after work. Jolanta is flexible and attentive, sending us regular updates. Our puppy comes home happy and tuckered out from a long day of playing with Jolanta and any other puppies she is caring for that day. Highly recommend!

Jolanta was enthusiastic, friendly , and accommodating. We have an anxious rescue and Jolanta went out of her way to make him feel safe. An avid gardener as well, she shares her passion and knowledge to all who are interested. Jolanta provided photos, videos and quick responses to our inquiries
