About: Behavior-savvy, love-driven care with a heart for every pup. As a pediatric psychologist, I provide clinical care for children with emotional and behavioral needs, and I’ve seen just how powerful patience, trust, and compassion can be. Those same skills help me build meaningful connections with dogs, whether they are full of energy, feeling anxious, or just need a bit of extra love. I create a calm, comforting space where every dog can feel safe and understood. From zoomy puppies to sweet senior companions, I’m here to care for the whole dog, in both mind and body! I am currently working remotely (recently graduated my doctorate) and have a very flexible schedule all week! Therefore, my weekly routine can be adjusted as necessary. I'm more than willing to fit my schedule to your needs. I have a very dog friendly spacious apartment. I have a dog park that is attached to my apartment and various parks around that I take advantage of for my own pup. She is one of the most well trained, socialized, and friendly dog. She is 5 years old and was potty trained in the first three days (she was 11 weeks old when I adopted her). I am very lucky to have her and excited to introduce new friends to her if you'd like!
“Jana has been fantastic with my elderly dog! She has been very reliable about coming at our agreed-upon time on my one long day away from the house. She gives my elderly dog her meal and takes her for a nice walk around the neighborhood. Jana sends cute photos and summaries of her visit which allow me to feel confident that my girl is being well looked after!”

“Chuck walked my dog Wally for me for five days when I was in the hospital and did an excellent job. He was patient and friendly and wrote adorable little notes updating how each walk went. He took really cute photos of wally each day and varied the route, often walking longer than we even asked for and taking interesting paths around the neighborhood rather than the boring round the block walks! Thanks for the help and professionalism Chuck!!”
