About: I’ve taken care of my family dog since she was adopted at 5 years old and until her last day as a 14 year old. She was a black lab husky mix and 60 pounds. Izzy received lots of enrichment time and multiple short adventures a day as she got older. I currently work full time and am fostering a cat who needs daily medication, so I’ve got lots of availability for your weekend pet adventures! I know that all animals have their own personalities and require personalized support based on their interests and boundaries. I intentionally observe pets to see the level of affection they are looking for and of course if they have any favorite ways to play!
About: I love to be with animals of all sizes and breeds! When walking I'd love to make it interactive and run and play as they look for places to use the restroom to keep them active and engaged! As well as rewarding them for good behavior. When I check in on them I'd love to be able to love on them and keep them happy with me coming to visit them. Keeping them overnight is most exciting for me as I get time to know them and hopefully build a bond with them that will keep you bringing them back when you need too! We have a fenced in yard and many toys. My own pup is very excited to play with other animals all the time, as well as keep them rested, fed, and comfy while they wait for your return!
About: I have had so many different types of animals growing up ranging but not limited to as big as dogs to as little as frogs haha! I have also worked in the pet care industry so I can administer medication if needed. i’m usually pretty available, on the weekends. But I’m willing to work weekdays into my schedule it all depends on the timing for full transparency. I always make sure the dogs have the love and attention they would get from their parents. I always talk to the parents to get a good feel about the type of energy their dog enjoys. Individual care will depends on the dog (or cat) itself.
“Jana is an awesome pet sitter. She kept me updated with regular pictures and messages, and it was obvious our cat Freddie was comfortable and well cared for. We came home to a clean house and a happy cat! I highly recommend Jana and will definitely book her again.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my life. I have 2 dogs myself, a bulldog and Rhodesian ridgeback. I miss my dogs from home and would love to share my love for animals. I have dealt with my breeds and different personalities! I am experienced with puppies to old dogs. I am currently a college student at Miami university. I have quite a bit of free time throughout my days in the mornings, afternoons and nights. I can easily take dogs on walks, care for them in your home, and have a car for taking them wherever they need to go!
About: I have lived on a farm my whole life and I have been surrounded by animals since I was little. I have taken care of dogs from newborn to senior and everything in between. I have lots of experience with puppies and older dogs. I grew up around labs, German shepherds, Australian shepherds, and many mix breeds. I have had lots of cats and I know to how care for and love them as well! I currently set my own hours, so I have plenty of time to care for your wonderful pet or pets! If you have a time or set of times in mind, I am happy to work with you. I am happy to help in any manner you wish for your pet or pets!
