Hiring Janet was a good experience. She was communicative, responsive, and kind. I feel she is a good contact to have if we need pet care in the future.

Details: 1 dog • 1 - 2 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • 45 minutes • Prefer a private walk for my dog(s) alone • My home, venue, etc.

Janet has stayed with my (very needy) small dogs twice now for two-week stays, and all was well on our return. My chihuahua mixes have health concerns and take some time to warm up to people, but were able to bond with her. It was nice being able to leave and know that they would be taken care of.

Details: Dog • 3 pets • Giving food and water • Taking pet outside • Providing companionship • Providing exercise • Dispensing medication • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • My home, venue, etc.

Janet bonded with our 3 dogs quickly. Each has their own unique personality and she handled them well. She was always flexible with timing and communicative if the timing was going to be an issue on her end. You can tell she's very passionate about pups and cares about the dogs in her charge.

Details: 3 dogs or more • 0 - 1 years old • 2 - 10 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Medium (26 - 40 lbs) • 60 minutes • No preference • My home, venue, etc.
