Jan’s Pet Sitting is a private, one-dog-at-a-time service. If your dog needs a longer outing, call us to discuss availability.
Flexible scheduling to fit your routine. Midday walks are available Monday through Friday. Some clients book walks 5 days a week; others use us 2 or 3 days a week. We build a schedule around what works for you and your dog.
Please note we do not offer dog walks on major holidays.
Dogs We Specialize In
Our private walk format makes us especially well-suited for dogs who need individualized attention, a slower pace, or a calm, consistent routine.
Senior and Mobility-Limited Dogs
Older dogs and dogs recovering from injury or surgery often can’t keep up with a group walk pace, and they shouldn’t have to. Our 30-minute private walks let us move at your dog’s pace, watch for signs of fatigue or discomfort, and adjust the route as needed. We understand the physical needs of aging dogs.
