What’s Included in Every Dog Walk
Every Jan’s Pet Sitting dog walk is a one-dog-at-a-time, private walk. Here’s what your dog gets from the moment we arrive:

- Fresh water and any mid-day feeding, per your instructions
- Medication administration if needed (please discuss with us in advance)
- Written report card and photo update sent after each walk
Dog Walking Rates

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.

Thank you so much for all the walks and fun! I just want to say how much I appreciate all of you – you’ve done an outstanding job and Meme is all the better for it. I wish I could take you all with me.
We have really enjoyed getting to know you and really appreciate your compassion and dedication to what you do. Micky obviously enjoyed his walks with you and it provided us with a peace of mind knowing he was with someone who was so good with dogs and cared so much about him.
