The Janet Difference
For 19 years, I've built Doggie Business on a simple principle: your dog deserves more than a crowded pack walk. They deserve individual attention, genuine care, and adventures that tire both body and mind.
I'm not running a volume discount dog walking service or scaling up to maximize profits. I'm one person who genuinely loves dogs, carefully selecting 5-6 well-trained companions for exclusive off-leash trail adventures at Stern Grove. Dogs travel in secure, comfortable crates—compatible friends can snuggle together—with their own space to decompress, and my undivided attention.
This isn't about volume—it's about quality. I've turned away more clients than I've accepted because I refuse to compromise on safety, temperament, or my "Zero Drama" standard. If your dog can't handle off-leash trail work or doesn't play well with others, we're not the right fit. And that's okay.
What Sets Me Apart
Exclusive Small Groups
Just 5-6 carefully selected, well-trained dogs per adventure. No crowded packs, no chaos.
Premium Off-Leash Trails
Private access to Stern Grove's beautiful trails where your dog can truly run and explore.
Professional Crates
I transport dogs in secure, roomy crates—a safety measure most walkers skip due to cost and reduced capacity. Crates limit how many dogs fit in a vehicle, which means lower profits. I prioritize safety over revenue. My spacious crates let dogs stand, turn around, and compatible friends often snuggle together.

What Clients Say
"I highly recommend Doggie Business! Janet is great with our three year old Yorkie, Buddy. It is more than a dog walking service - Janet trains and socializes your dog. She takes her job seriously and you can tell she genuinely cares."
"Janet has been taking our timid Bernedoodle to Stern Grove with a few friendly dogs 3 days a week and it's been working out very well. The van is super clean with large individual crates and you can tell she genuinely cares for the dogs."
"Janet is the most wonderful doggie caretaker of them all. She has treated our Roxy like her own since day one and it's been six years. She is dependable, reliable, and we trust her completely."
"Janet is very reliable and clearly loves our dog. She transports Maggie in her Doggie Business van where she is safe and secure. She takes Maggie for very long walks and Maggie is clearly exhausted when she returns home. Janet communicates very well with us, she is very trustworthy. We have no hesitation in recommending Janet for your dog walking needs."
Quality Over Quantity
This isn't a mass-market service. I intentionally keep my client list small so every dog gets the attention they deserve. I'm SPCA Dog Training certified and dog*tec Dog Walking Academy Certified with nearly two decades of experience, and I've built my reputation on reliability and results.
If you're looking for rock-bottom prices and someone who takes twenty dogs at once, I'm not your person. If you want professional, experienced care for a dog who's ready to thrive, let's talk.
